Cherished Grandma of 14 Grandchildren and Nonna to 12 Great Grandchildren. Predeceased by her nephew and handyman George Cuddy. She will be greatly missed by George’s wife Kathy and his children Sheryl, Leanne, Chris and their families, who she considered her Grandchildren. Special friend to her daughter in law Connie and her favourite neighbor (nephew) Joseph who she shared many meals with.
Survived by her sister Anne Ricco and predeceased by her 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Survived by her brother in law Patrick and sister in law Mary.
Jean was a long time member of Club Roma Seniors and St. Alfred's Seniors.
Jean was a loving compassionate, friendly, strong and amazing woman. She devoted her life to her family, friends and her strong Catholic faith.
While Paul went out to work every day, Jean stayed at home with the kids. This is where she chalked up her excellent cooking skills. Our family will miss our mom’s delicious pizzelles, roasted red peppers and wedding soup, which was on every family celebration menu. Her famous soup was known to cause the grandkids to fight for seconds.
Mostly, she will be remembered by them with Love. She always had an open door and loved each child the same unconditionally.
