Jeanne Anne Spath (Kadric), 83, born on January 9, 1942, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, went to be with the Lord on September 20, 2025.

Jeanne lived a vibrant and full life marked by her passion for travel that took her to many corners of the world, always seeking new experiences and cultures. Las Vegas held a special place in her heart, offering both excitement and cherished memories. Her fascination with Hawaiian history reflected her appreciation for rich traditions, storytelling, and local cuisine. Jeanne also found joy in collecting cookbooks, savoring the stories behind recipes as much as the meals themselves.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles S. Spath, Sr., and her brother, Gary S. Kadric. Jeanne is lovingly remembered by her children: Kristen A. (Bradford) Wise, Charles S. (Susan) Spath, Jr., Karin P. (Scott) Hemenway, and Jason T. (Cara) Spath, Sr. Affectionately known as Nonnie, she leaves behind 14 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; Bradford C. (Elizabeth) Wise and Amelia, Joshua A. (April) Wise and Corbin & Caden, Samuel J. (Laura) Wise, Charles S. Spath III, Stephanie F. (Aaron) Lengel and Madison & Hailey, Justin D. Spath, Jeremy M. Spath, Nicole J. (Zachary) Purcell and Presley, Hannah E. Hemenway, Zoe M. Hemenway, Brady T. Hemenway, Jason T. Spath Jr., Ryan J. (Sydney) Spath, and Emmie R. Spath. She is also survived by her sister Janet Marks, brother-in-law Peter A. Spath, Sr., and many nieces and nephews.
