Jeannine (Irvin) Ferrante

Jeannine (Irvin) Ferrante, age 69, of Apollo passed away peacefully on November 25, 2025. Born January 11, 1956 in Camden, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Arthur Monroe Irvin Sr. and Jeannine (Smith) Irvin Earley, and the wife of 50 wonderful years to Michael Joseph Ferrante. Jeannine worked as an Executive Assistant with the Gift of Life Donor Program in Philadelphia, a role she took great pride in. She had a lifelong love for her Shih Tzus, having owned and cared for them since the early 1980s. Her beloved Snickers passed away recently, and she now leaves behind Romeo and Juliet, whose companionship brought her tremendous joy. The loyalty and unconditional love her dogs gave her filled her heart with happiness.
