  • Jean and I worked closely at SSA for several years. She was always pleasant to deal with and was a great and loyal friend. She chatted amorously with callers to the RC office and made everyone feel welcome. Condolences to David and his family, and the rest of her family as well.

  • Jean was a great person to work with. Her Southie upbringing made her an authentic what you see is what you get person. Got a kick out of the fact she kept a picture of classmate James Bulger in her desk. RIP Real Jean.

  • Auntie Jean was my favorite aunt. She was always there for me in good times or bad. There was nothing that I could not tell her, and a relationship like that is priceless. She had a wonderful way of making me smile. I’m sure she could keep up with anything you spoke about. She read so much that she could have held several degrees over any ivy leaguer. My Godmother, my Aunt and my friend you are missed! I love you Auntie Jean!
