family on March 11, 2024. She is survived by her husband, Frank, who rarely left his high school sweetheart’s side during their 52 years of marriage. Jean is also survived by her son, Robert and daughter in-law Christy Blanchette and her two grandchildren, Jay and Val.
Jean was born on February 2, 1952 in Nyack, NY, the only child of Michael and Jean Lupardo. Jean met Frank while working together at Acme Light in Congers and married soon thereafter. Jean was the matriarch of the family, raising her son, and supporting her husband’s career. Jean was, affectionately, ‘The Boss’ of the family. In their younger years, Jean and Frank spent weekends hiking in Bear Mountain or tinkering on their cars including a beloved 1962 Corvette and a 1969 Pontiac GTO. Jean enjoyed gardening and had a green thumb and could make almost any plant do her bidding. Often playing records, she instilled in her son a love of Alice Cooper, Kiss and Jimi Hendrix. At home, Jean was always seen with a cat on her lap including Aslan who stayed at her side in her final days.
There will not be a public viewing.
Donations in Jean’s memory can be made to United Hospice of Rockland.
