D. Jean Tufarolo, 80

November 12, 2017

D. Jean Tufarolo, 80, of Lititz, passed away surrounded by her family, on Sunday November 12, 2017. She was the daughter of the late Ada (Sipe) and Gordon Plowman.
Jean worked at Lancaster General Hospital, retired from the Postal Service as Postmaster of Elm, PA., and later loved working as a Baker at Julius Sturgis in Lititz.

She was courageous, loving, compassionate and selfless, and lived every day with passion. She traveled often with friends and family anywhere she could find adventure, including Big Sur, England, Mexico, and her favorite spot at Caledonia State Park. She loved exploring Lititz, extra-long beach walks, animals, cooking and collecting recipes — but most of all, Jean loved her family. She will forever be remembered for her delightful spirit and unwavering enthusiasm for life.
Jean is survived by her sons: Michael Tufarolo (Kris) of Pottstown and Kevin Tufarolo (Christina) of Mount Joy; her Grandchildren: Elijah, Kevin, Jessica, Allen, Ashley, Alex, Nick and Maggie; Great-granddaughter, Allyanna; her sister Marian Roach of York and nephews: Chris, Tim and Dusty Roach.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her grandson Jacob; her siblings: Francis, Laverne and Harold Plowman; and her nephew Stephen Plowman.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a celebration of Jean’s life at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543 on Friday, November 17, 2017 at 12PM. The family will receive guests from 11AM¬—12PM at Snyder’s. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family.

This evening I decided to call my dear friend Jean. It looks like I was over two years late. Jean and I work together at the Lancaster post office we went to the shore together I will always remember when she bent over in the ocean just to get wet and the waves took her glasses out to sea. I hold a dear memory of Jean in my heart forever. All my love to her entire family.

My dear, dear friend of 45 years, I will surely miss you, but will remember our great times together. You got your wings too early and left too soon, but I hope you are now pain free and dancing in heaven. We will really miss you and loved you dearly.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Jean was a wonderful lady that I had the pleasure of knowing because she lived next door to my mother. I remember Jean as always being so happy go lucky and upbeat. Something we should all aspire to be like!  My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family at this sad time. Donna Hahn (daughter of Helen Smith).
