\t\t\tJean Marie Fiorelli Apice \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Jean Marie Fiorelli Apice, 89, of Jessup, PA passed away peacefully on Friday, December 12, 2025, at AdventHealth Parker Hospital, Centennial Colorado surrounded by her loving family. She was the devoted wife of the late Joseph Michael Apice, a cherished mother and grandmother, and affectionately known as The Gigi by her great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n
\nJean was born to Thomas and Erma (Cossa) Fiorelli, and was lovingly raised by Dora (Baldinucci) Fiorelli, who played a central role in her upbringing. She was a proud graduate of Jessup High School, Class of 1954.<\/p>\n
\nAt the age of 17, Jean moved to Manhattan, where she lived with her Aunt Helen, Uncle Joe, and Cousin Petra, beginning an exciting new chapter while working in the city. It was there that a quick courtship blossomed into a lifelong love, leading to her marriage to Joe on November 3, 1957. Together, they built a beautiful life on Long Island and raised three children: Joseph Michael, Dino Thomas, and Doriann.<\/p>\n
\nJean was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband of 48 years, Joe; her son, Dino; her sister, Elaine; and her brother, Thomas.<\/p>\n
\nShe will be deeply missed by her son, Joseph Michael Apice II of Centennial, Colorado; her daughter, Doriann Apice of Washington, D.C.; her grandchildren: Joseph Michael Apice III of Portland, Oregon; Dean Thomas Apice of Centennial, Colorado; and Jena Nikole Haettich and her husband, John, of Health, Texas; and her treasured great-grandchildren: Joshua, Meghan, Anthony, Noami, and Enjoli. Jean is also survived by her sisters Ruth Lefchak of Jessup, Margaret Bolick and husband, Leon, of Blakely, Doreen Fiorelli of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; sister-in-law Katie Fiorelli (wife of the late Thomas Fiorelli Jr.), along with many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.<\/p>\n
\nJean\u2019s love language was caring for others and bringing joy to those around her. She expressed this most often through her incredible cooking and generous hosting, always making everyone feel welcome. She took great pride in honoring her Italian and Irish heritage, preserving traditions that created lasting memories for the people she loved.<\/p>\n
\nA life-long learner and explorer, Jean embraced life with curiosity and courage. She traveled enthusiastically, immersing herself in new cultures and places. She was fascinated by history, science, the criminal mind, and murder mysteries, and was well-read across many genres. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she delighted in sharing her passions with anyone who showed interest. In her later years, Jean became an accomplished sketch artist and painter and enjoyed crocheting accessories for her children and great-grandchildren \u2013 treasured keepsakes they now wear in loving memory of her.<\/p>\n
\nFuneral services and internment at St. John\u2019s Cemetery, Jessup will be held in the spring at the discretion of the family.<\/p>\n
\nThe family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and nurses at AdventHealth Parker and invites those who wish to honor Jean\u2019s life to consider a donation to the American Heart Association.<\/p>\n
\nLocal arrangements are under the care of the Arthur A. Albini Funeral Home, 103 Church St., Jessup.<\/p>\n
