Jean Marie McNab

Passed away peacefully, October 8, 2020, at the age of 88.
Born March 30, 1932 to Edward and Josephine Sullivan. Jean attended Paul Revere, Francis Scott Key and Holy Name Grammar Schools, and Presentation High School. She worked as a Scheduler/Planner in the San Francisco Unified School District.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Jeanie was a proud member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West. She was known for her sense of humor, feisty personality, and love for her family and her Irish Heritage. She spent quite a bit of time in Ireland with her grandchildren and cousins. While her sons attended Riordan High School in San Francisco, she was president of the Riordan High School Women's Club. She was born with a deck of cards in her hand and passed her love of the game down to her kids. Her happiest times were spent watching her children and grandchildren play sports, especially soccer. She was an avid fan of the SF Giants, 49ers, and Golden State Warriors. She lived to help others, in any capacity. In her retirement, she was the president of Our Lady of Mercy's (OLM) Young at Heart club and volunteered at OLM's Parish Festival, Doelger Senior Center, Pacifica Senior Center, and Sunset Ridge Elementary School, where her granddaughter taught. She remained close with her classmates from the Academy of Presentation High School, planning and hosting many reunions and events. She had a story for every street in San Francisco, and the Golden Gate Bridge will forever be known as "Nana's Bridge" to her family.
She is survived by her children Hugh Daniel McNab (Terri), Edward Patrick McNab (Susan), Rose Marie Adel, Mary Jo Addiego (Matthew) and Thomas O'Dwyer McNab (Cindy); grandchildren Meghan Campbell (Andrew) Eamon McNab (Carrie), Joey McNab, Emily McNab, Bridget McNab, Christopher Addiego, Ryan McNab (Chloe) Kerry McNab, Aaron McNab, Michael McNab, Connor McNab, Alexandria Adel and Lily Adel; great grandchildren Charlotte McNab, Moria Jean Campbell, Dominic McNab and Chester Huckleberry McNab. Predeceased by her spouse Hugh Donald McNab; grandchildren Edward McNab and Mary Kate Addiego; and sister Patricia Thorsen.

To the McNab Family: I'm truly sorry for your loss. She was a great Lady who was always happy to hear from you. She was a sweetheart who always put a smile on MY face when I spoke to her. I was her Financial Advisor and she was one of my favorite clients for over 20 years. She talked about her family often and I will miss her bright, infectious upbeat personality. She was truly one of God's great people.

Dan, Terri and the McNab family, you should be blessed to know, heaven just got another angel. An angel who will be looking down on you all and protecting you. I met your Mom but a couple of times and remember the big smile on her face and her quick wit. She always made me feel welcome. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear MCNab family,
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom, Jean. We loved her! She had a wonderful sense of humor! She was always upbeat! What a good friend to my mom. She showed much love to us whenever we ran into her, whether it was on South Mayfair, at OLM church, or at my mom's visiting. She will be sorely missed. I hope fun memories of her will give you some peace during this difficult time. We are praying for all of you.

Dear McNab Cousins, Auntie Jeanie was the life of many parties. I have found memories of the family Christmas parties that she began in the 60s and have continued on. I will miss her smile and laugh.
Much love, Col

I've been to a few funerals with Jeannie, she always would say to me "Aren't you glad you knew them and were in their life" - I was glad to know you Jean Marie and be a part of your life and family. Love to the McNab Clan

I am so sorry to hear of Jeanie's passing. I worked with Jeanie at the San Francisco School District. She was introduced to me by Lori Giannini, friend and co-work at SF School District. Jeanie was kind, adventurous, and had such a wonderful sense of humor. She had the best jokes and would email them to me and make me smile. She hosted my bridal shower at her home with co-workers at the SF School District. I spent a weekend with her at her Grass Valley home. We went out for dinner and drinks and she struck up conversations with people she didn't know and we had a great time. She was generous, loving, warm, feisty, funny and strong. She loved her family very much, and always talked about her kids and family. Jeanie was one of a kind and will be missed terribly. My deepest condolences to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, friends and all who loved and had the pleasure to be around her. It was a pleasure to know you, Jeanie, and I love you. Rest in peace, my friend.
