Jeanne Sali
Jeanne (Chaput) Sali, 90, of North Grosvenordale, CT, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, June 13, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
She was the beloved wife of James Sali, whom she married at St. Joseph’s Church in North Grosvenordale on January 19, 1957.
Born in North Grosvenordale, CT, to the late Theodore and Wilhemina (Valade) Chaput, Jeanne attended St. Joseph’s High School and attended Annhurst College. She was the proud mother of Kathryn, Margaret (Sam), John and Nancy (Jim). She was the meme to four grandchildren: Lara, Gen, Haley and Jenna. She was always available to watch her grandchildren when they were young. She was involved in the St. Joseph’s PTO and worked in the school cafeteria. She volunteered as a Lassie League Coach and held many town organizational meetings at her home. She filed many tax returns both professionally and personally. She was a miraculous record keeper! In her spare time, Jeanne enjoyed crossword puzzles and researching family genealogy.
She was co-owner of Jeans Wearhouse, a retail establishment on the Webster/Dudley line. She was there every day, working behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. Jeanne had a quiet presence and a calm demeanor that made everyone feel comfortable and accepted.
The family would like to extend our sincere thanks to the DKH Hospice Staff, in addition to our two invaluable caregivers, Sheila and Pauline.
