Jean graduated from Gloucester High School in 1986 and received a nursing degree from Endicott College in 1997. She married Lawrence B. Marcantonio in 1988. They lived together in Gloucester until 2004 when they moved to Tarpon Springs. Jean worked as a Registered Nurse for the Pinellas County schools. She was a compassionate pediatric nurse. She made many great friends along the way and loved every minute of her work.

Jean loved spending time making beautiful memories with her family. Her pride and joy was being the best Lita (grandmother) to her three grandchildren whom she adored. Outside of spending time with her family and her work, Jean enjoyed gardening, painting rocks and traveling.
