Jean L. Certo (née Montgomery), of Aston, passed away on October 22nd at the age of 88.  Predeceased by her husband of 55 years and love of her life, Peter R. Certo, who passed away in 2005.  Jean was also predeceased by her parents, William D. and Helen (Martin) Montgomery, her dearly loved sister, Lorraine Hafer, brothers William D. Montgomery and Robert M. Montgomery, and all the members of her husband's family.

Born in South Philadelphia on January 12, 1931, Jean graduated from John Bartram High School in 1949.  She was a devoted, loving mother who raised five children. Jean worked as an Avon lady for almost 50 years right up to the end of her life, making dozens of lifelong friends along the way.  She dedicated her life to Jehovah God and was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1998. She enjoyed sharing Bible truths with others at every opportunity.  Jean loved to laugh and cared about all of God's creatures (except squirrels)! She was fascinated by the ocean and all other bodies of water. Her family and friends knew her as a remarkable and kind woman who would do anything to help anyone at anytime! Most of all, Jean simply enjoyed people, talking and laughing until she couldn't catch her breath! Jean really loved to laugh!!

She is survived by her five children: Peter R. Certo, Jr. (Jane), Kathleen L. Centofanti, Donna J. Pierantozzi (Anthony), William D. Certo (Sharon), Lorraine H.
