On April 15, 2020, Jean Kleiner, 87, passed away peacefully with family by her side after a long struggle with dementia.

Born in Altoona, PA, she spent most of her adult life here in Vineland. She worked for many years at the Vineland Developmental Center and after retirement, worked alongside her children at Dondero's Jewelry.

Jean loved the flowers and springtime blossoms in her garden and around Vineland. Jean loved the beach, and had a passion for travel. She had unforgettable journeys with her children, grandchildren, and her special travel companion, Betty Dondero. Most of all, Jean loved her family. Her favorite time was Christmas afternoon when her entire family gathered together.

Jean is survived by her son Kevin Kleiner (Miriam) and daughter Julie Dondero (Ken), grandchildren Lindsey Mauriello (Fred), Bridget Tracy (John), Matthew (Jennie), Jesse and Brian Dondero, and great-grandchildren Leonardo and Luciana Mauriello and Isla, Luna and Vera Tracy.
