Jean Chase, 87 of Bristol, passed away late in the evening of June 26, 2025.  Born on November 15, 1937, she was the daughter of the late Tilson and Sylvia (Rice) Eugley.

Jean delivered the U.S. Mail during the summer, made beautiful quilts, and made tons of donuts and pies.  She was a great cook.  Jean loved a good family gathering and would cook all day the day before - always including her famous orange lemonade.  She loved taking a ride, especially when it included an ice cream sundae.

She married Norman L. Chase on July 16, 1954.  Together they raised five children.

She is survived by three daughters, Deborah Gilbert and husband Tim, Tammy Chase, and Jo-Anne Blomquist and husband Paul; sister, Jane Longe; sister-in-law, Barbara Chase; and daughter-in-law, Terry Chase.  She had ten grandchildren: Clinton, Nicholas, Amanda, Tara, Joshua, Carrie, Danielle, Sylviann, Rebekah and Angela; 14 great-grandchildren: Keaton, Maisy, Jackson, Parker, Logan, Carter, Avery, Lincoln, Ashlynn, Audrey, Ava, Lily, Thomas and Carter; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Norman; sons, Norman Jr. and Stephen; daughter-in-law, Janet; sister, Evelyn Winslow; brother-in-law, Ronald; brother-in-law, J. Kendall Longe, Jr.; and mother and father-in-law, Virginia and Norman Chase.

Her family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Chase Point for the wonderful care she received there.

A private graveside service will be held for her family in the Bristol Mills Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local animal shelter in her name.
