Jean Baucco

It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Jean Baucco, age 90, on July 7th. Beloved wife of Eugene (deceased), Jean was the devoted mother of Alan (Marybeth), Victor (Julia), Donna Owen (Richard), Diane Gravino (Dr. Nick Gravino), Paul (Rachel), cherished grandmother of Anthony (Amy), Kathryn Honeck (Chris), AJ (Rachel), Joseph (Ashley), Daniel Baucco (Katie), Megan (Seana), Michael (Meredith), Matthew, Daniel Owen, Vince (Grace), Joseph (Briana), Gabriella, Jacob and Madison, adoring great-grandmother of Gwen Baucco, James Honeck, Stella Honeck, Geno Honeck, Charlotte Pickering, Anthony Baucco, Josephina Baucco, Dominic Baucco, Jackson Gravino, Mia Gravino and Marco Gravino. She was the daughter of Alfonso and Irma Ferritto, sister of Orlando (deceased), Clementine DiFranco (deceased), Victor (deceased), and Dr. George Ferritto.

Jean was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, comare, neighbor and friend to so many, and her caring and energy touched all that knew her. To her, family was the most important part of her life. After the sudden loss of her loving husband over 30 years ago, Jean filled her life with new exciting adventures. She travelled the world, from Europe to Asia to Africa as well as much of the U.S. She encouraged her children and grandchildren to travel to learn and appreciate how others lived and the wonders of our world. As life slowed down, she became an avid reader. Above all, she treasured the company of her family and her friends, whose conversations, laughter and shared memories added so much richness to her life.
