To all of Jeannie Marie's family - I am so sorry to hear that she is gone. Jeannie was a mentor to me back in my UPS days. Don't know how I would have fared without her. I would guess that there are many people who could say the same. I cherish my good memories of her.

I am so sorry to find out about her passing too late to get to the wake or funeral. I knew Jeannie as one of the best UPS drivers I have ever seen. That girl was tougher than nails in this tough business but everyone loved her. My deepest sympathies for this terrible loss.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jeannie's passing. As fellow "Townies" that relocated to Braintree, we'd now and again run into each other in our travels, the most recent of which seems like only a few months ago when bumping into her @ Shaws. On that day she was her vibrant self and she had alongside her her son Michael which I could tell she doted over. We often ask "why" when we hear of such saddness Jeannie's family and friends are endeauring. May Jeannie's smile be a keepsake for all that were fortunate to have shared her company along life's way.
God Bless Jeannie's family and God Bless Jeannie....RIP.

We met again later when she was my UPS delivery person at a college I worked at in Boston. I have thought of her often over the years. She has the most amazing personality and such a contagious smile. May your fond memories keep her spirit alive. Rest in peace my friend.
