…formerly of Malden and Jamaica Plain; 77
REVERE - Jeanette L. Spellman, age 77, passed away Tuesday evening, December 11, at the Wakefield Care Center, surrounded by her beloved family, following a lengthy period of declining health.
She was born in Boston, March 25, 1935, the daughter of the late Charles and Helena (Schwartz) Eastwine. She was raised in Roxbury and Jamaica Plain where she lived most of her life. She later moved to Malden, and retired Revere ten years ago.
She was well known in Jamaica Plain and Malden as an Avon Products Representative, but would be best described as having devoted her life to her family.
She leaves a son and daughter-in-law, Robert W. Spellman and his wife Gail (Goldstein) of Atkinson, NH; her daughter, companion, and best friend, Mary A. Spellman with whom she resided in Revere; a beloved and devoted grandson, Thomas Bernard Spellman of Atkinson; a brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Margaret Eastwine of Jamaica Plain; along with many members of her extended family, whom she affectionately referred to and treated as daughters, sons, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Prayers were offered Saturday at December 15, in the funeral home. Memorials to the Alzheimer’s Association, 480 Pleasant St., Watertown, MA 02472.
