Jean Warner

Jean Warner, a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, passed away at the age of 91 on March 25, 2024, in Tampa, FL. Born on December 8, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Mary and Salvatore Cascino, Jean's vibrant spirit and loving nature touched many lives.

After graduating from high school, Jean held various administrative positions at MetLife, Pfizer, Suffolk County Community College, and the Suffolk County Pollution Control Center, culminating in her retirement from NY State Government service.

Jean’s life was beautifully intertwined with that of her late husband, George Warner. Together for 53 years, they built a life filled with love and laughter until George's passing in 2010. Throughout their lives they traveled extensively across North America, Europe, the Caribbean and Central America.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her three children and their spouses - Linda & Bill, Steve & Lesa, and Joyce & Dave; her grandchildren and their spouses - Michele & Aaron, Jeff, Tom & Devan, Emily & Mac, Ben, Alex & Emma, and Josh; her great grandchildren - Ellie, Noah, Zach, Jack, and Wes; and her brother, Mike. Each of them will hold onto the warmth and joy she brought into their lives.

Jean's exuberance was contagious. An avid sports fan, she transitioned from cheering for the Brooklyn Dodgers to rooting for the NY Mets and Miami Marlins, and most recently, the Miami Heat. Her spirited commentary during games will be fondly remembered.

Her talents extended into the kitchen, where she was a fabulous cook, passing down treasured family recipes. Those who knew her always spoke of her light-heartedness, kindness, and ever-present good spirits. Her patience, grace, non-judgmental nature, and fantastic sense of humor are treasured as part of her memory.

Jean's laughter, love, and joy for life will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
