Jean Ann Hefferon

Jean Ann Hefferon

Jean Ann (nee McTeigue), 81, formerly of Maplewood, NJ,

passed away on July 31, 2012 in Southern California after a brief illness.

All her children were at her bedside.

She was the loving wife of the late Vincent G. (Jerry) Hefferon, Sr.,

who worked as a police detective for the city of Newark, NJ.

She is survived by her sister, Helen Hamilton;

her children Daniel (Carol), Joseph, Vincent (Jerry), Jr., (Liz),

and Kathleen Lindeman (Dave), her seven

grand-children, Kaitlin, Allison, Matthew, Megan,

Dawson, Devlin and Jackson; and one great-grandchild,

Lucius. She worked as a court clerk at the Essex County

Court House for 25 years until her retirement, and then moved to

Canyon Lake, CA in December 1999.

Jean was a generous and faithful friend

and neighbor, and was loved by all who knew her.

She was always crocheting an afghan for someone or making counted

cross-stitch treasures for family and friends and was a

tremendously talented crafter. She was an avid reader

and book “gifter”. Her grandchildren were her pride and

joy, and she never stopped singing their praises. Her love for them

literally knew no bounds.
