Services set for Saturday.

 

(Anna) Jean Snitko passed away at home on Oct. 16.

She was born Jan. 18, 1918 in New York City and moved to Greenwich 37 years ago. She was a volunteer at the YWCA for many years and an active participant in events around town especially as they related to her grandchildren. Her greatest joy was her family. Her love touched all she met and she was the surrogate mother and grandmother to many. She will be greatly missed.

Jean is survived by her daughter Eileen Toretta, son–in–law Paul Toretta, six grandchildren (and spouses) and two great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her three siblings, husband, daughter , and infant grandson.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, North Street at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. Burial will be private.
