Jean E Beleck

With deep sorrow, her family advises of the passing of Jean Ellen Von Lubken Beleck, on June 12, 2026 at age 81 from complications of Parkinson's disease. Born in the Bronx, NY, Jean is preceded in death by her parents Herman and Helen Von Lubken, ex-husband Edward, and sister Susan. Jean is survived by her sons Mark, David, and Steven; daughters-in-law Kim, Christina, and Shirley; grandchildren Mark Jr., Cameron, Christopher, Alyssa, David James, Jessica, and Daniel; and great-grandchildren Elias, Aurora, August, and Enzo. Jean was a graduate of the Maryview Hospital School of Nursing class of 1966 and earned her Bachelor of Science from St. Joseph's College. Jean dedicated her life to helping others, serving with passion and dedication as a registered nurse in New York's Eastern Suffolk BOCES program for children with disabilities. She was a bright, strong, independent, worldly, resilient woman with a deep love of family. Jean retired to Florida following her Parkinson's diagnosis in 2002. Having lived in South America and Europe in her earlier years, Jean's broad view and passion for the world's cultures lead her to travel globally by air and sea. Jean was a supporter and devotee of theater and the arts. As her eyesight failed, Jean relocated to Austin, Texas to be closer to family. She passed peacefully in Colorado Springs while visiting family. A Celebration of Life will be held in Largo, Florida at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in tribute to Jean's memory to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
