Jean Milano Greco
Jean Milano Greco, 84, of East Haven passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025. She was born in New Haven on September 8, 1940, daughter of the late Mary and John Milano.
Jean was the beloved mother of Ralph (Valerie) Greco, Donna (Al) Peterson and Laura Greco. She was a proud grandmother to Matthew (Julia) Caputo and Paula (Brandon) Caputo and a cherished great Nonni to Liana Caputo.
She was predeceased by her husband Alfred "Freddy" Greco along with siblings Louis Milano, Marie Torello, Rose Costello, Theresa Fraulo, Andy Milano, Frank Savo and Al Santacroce.
Jean lived a life centered on faith, family and service. A devoted Christian, she dedicated herself to helping others. She worked for many years at ACES as a kitchen manager and volunteered her time at Connecticut Hospice, offering comfort and care to those in need. Her warmth, strength and enduring love will leave a lasting legacy in the hearts of all who knew her.
The Greco family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Regency House of Wallingford for the compassionate care and kindness shown to their Mom. She deeply treasured the friendships she formed there. A special thank you is also extended to her aide Linda for the loving care she provided.
Per Jean's wishes, her funeral services will be held privately. The Iovanne Funeral Home, Inc. is in care of her arrangements.
