Jeanne Fadness With profound sadness, we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Jeanne Demanty Fadness, who left us peacefully at the age of 96. Jeanne was born on December 11, 1927, in Martinez, California, to Linda Perazzo and Dominic (Tony) Demanty, and was raised in Lindsay, California, where her father served as the town's fire chief. Surrounded by the love and comfort of her family, she passed away in the early hours of September 30, 2024. Jeanne was the cherished matriarch of our family, survived by her brother, David Demanty, her three devoted children, Carol Capriotti, Patti Grace, and Craig Demanty. She was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren—Lindsey, Courtney, Austin, Kahli, and Jordan—and a loving great-grandmother to Bella, Kennedy, Baylee, Eleanor, and Parker. A source of unwavering love and wisdom, Jeanne taught us invaluable lessons about the importance of family, the power of forgiveness, and the joy of laughter. Her spirit was brightened by her infectious smile, and her warmth was felt by everyone who knew her. She often reminded us to “watch out for the crazies” and to “never drive faster than your guardian angels can fly.” Jeanne lived a life full of warmth, joy, and generosity. She adored spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, especially during their cherished puzzle-solving sessions. She was always the first to lend a helping hand to family or friends in need, and she had a sweet tooth that often led to late-night enjoyment of ice cream. Jeanne had a special tradition with her grandkids, sharing breakfast for dinner, a memory we will always hold dear. Her creativity shone through in her beautifully crafted scrapbooks and the handmade holiday stockings she lovingly created for every member of the family. We will forever cherish the countless memories we shared together, from joyful family gatherings to quiet, tender moments filled with love. Her legacy of unconditional love and kindness will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, dear Mom aka Grams & GiGi. We love you more than words can express. You will be deeply missed and always remembered. Private services will be held per family request.
