Jeane H. Angelet

Born in Brooklyn, NY to Philip Agaton and Elisabet Mateo-Velazquez, Jeane came into this world with a fire she never once put out. Her early life was complicated, confusing, and hard in ways most people never knew — and she carried that, was shaped by it, did her best to not let it cloud the good. She worked hard all of her life and earned everything she had.

She was complicated — the kind of woman who could be hard to love and impossible not to. She was fiercely loyal, wildly funny, and capable of a love so big it honestly made no sense to people on the outside. Especially the love she had for her husband, Alexander. They married on May 22, 1982, and what they had defied easy explanation — even to the people closest to them. Even when no one else understood it. No one did, really. But it was theirs, and it was real, and it lasted.

In her later years, Jeane found peace in smaller things — her dogs, her backyard, the world just outside her door. She loved music and photography. She loved her friends. She loved her grandchildren in a way that softened her, finally, in places she’d kept locked for years.

She was a mother who tried — really tried — even when trying looked different than what you expected. She leaves behind her mother, Elisabet; her husband, Alexander; her daughters Liana, Lauren, Alexis, Devin, and Zujen; her sister Louise; and her grandchildren Brianna, Alexander, Olivia, Logan, Maddox, Delilah, Skye, Adonis, and Jenae.

Mean Jeane was one of a kind. And we won’t see another one like her.
