She was dearly known as “Jean” by her friends and “Mom-Mom” by her family. She and her loving husband Charlie moved to Fairfield Glade from Chicago, IL, in 1996. She will always be remembered for her big heart, her generosity, and her love of her friends and family. Although her immediate family lived in Dallas and Boston, she kept them close to her heart through her many phone calls. She was always available night or day for a friend or family member who needed her guidance or support. Jean lost a daughter, Jackie Guandolo, in 2003, the pain of that loss stayed with her until her death.

Mom-Mom will be sadly missed by her husband Charlie, her daughter Gina Perimian of Boston, MA, and her grandchildren Jamie and Joey Guandolo of Dallas, TX and Matt Perimian of Boston, MA.

The family has respectfully asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Fairfield Glade Volunteer Fire Department or the Fairfield Glade Community Club.

Hood Funeral Home and Crematory, LLC (www.hoodfuneralhome.com) was in charge of the arrangements.
