Lane H.S. in Brooklyn, where she met the love of her life, John Everts, who she married in 1951;  they were married for 45 years until he passed away. Jean spent her career working for the NYC Board of Education. She loved her job, through which she helped teachers & students alike.

Jean loved her life, and her family was always her number one priority. Jean is beloved Mother to John Everts, Joyce & Paul Milione, Maria & Michael La Fiura, and Anthony & Valerie Everts; beloved Grandmother to Christine La Fiura Beim, Charles La Fiura, Christopher Milione, Cara Milione, and A.J. Everts & Allison Everts; and beloved GG (Great Grandmother) to Leah, Natalie & Celia.

Jean was a talented cook. She did most of her cooking in a humble galley kitchen on Staten Island, but she was fond of saying that many a huge meal came from that tiny kitchen. Over the course of her life, she perfected her famous spaghetti & meatballs and eggplant parmesan, scores of family members tried to replicate these dishes, but no one succeeded at cooking them quite like her.

Jean was also a long-time parishioner of St. Patrick’s Church on Staten Island, NY, where her lifelong love of music led her to sing in the choir. Upon her passing, she was a member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church in Doylestown, PA.

Should family & friends desire, Memorial contributions may be sent to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
