Mrs. Rademacher was born, raised and educated in Buffalo, NY. She worked for many years as a feature writer and eventually, retired as the People Editor of The Citizen in Auburn NY. It was a career Jean was perfectly suited for; she was a great speller and she loved to talk to people and hear their stories. After retirement, Jean moved to Seneca Falls, NY and was an active community volunteer, working with the Seneca Falls Library, Seneca County Children’s Committee and the United Way of Seneca County.

Jean loved to play cards and will be missed at many bridge tables both in NY and NC. She loved her large family, gardens, laughter, all dogs, books and a glass of wine.

Her family would like to thank Jean’s extended family at Carillon Assisted Living, Dr. Ryan Tighe, and Dr. James McCriskin, the doctors, nurses and staff at Novant Health Center and especially, Dr. Rebecca Summerlin, the nurses and staff at SECU Hospice House of Brunswick for their loving care of our mother.

Mrs. Rademacher will be buried next to her husband at a private service in Auburn, NY at the convenience of the family.
