In Loving Memory of Jean Krueger Lauderdale

River Edge, New Jersey — Suwanee, Georgia

With heavy hearts, Angie Heitzer and family announce the passing of their beloved mother-by-choice, Mrs. Jean Krueger Lauderdale, who died peacefully after a courageous battle with Atypical Parkinson’s Dementia (Corticobasal Degeneration). Jean’s death leaves a profound void in the lives of those who cherished her, yet her legacy of love, grace, and devotion will endure forever.

Jean was born and raised in River Edge, New Jersey, where she attended River Dell Regional High School. She later pursued higher education at Alfred University, studying Ceramic Engineering, a reflection of her curiosity and determination. Her professional career included serving as a Business Analyst at ING Group, where she was admired for her intelligence, diligence, and ability to bring clarity and care to her work. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Jean’s life was defined by her relationships and her unwavering kindness. She lived in Suwanee, Georgia, alongside her devoted husband, Stanley Green, with whom she shared a partnership built on love, respect, and faith. For nearly 40 years, Jean chose her family daily, embracing Angie Heitzer and loved ones as her own children and grandchildren. Her commitment to family was her greatest gift, and her unconditional love became the foundation upon which generations will continue to stand.

Jean was a woman of style, patience, and grace. She carried herself with quiet strength and a gentle spirit, always offering compassion and understanding to those around her. Her presence was a source of comfort, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her. A memorial service will be held the weekend after Thanksgiving, with details forthcoming. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Peachtree Christian Health, in Jean’s name, to honor the care and support they provided during her illness.

Jean’s death is a heartbreaking loss, but her life remains a testament to love, resilience, and faith. She will be remembered not only for the roles she held but for the countless ways she touched lives with her kindness and devotion.

RIP Mrs. Jean Krueger Lauderdale (1945–2025)
A graceful soul, forever loved and remembered.
