Clifton Park -

Jean F. Sommers, 72, passed away Wednesday, January 31, 2024 with her loving husband by her side. Jean was the daughter of the late John and Elizabeth Fealey. Jean was the devoted wife to Daniel E. Sommers. They were married for 37 years.

Jean earned a Bachelor Degree in education from SUNY Plattsburgh and held a Masters Degree in Special Education from Russell Sage.

Prior to her retirement, Jean worked for the State of New York as an education assistant and later as acting Secretary to the Board of Public Accountancy.
Jean and Dan spent many years on Cape Cod. They built their second home in the "Fingers" in West Dennis, MA. Jean loved boating on "Sommerset," relaxing on the deck, entertaining friends, whale watching and enjoying fun times as a member of the West Dennis Yacht Club. Jean and Dan had several seasonal rental properties with Jean doing the rental. They did a number of real estate projects on the Cape including rehabs, condo conversions, motel rehab and new construction. Jean was a Director of Sommerset Real Estate Investment Corp., with many projects on the Cape and the greater Albany New area.

Family and friends fondly remember Jean doing her hilarious routine as "palm reader" Madam Gardenia!
