Jeanne E. D'Acquisto

Today we mourn the loss, but celebrate the wonderful life of the most compassionate, loving, wise, religiously devout, and caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, daughter, cousin, niece, aunt, and friend that we have ever known; Jeanne Elisabeth Brown DiMartino D’Acquisto.

She is now at peace with her mother, Marie Ward Brown, her father Glenn Brown Senior, and her brother Glenn Brown Jr. She also now stands beside two of the luckiest souls to ever have the privilege of calling her “my loving wife”: Nacy Patrick DiMartino, and Andrew Anthony D’Acquisto.

Jeanne was born April 27th, 1938 and grew up in Freeport, Long Island, New York. A graduate of the State University of New York College at Geneseo, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in teaching, and when not taking on the dutiful task of raising seven children in Penfield, NY, she unselfishly touched the lives and hearts of countless children at Gateway Nursery School, Fairport, NY from the mid 1970’s through the early 1990’s. Jeanne devoted her life to her family and Jesus Christ, and at the time of her passing was a pious devotee of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi, Mount Read Blvd., Rochester.

She is survived by her three brothers: world renowned engineer, Roger Brown, world-famous jazz musician, Steve Brown, and world-famous big band conductor, Ray Brown. Jeanne’s legacy will be forever remembered by her seven surviving wonderfully talented, and tremendously successful children: Donna St Denny (husband James), David D’Acquisto (wife Kimberly), Margaret Kreiss (husband Jeff), Michael D’Acquisto, Joseph D’Acquisto (wife Estelle), James D’Acquisto (wife Tracy), and Michele Eaton (husband John). Her adoring family tree also branches further to 17 grandchildren, and 8 (soon to be 11) great grandchildren, all of whom will always love her unconditionally, and will miss her dearly.

God bless your soul, Jeanne D’Acquisto. May you rest in peace forever in our Lord’s Kingdom. Thank you for all you have done for us and for always being there to comfort and guide us, especially during the most pivotal and crucial moments of our lives. You molded us, and made us who we are! We are forever blessed to have known you! We love you and miss you Mom!
