Jean Marie Warwick, 101 N. 16th St., Pymatuning Township, passed away peacefully at 6:06 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, in UPMC Horizon, Greenville, after a lengthy, courageous battle with cancer. She was 78.
Mrs. Warwick was born May 6, 1930, in Sharon, a daughter of the late Frank V. and Eunice Fitzgerald Smith.
She attended Sacred Heart Parochial Grade School, was a 1948 alumna of Sharon High School, and attended Youngstown State University.
Jean retired in 1991 from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where she was a referee for 32 years for the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation.
She was a member of St. Michael's Church, Greenville, and a former member of Church of the Sacred Heart, Sharon.
Jean was extremely devoted to her family. She treasured the times she shared with her daughters and had a special place in her heart for each of her six grandchildren, who lovingly called her 'Gam.'
She looked forward to her weekly lunch with her two sisters, who brought her much joy and with whom she traveled extensively, including a trip to Ireland.
Jean was an avid reader and enjoyed shopping, USA Today crossword puzzles and going on gaming trips sponsored by St. Michael's Church, Greenville.
As the winner of the GT Mustang that St. Michael's School raffled in 2005, Jean loved driving the sporty red car she affectionately called 'Mustang Sally' and loaned it back to the school this past year in order to help with ticket sales.
She was a wonderful person who will be missed by all who knew her.
Her husband, Thomas L. Warwick, whom she married June 30, 1956, passed away May 23, 1983.
