Jean Beagan Obituary

Jean Beagan, 61, of Ocala, FL, passed away peacefully at home on July 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 30, 1963 to John and Linda Kennedy of Delray Beach, FL.
Jean was a caring daughter, loyal sister, loving wife, nurturing mother, and proud grandmother. She is predeceased by her father, John Kennedy, and her brother, Daniel Kennedy.
Jean is survived by her husband, William and children Ryan, Sean, Colin, and Caitlin; her granddaughters Charlotte (daughter of Ryan) and Josie (daughter of Colin); William's children Stacey Seidenstucker and Thomas Beagan, their grandchildren Tyler and Trent Beagan, and Madison and Cameron Seidenstucker, and their four great-grandchildren; her mother, Linda Kennedy and her siblings, Dawn Overton, Annemarie Bachman, John Kennedy, and Paul Kennedy.
Jean dedicated her life to helping others in every way she could. Her compassion and generosity touched countless lives, from her work at The Refuge to the many students she inspired while teaching math at Inverness Middle School and Fort King Middle School in Ocala.
Jean enjoyed life and had a deep love for the beach, a green thumb for bonsais, a passion along with exceptional skills for baking desserts, an infectious sense of humor that lit up every room, and an unconditional love for her family and friends. Jean's warmth, compassion, and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her.
A memorial service will be held on July 25, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home, 954 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470.
