Jean Wetherbee Obituary

Jean Sandra Wetherbee went to the Lord on May 27, 2024 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Jean was born in Lowell on January, 15, 1951 and attended United Centerville Methodist Church as a youngster. She graduated from Dracut High School and her first job was at Brox's Dairy in bookeeping. She was known for speeding around in her bright red Ford Falcon convertible. At her later years she attended nursing school at St. Josephs and was a nurse at the Nevins home in Methuen for several years.

Jean was predeceased by her father Harry K. Wetherbee, JR. She is survived by her mother, June E. Wetherbee; sisters, Judi L. Braman and Joan M. Westcott; brothers Harry K. Wetherbee III and John W. Wetherbee. Also surviving are her daughter Pamela Russell and son, Richard Silva Jr.; grandaughters Amanda Frost, Selena Silva, Baily Silva, Faith Silva; grandsons Mikey Silva, and Joey Kitts; and several great-grandchildren.

There are no services but a Celebration of Life is planned for September 21, 2024 at Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in Derry. In lieu of flowers a donation in her name may given to The American Cancer Society.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
