Tributes 12/6/2007 - We fondly remember Jean's enthusiasm and vigor when she was able to go on her walks around the Moab neighborhood. We'd be working in our yard, and Jean would walk by and always greet us with excitement and kind words. She had a zest for life, and her memory will live on.... Sending our deepest sympathies, Part-timers- Pat & Jim - Pat and Jim12/5/2007 - It has been decades but I can still recall the family gatherings in Uniondale, N.Y. I especially remember the enclosed patio with the big brick fireplace and the deer or moose head above it. The many holiday meals where us cousins would put together a variety show of singing and dancing which our Aunt's and Uncle's bravely tolerated and enthusiastically applauded. The summer's in the pool and the lightning bugs we would catch at nightfall in the backyard. The many summer barbeque's at the house on Bedford and at the beach. But most of all I will remember Aunt Jean with love always. - Maureen McDonnell (Niece)Photo Gallery - Click a Picture For Enlarged Slide Show Printable Page Add Picture Add Tribute/Condolence PLEASE NOTE: Pictures and Tributes will be reviewed before being posted.
