Obituary of Jeanette Gokey

Jeanette Gokey, 56 years old, passed away at home with her family by her side on April 8th, 2020 in Stony Point, New York. Jeanette was born on November 29th, 1963 in Suffern, New York to Vincent and Joyce Quattrocchi. Jeanette married Michael Gokey on October 22nd, 1993.

Jeanette is survived by her husband Michael, her father Vincent, her stepmother Nadya, her mother-in-law Catherine, her brothers Vincent and Kevin, her children Alexandra, Nicholas and Christian, her son-in-law David, her grandchildren Isabella and Lily, and her many friends and family who have helped us through her difficult battle with cancer.

Jeanette was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, and remained dedicated to her work and in her will to fight her illness. Jeanette remained brave, fearless and strong in her fight, even throughout her final months. Jeanette’s lifelong passion as a cosmetologist at Shear Magique hair studio created many lasting friendships with coworkers and clients. Jeanette loved watching New York Rangers games, relaxing on the beach, drawing, and spending time with friends and family. Jeanette’s favorite saying was "IT IS WHAT IT IS."

Jeanette’s final request was to be cremated. Thank you to all her family and friends for their endless love, support and prayers during this difficult time. The family would also like to thank Father Madden for his spiritual blessings, T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Home for arrangements, United Hospice of Rockland for their support, as well as Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital for their continued care and encouragement throughout her journey. The family will be having a memorial mass for Jeanette at St. Peters Church in Haverstraw, New York at a later date.
