Jeannette Garofalo

May 6, 1951 - March 29, 2020

Jeannette Ann Flock Garofalo, a resident of Yorktown Heights, NY, passed away on March 29th, 2020, at the age of 68. Jeannette, who was born on May 6th, 1951, was the beloved daughter of Dorothy and Harry Flock (both deceased). She spent her adolescence in the Bronx where she attended Saint Frances of Rome Elementary School and Aquinas High School. After living on Long Island for several years, Jeannette relocated to Yorktown Heights, NY, with her two young daughters where she spent the remainder of her life lovingly raising them while working full time at Kirkwood Insurance Company for over thirty years. Jeannette is the beloved mother of Jeanmarie Sjulander (Peter) and Lori Anne Garofalo (Kerrith Bajjo). She is survived by her amazing daughters and beautiful grandsons - Joseph, Kyle, Jayden and Shawn. Jeannette is also survived by her brother George Flock (Linda), sister Barbara Flock-Mangione (Stephen) and brother Harry Flock. Also mourning her loss and celebrating her life are her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and friends. Jeannette will be remembered as a strong, independent woman who endured many trials during her life always rising above them all. She never lost her ability to laugh nor her strength and resilience. Her daughters and grandsons were her greatest joys in life and the time she spent with them brought her immense happiness and love. A private Memorial Service celebrating Jeannette’s life will be held on October 17th at Yorktown Funeral Home for family and close friends only due to health and NY regulations regarding the current pandemic. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association in Jeannette’s memory (1-800-342-2383) or ADA, P.O. Box 15829, Arlington, VA 22215.
