Francine Bavaro
December 10, 1964 - June 10, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Francine Bavaro (née Reardon), who peacefully left us on June 10, 2025, at the age of 60.
Francine was born on December 10, 1964, in Jersey City, NJ and spent the majority of her life as a resident of Middletown, NJ. Throughout her life, she was a devoted mother, beloved family member, and cherished friend. Her warmth, kindness, laughter, and love touched the lives of all who knew her.
She is survived by her devoted and loyal husband, Jeff, as well as her two children, Chris and Rebecca, who were the center of her world. Francine found immense joy in watching them grow and begin to build their own families. Her sister, Mary will forever treasure the countless memories they created together.
She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Olivia and son-in-law Nick, whom she welcomed with open arms and loved as her own.
Francine's legacy lives on through her new grandson, Noah, as well as the love she gave so freely, the lessons she taught, and the beautiful family she nurtured.
Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, June 12, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at John F Pfleger Funeral Home 115 Tindall Rd, Middletown Township, NJ 07748.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday at 10:30 AM at Saint Mary, Mother of God Church: 19 Cherry Tree Farm Rd, Middletown Township, NJ 07748.
Francine was a passionate advocate of adopting rescue dogs, and in lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the SPCA of Monmouth County, New Jersey in Francine's memory.
