Jean Landerman Chodosh

Jean Landerman Chodosh passed away December 14, 2015 in Corpus Christi, Texas surrounded by her loving family and devoted caregiver, Diane. Jean was absolutely lovely at 99 and born June 10, 1916 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to the late Benjamin and Bella Greenspan Landerman. She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband, Dr. Phillip Richard Chodosh, and her siblings Molly Lipstein, Jack Landerman, and Miriam Blonsky.

Jean adored her sons and loved the atmosphere of big family gatherings. She loved to tell stories of her life and had the love of so many always ready to listen. Jean leaves these wonderful memories to be cherished by her family; son, Dr. Thomas Chodosh and wife, Pat; and son, Robert Chodosh of Leland, NC.; grandchildren, Dionne Chodosh of Austin, TX; Lisa Perez and husband, Sev; Judith Pina and husband, Albert; Amanda Rauenhorst and husband, Dave of Meridian, MS; Jessica Clements and husband, Ross of Greenville, SC; and Mathew Chodosh and wife, Melissa of San Antonio, TX.; great-grandchildren, Tyler Chodosh; Julea and Jake Pina; Lindsay, Allison, and Emily Rauenhorst; Isabella Perez; Aurora and Hugh Clements; and Arielle, Joshua, and Adyline Chodosh. Jean is also survived by many nieces and nephews whom loved and endeared their Aunt Jeanie. Her life and longtime friendships in New Jersey remained very happy memories for her.

Jean lived life with a positive attitude, amazing resilience, and a loving gentle heart, which kept beating long after she had taken her last breath. The last two years, Jean’s life was graced by her private caregivers whose joy was only to make every aspect of her life an enjoyable and beautiful experience for her. Our family is grateful to the professional devoted care of Diane Martinez, and her excellent team: Sam, Ariana, Esther, Leslie, Miriam, Helen and Carolyn.

A private family memorial service is planned.
