Born in Waterbury on February 11, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Endee and Blanche (LeDuc) Bellemare. She was a lifelong resident of Wolcott. She worked as a Nurses Aid at the former Cedar Lane Convalescent home. Jean was a wonderful mother and enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She also enjoyed trips to the casino, playing bingo, crocheting, driving around to see Christmas lights and snuggling up and watching Hallmark movies. Jean took great pride in being the "checkers champion" against her grandchildren and son. She always took great care of everyone and was a second mother to many. Just as she wished, she was surrounded by her family and loved ones in her last few months.
