Jean Marie Pisaneschi

1945 - 2021

WEST WYOMING — Jean Marie (Strohl) Pisaneschi, 75, a resident of West Wyoming, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday morning, Feb. 24, 2021, with her husband, John, at her side, following a struggle with Alzheimer's disease.

Her loving husband is John Pisaneschi. Together, John and Jean shared 58 beautiful years of marriage.

Born on Sept. 12, 1945, in Lawton, Jean was one of 18 children born to the late Francis and Mary Arlene (Cook) Strohl.

A faithful Catholic, Jean was a member of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville.

Jean was the neighborhood Good Samaritan, always taking care of others. From cooking for the elderly, giving rides, taking care of the sick, or listening to problems, Jean's countless good deeds and care for others were only matched by her inner goodness and beauty.

Throughout her life, Jean had a great love for all animals, especially horses and dogs. She enjoyed golfing in younger years; dancing; visiting her many sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews; going out to eat; and shopping.

An attentive and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Jean's family brought her the greatest joy in life. Although her beautiful presence will be missed beyond measure, we rejoice that she is now enjoying paradise with her Lord, who she so faithfully served.

Preceding Jean in death, in addition to her parents, Francis and Mary Arlene Strohl, were a number of her brothers and sisters; her mother and father-in law, Elda and Joe Pisaneschi, who were a second set of parents to Jean; her son-in-law, Dr. Vincent Coccodrilli; and several of her nieces and nephews.

In addition to husband, John, Jean was a devoted mother to her two children, Donna Marie Coccodrilli, of Exeter; and the Rev. Joseph J. Pisaneschi, Pastor of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville. She was an adoring grandmother and great-grandmother to her granddaughters, Gena, of West Pittston and Shiloh, of Exeter; and her great-granddaughters, Kaya Lynn and Elda Lourdes, both of West Pittston.

Additionally, Jean is survived by her sisters and brothers; her numerous nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog, Bella.
