Obituary
JEAN FLORENCE ( SERVITTO, O’MEARA ) AILSHIE, age 94, passed away surrounded by her loving family on February 17, 2022 in Palm Coast, Florida. Jean was born on August 28, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan to the late Victor and Rose (Bell) Servitto.
Jean married Donald Edward O’Meara on October 21, 1950, and together they celebrated the arrival of three children: Gloria (Dennis) Gaucher, Ronald O’Meara, Daniel (Victoria) O’Meara. After becoming a widow, Jean met and fell in love with Roger Ailshie. They married on August 16, 1974, and enjoyed 47 years together. She happily welcomed into the family three stepchildren: Roger Allen (Jennifer) Ailshie, Cindy (Steve) Eckersley, Kevin Ailshie. Together Jean and Roger joyously welcomed the addition of six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Jean’s first love was her family. She also enjoyed travelling with her husband, together they visited 47 of the 50 United States. Wherever she went, she easily made friends with her outgoing and fun-loving personality. Music, knitting and games of chance were also some of her favorite past-times.
In addition to her immediate family, Jean is survived by sisters Marian Servitto and Rosemarie Tedesco, siblings in law: Thomas (Judy) O’Meara, Geraldine O’Meara, Irene O’Meara, Patricia (Adam) Kowalski, Johnna Ailshie and Joycelyn Schilling, along with many dearly loved nieces and nephews.
Jean was preceded in death by her brothers Edward (Katherine) Servitto, Raymond Servitto, Frank Cefali, and Victor (Patricia) Servitto, as well as siblings in law: Phil Schilling, Dale Ailshie, Antonio Tedesco, Daniel (Mel) O’Meara, Norbert O’Meara, Gerald (Betty) O’Meara, James O’Meara, Edward O’Meara, Noreen (Gerry) Loper.
