Jean attended Marywood High School and College in Scranton. She met her husband Bob shortly after graduating and were married on September 6, 1958. Jean lived a beautiful life with her husband Bob. She had the privilege of living in different states throughout the country in beautiful homes. In each place that Jean lived, she made strong friendships and embraced the qualities of that area. Jean and Bob also had a passion for travel, and they had the opportunity to travel to many different countries around the world.

Jean was especially proud of her Italian heritage. Her greatest joy in life was her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She loved taking care of her home, entertaining and cooking fabulous meals for her family and friends. She enjoyed reading cookbooks like they were novels, listening to music, traveling, shopping and spending time with her loved ones.

Jean was born and raised Roman Catholic and lived daily with gratitude and strong Christian values. She would openly share her faith with her children, grandchildren and all that knew her. She was a very positive person who loved people and brought comfort to others. Those that knew or had an opportunity to meet Jean, will greatly miss her kindness, compassion and extreme generosity.
