Jean T. (Page) Antonelli, 87, of Somerville, passed away peacefully on November 20th, 2025. Born and raised in Boston, Jean built a life defined by love and hard work. An award-winning Avon saleswoman for many years, she had a natural gift for connecting with people. Jean told it like it was, never shying away from honesty, yet she had an effortless ability to make friends wherever she went. Her warmth, humor, and straightforward charm left lasting impressions on all who knew her. Jean loved oil painting, crafting and crocheting, finding joy in creating things with her hands and gifting them to those she loved. Her home was always filled with handmade treasures.

Jean is survived by her beloved husband, John Antonelli, her three sons: John Jr., Mark, and William, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a great-great grandson. She is also survived by her sister, Janice Hamilton. Jean was preceded in death by her parents William and Gina (Ripamonti) Page, her brother Ronald Page, and by her eldest son, Dennis, whom she carried in her heart every day. Jean’s legacy lives on in the family she adored and in the countless lives she touched with her kindness and candor.
