Jean M. Bergeron's Obituary
Jean M. (Campiola) Bergeron, 82 of Methuen, passed away peacefully at home on June 9, 2023. She was the beloved wife of the late Roger Bergeron.
Jean was born in Lawrence on March 4, 1941. She was the daughter of the late Pietro and Adrianna (Loffredo) Campiola. In 1958, she graduated from Lawrence High School and went on to receive an Associates Degree in Nursing from Northern Essex Community College.
Jean will be remembered as a devoted lifelong caregiver to her family, friends, and in her profession. She worked with the children at St. Ann’s Home in Methuen, and as a nurse for Mary Immaculate Nursing Home in Lawrence and Nevins Nursing Home in Methuen until her retirement.
Jean’s family was everything to her, and she dedicated her free time to cooking, instilling tradition, and creating memorable events for those she loved. In her retirement, Jean spent time weekly with her lifelong friends and occasionally catching up with her group of girlfriends from high school--the Crystals.
Jean will be deeply missed by her three children, Paul Bergeron, and his wife, Senada, of Boston, Peter Bergeron and his wife, Michelle, of Haverhill, and Danielle Fitzgerald and her husband, Geoffrey, of Hopkinton, NH; 8 grandchildren, Nicholas and William Bergeron, Samuel, Alexander, and Daniel Bergeron, and Amelia, Garrett, and Anthony Fitzgerald; as well as many nieces, nephews, and beloved life-long friends. In addition to her husband and parents, she is predeceased by brothers Nicholas, Pasquale, Castro, and sisters Ann DeMonaco, Palma Diodati, Rita Feole, and Angie O’Leary.
Family and friends will honor and celebrate Jean’s life by gathering for her calling hours from 4 – 8 PM on Friday, June 16, 2023 at the Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home, 233 Lawrence Street, Methuen. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM on Saturday at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 115 Wheeler Road, Dracut. Burial will follow at Elmwood Cemetery in Methuen.
