Jean Fitzgerald Obituary

Jean was educated in schools in New York and Woonsocket. She worked at both Woonsocket and Fogarty Hospitals for many years and at the Fabien St. workshop. Jean had an engaging, sunny personality and was loved by all who knew her. She brought much joy to her housemates and will be sorely missed.

Oh i am so sorry. When we lived on Woodland rd. Jean used to visit us often. She always knew what was going on in the neighborhood. She always remembered everyone in our family and even birthdays and my new born children. Your mother would be amazed at her long life. Thinking of you all.

Jean lived across the street from me on Woodland rd. for many years. We were very close to the entire family. She was a frequent visitor to our house. She even came to St. Charles church to see me get married in 1967. What a wonderful life She lived. Her mother and father would be ecstatic to know how well and how long she lived.I know, personally how much they worried about their children. My condolences to Claire, Connie and Tommy but Isn't it wonderful that she had a productive life. Taffy Morrison McGann and jay, John and David Morrison.Thinking of you.
