Jean C. DesRoches

It is with great sadness that the family of Jean Caroline (Giambo) DesRoches announce her passing after a brief illness, on Friday, December 20, 2019 at the age of 55 years. Jean will be remembered by her son Jacob N. DesRoches (of Haverhill, MA), her ex-husband Norman DesRoches, her brother Gerard Giambo and his wife Susan (of Woonsocket, RI), and her sister Debra Ciminello and her husband Noel (of Dartmouth, MA), along with her many nieces and nephews.

Born in Norwood, MA, Jean was the daughter of the late Frank and Lois (Daley) Giambo. She was a lifelong resident of the area.

As an Investment Advisor Representative for Santander Bank, Jean dedicated herself to her career. Her focus was assisting the elderly with their retirement needs. She excelled in her position and was well- respected throughout the community.

Jean enjoyed traveling, boating, and being by the water. She loved watching movies and was an avid fan of Jaws. Jean lived life to the fullest and would light up the room when she entered. She found joy in the simplest things and would share that joy with everyone around her. Her greatest love though was spending time with her son Jacob.
