Jeanne’s family moved to New York City, where she met the love of her life, Tom. They were married in June of 1952. During their 65 years together, they weathered life’s ups and downs, moved to Haverstraw in 1965 and then Stony Point in 1997 until Tom’s passing in 2017. They called Haverstraw their home for most of their life together, raising their two children, Bob and Stacy there and later welcoming their two grandsons, Sean and Danny. Surrounded by family and friends that became family, they had an amazing life. Jeanne worked for Bankers Trust and later CH. Martins. She was a member of the Haverstraw Elks, and both the Haverstraw and Stony Point Seniors. She loved spending time with her friends, and frequented many events and trips. She was an avid reader, loved to play cards and could be easily persuaded to hit the casino! In fact, she spent her last Monday in one! At the age of 87, she took a leap of faith, packed herself up and moved across the country to Sedona, Arizona to be closer to Bob and his beautiful wife, Lynne. Jeanne enjoyed 7 wonderful years with them, being treated like a queen by both Lynne and Bob.

Jeanne took immense pride in her family and loved them dearly. Her children were her greatest joy, until her grandsons came along, only to be outshined by her great-granddaughters, Chloe, Fiona, Kacey Jeanne, Alex. She was always in awe of how smart and beautiful they were.
