Jean Roeder Marron, a beloved resident of Hackettstown, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2024. She was born in East Orange, New Jersey and spent her formative years in the beautiful surroundings of lake Mohawk, New Jersey.

Jean began her profession career at Bell Telephone where she made valuable contributions and established lasting friendships. However, her life took and exciting turn when she met and married the love of her life, Jules “Dewey” Marron, in 1948. Together they embarked on a journey filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams.

Jean’s unwavering support and dedication were evident in her role as Dewey’s guiding light throughout his college years at Rutgers University.

Jean went on to attain her bookkeeping degree.

As a devoted mother, Jean poured her heart and soul in raising her three children. Her love knew no boundaries and she cherished every moment spent with her daughter Kathleen, of Tomah, Wisconsin, and her sons, David and Patrice of Blairstown, New Jersey and Michael and Jane of Stanhope, New Jersey. Jean’s nurturing nature and unwavering presence provided a solid foundation for her children’s lives.

Jean’s love for her family extended beyond her immediate household. She was a caring grandmother to her grandchildren, great grand and great-great grandchildren showering them with affection and support. Her legacy of love and devotion will continue to guide them throughout their lives.

Jean Marron will forever be remembered for her kindness, grace, and unwavering commitment to her family. Her selflessness and unconditional love touched the hearts of all who knew her.
