Born on April 19, 1940, in Milford, Jean was the beloved daughter of the late Frank and Gladys (Balduf) Lobisser. She shared a lifetime of memories and an unbreakable bond with her devoted husband, Lewis L. Gilpatrick. Together, they raised a family that was the center of her world. Jean was a loving mother to Laurie Niro and her husband Brian of Mendon, Tammy Gilpatrick and her husband Robert Clark of Uxbridge, and her son-in-law, John Toner of Uxbridge. Her life was further enriched by her brother, Walter Lobisser of Milford, and her sisters, Janet Cappellucci of Milford, Barbara Bruce of Bellingham, and Frances Bouchard of Milford.

Each of them held a special place in her heart, and she cherished the memories they made together.
Throughout her career, Jean was a dedicated employee at Boston Scientific and Johnson and Johnson, from which she retired in 2003.
