Jean M. Kavanagh

We saw Chris Bright today, we were so heartbroken to hear of Jeans passing, so many beautiful memories of your parents and the beautiful grandfathers clock your dad made for us. May God Bless them both

We are so sad to hear about Jean. She was always so good to our family -dropping off a meal when a new baby arrived and will be sorely missed. My mother always would tell me she was going out with the girls from Rosary- their friend network kept my mother sane through the last couple of years. We are thinking of you.

Jean you will be missed deeply. At Rosary we had such fun and weekends down the Cape at my house. You were a true friend and a wonderful and caring woman for over 60 years.

Rest In Peace my friend. Glad we had a chance to chat at the last reunion. We will miss you in September.❤

Jean was one of my Mother's closest childhood friends so she is part of many happy memories, Bunker Hill day and St Patricks's Day and at my wedding- in this picture. Jean was kind, fun and generous - she was a great sport when Ronnie jumped in to be our impromptu wedding photographer & he took a detour from the reception to the Boston Gardens to take beautiful photos that we never would had if not for them.
We will miss her. Your family are in our prayers. Love, Beth (Rinaldi)

Jean left a big impact on me for someone I only knew initially as my grandma´s neighbor (and later as someone I helped with yard work).

While most will note her contagious energy and easy spirit, I´ll also add that she proved to be one of the toughest people I´ve ever met. From mounting health problems to unbearable personal grief, she endured more in the last few years alone than most will in a lifetime. I´ll always be inspired by the grace and resiliency she showed to the very end.

A wonderful aunt and godmother. She will be missed greatly. She was a wonderful aunt, godmother, wife, mother, friend and colleague. Our family will not be the same without her. I loved her with all my heart. God bless you Colleen and Ryan. Love, Kelly

Sending love and healing prayers to Jeannie´s family. Cherish every memory of her wonderful life

Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. "Jean Marie" was evidently one of those marvelous souls with a big heart and great love and compassion. Colleen, when my mother died, you posted this statement to me, "Grief takes up all the space in one's head." You are right. And I heard a similar quote at the funeral of a close friend a few weeks ago, "Grief is just love with no place to go," which is why we feel so adrift. Know that we love you and your extended family, and send you prayers for a peaceful soul. - Sally and Phillip Chetwynd

As we celebrate the life of a wonderful, kind and thoughtful woman, I join with her family in mourning her passing. Jean made a difference in so many ways. Fond memories of our days at Rosary Academy. Her sense of humor, sweet singing voice and story telling will be missed. So happy she was with us for our 60th in September. Rest in peace.

I only met Jean a few times (as my best friend was marrying her son Ryan) and I am so glad that I did! Such a vibrant woman who inspired many laughs and smiles. It's easy to see her lasting impact on her beautiful family. Sending the biggest hugs to you all as your mourn this big loss.

Jean was a truly wonderful person. We did enjoy her funny stories and of course we always laughed that she had "The Jacket " on every year. This past reunion we asked her how she stored it as there were absolutely no moth holes in it after 60 years! She was the Best. My love and prayers to you, Jean.

I spent many weekends with Jean at Jackie's house at the cape and also one very memorable trip to Karen's in Florida where she always had us in hysterics. She was an honorary part of our Aquinas group. The last time I saw Jean was outside the Holy Trinity Chapel in Dennisport after mass with Colleen and her beautiful grandchildren. Her winning smile and wonderful sense of humor will be missed and never forgotten.

I will miss Jean and appreciate the loyal friendship she and Ronnie have always shown to my family. - Peter Rinaldi
