Jeanne M. Martin, 81, of Hopkinton passed away on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at St. Patrick’s Manor in Framingham after a long battle with dementia.  Born in Worcester, she was the daughter of Nina (Hamilton) and Edmund Christian of Westborough.  She was the wife of 64 years to Joseph A. Martin.

In addition to raising her family, Jeanne had many jobs but some of her most memorable were her years serving as a school nurse at Keefe Tech Regional High School, and waitressing at the Sticky Wicket Pub where she made many friends.  She was an avid pet owner, always having dogs or cats in her home. More than anything else, Jeanne loved all the babies she has held over the years.  She also loved reading, swimming in her pool and watching the birds come to her feeders.  Jeanne was a wonderful cook and served many Sunday dinners and holiday meals to her entire family over the years.
