Jeannette M. (Chuckran) Shalginewicz

Jeannette M. (Chuckran) Shalginewicz, 73, formerly of East Bridgewater for over 30 years, passed away at home in Wareham surrounded by her loving family under hospice care. She was a native of Brockton, a daughter of the late Beverly and Anthony Salamone and the late Samuel Chuckran. She graduated from Brockton High School in 1969. Jeannette worked as a urology assistant at a Brockton medical office for over 30 years. In 1981 Jeannette married Chet Shalginewicz and together they raised their 3 sons in Brockton and East Bridgewater. Jeannette was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle rider and enthusiast and worked at Monty’s in West Bridgewater in her spare time. She enjoyed traveling and especially liked Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in recent years.

When Chet suddenly passed at home in 2009 life changed for Jeannette and their sons Dwight, Dwayne, and Kevin.  They created an annual memorial motorcycle run to benefit East Bridgewater High School students with scholarships.

Jeannette was an unforgettable person, and to know her was to love her. She spoke the truth, always did the right thing, and lived by the Golden Rule. Jeannette loved unconditionally, had a great sense of humor, and didn’t have time to fear the future. In spite of many health challenges through the years her indomitable spirit kept her living and loving everyone without judgment.

 Wherever she went she made friends and her door was always open. She enjoyed cooking and no one would be hungry when Jeannette was on the scene. Jeannette fed family and friends at home and even delivered lunches to everyone at work.
