Jeanne M. Avitabile (nee Sogliuzzo), 90, a native New Yorker of Chelsea, moved to NJ when she was a child & lived most recently in Harrington Park, formerly of Tenafly and Cliffside Park. Jeanne passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Beloved wife of the late Dominick. Loving mother of Lisa Knowles and her husband Rick and Gina Hansen and her husband Eric. Proud grandmother of Dominick (Rachel), Nicolette, Celia and Audrey.
Predeceased by five sisters; Sylvia Iulo (Bob), Assunta Sogliuzzo, Carmella Galasso (Augie), Claire Zakar and Maryann Artuso (Phil). She was also the cherished aunt of many nieces and nephews.
Jeanne was an administrative assistant for the Bergen County Board of Social Services for many years. She was an active parishioner of Our Lady of Victories RC Church, Harrington Park and was also a Rosarian. She was a devoted wife, mommy, grandmother (Sheesh), aunt and friend. Nothing mattered more to her than her family and harmony amongst us. A diehard Sinatra fan who could also do play by play for the Yankees.

This is so very sad. I was making plans with Jeanne and another friend to have lunch at the Northvale Diner like we always did.
Jeanne was a person with a heart of gold. Never saying a word against anyone and always having a kind word to say about everyone. I will miss our lunches and our wonderful “old time” talks. Her husband Domenic was the salt of the earth and loved Jeanne more than anything. A wonderful family and a person that will be surely missed. RIP dear friend I know that you and Domenic are dancing on the clouds. Her Sunday meals and fun in the pool will never be forgotten.
Love you Phyllis. She was a true mommy in every sense of the word. She loved her time with you and Kay and always, always had such fun with you both.

Jean was a Rosarían of Our Lady Of Victories in Harrington Park, NJ. She was so happy when she was inducted into our Rosary Society. She faithfully attended the daily 12 Noon Mass. We miss her sweet face. May she rest in peace, amen. Lorraine Petrone, President of the Rosary Society.
Jeanne was so dearly loved by all her neighbors in Brookside Village where she lived.
I being a new neighbor got to know her from noon Mass and events at the Center and Club 60 where we spent time together.
Her sweet smile I will miss
She will be remembered fondly.
She had a wonderful life and a peaceful death.RIP
