My oldest sister Jeanne Russo was a wonderful mother to Paul Arthur,  Rosemary and Lisa.  She was grandmother to six children, and 8 great grandchildren.  Jean was married the third time to 
Russ Russo about 30 yrs.  
Jean loved to crochet scarves, towel sets and beautiful afghans which she gave away to relatives and friends.
Jean was a model and actress for quite a while besides raising her three children.
Jean was my best friend and storyteller at bedtime.  She would get tired of reading the Three Bears to me so she started enhancing the story with her own renditions.  I didn't like that and would tell her to stick to the original story.  Jean got into trouble quite often with Mom as she was a little too creative sometimes trying to find things that would interest the twins and I.  I am sure she is going to stir up trouble in heaven.
Jean will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
