Jean Theresa (Fowler) Conroy, 72, of Dracut passed away Friday, May 22, 2020 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, John T. “Jock” Conroy III.
She was born in Lowell, MA, the daughter of the late John S. and Carolyn (Allen) Fowler.
Jean was educated at Keith Hall in Lowell, graduating with the Class of 1966. She earned her Associate’s Degree in Business from Fisher Jr. College in Cambridge, and also attended the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.
For over 25 years, she was a computer programmer with the Massachusetts State Police at the Concord Barracks, from where she retired.
Jean treasured her family and was a beloved fixture at family gatherings. The room would light up when she and Jock arrived.
Jean loved to travel, including an African Safari with her sister and brother-in-law in 2017. She enjoyed excursions to her “happy place” – the casino – with her beloved mother-in-law, Mary “Mimi” Conroy, and Sarah Conroy. She also loved animals and volunteered at the MSPCA Nevins Farm.

My love and condolences to all the family. Jeannie was a beautiful person, a wonderful mother and grandmother to her children and grandchildren, and a true friend. She was kind, smart, funny, and so loved by us all. She will be sorely missed.

Love that photo of Jeannie, it’s beautiful! So many great memories from childhood, especially in summer at the lake. She was a great “pal” and we shared many happy summer days together and with other cousins,too. May she rest in peace now, but will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss to siblings and children. Love to all…

Jean and I worked together many years ago, along with Merry and Lorraine over at the state police. I have a lot of good memories from that time. It was my first job after college, and Jean was a great coworker and friend to me, always willing to have a chat, always game to sneak us all out to have a long lunch! I know how much her family and friends will miss her. She is with Jock now, and I think we can all find comfort in that. God bless her and her family.

I am so sorry for the loss of Jeannie…She was a great person and neighbor if we ever needed anything we could just run across the street, she drove us to school, watched us in the pool etc. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time

My mother Elaine Bomil Pollard of Lowell was dear friends with Jeany growing up. They met during their sophomore year at Keith Hall. They remained friends in the years to follow after mom and dad, Jay Pollard, got married and moved out of Massachusetts. Mom shared the stories of meeting Jeany and their great friendship together when my older brother and twin sister were younger. It was always nice to hear those stories. Any time we came to MA to visit my grandparents in Lowell, we stopped at George’s Subs for the great subs and of course to see Jeany. We would get together with Jeany and the family for a day during our visits. She was a very sweet lady. Your will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss.

I will never forget the great times Jean and I had at the lake.She was a ferocious card player and made
me be my best to even think about beating her! She is at peace now and I am thankful for that.

I know of Jean through Linda’s Aunt Mary and family. Jean was always mentioned in glowing terms any time we made a visit. It certainly made me wish that I had met her in person. She was very much beloved by all who knew her. I do know this is a profound loss to her family and friends. I send virtual hugs and condolences. Love, Carol

My cousin “Jock” John Conroy was much beloved for his great heart so full of love and merriment as his wife Jean was known for her kindness and thoughtfulness. They made an incredible impression on all who knew them. This is yet another terrible loss to the family! No words can mend our broken hearts but we can take comfort in the fact that this loving couple are together again and will always be with us in spirit and all our fondest memories! Hugs to all!

Jeannie will be greatly missed. She was a kind, lovely person in every way! We met in high school and had many fun experiences together at camp just hanging out together going to dances and eventually double dating with our future husbands.
Once married I moved soon thereafter. We kept in touch over the years and our talks became about the kids and family. Jay and I wish to express our great sadness and most heartfelt sympathy to
Jeannie’s children and family. May you all take comfort in your love and memories of Jeannie.
As I write this so many memories come flooding back to me. Driving through downtown Lowell in her mother’s red Firebird, working summers at Wang Labs off 495 and heading to the beach after work, a spring break trip to Allen’s place in Florida and so many more. We will miss her. We keep you all in our prayers.
With Love and Sympathy,
Jay & Elaine Bomil Pollard

Words cannot express how sorry we are for the loss of Jeannie. Both Jock & Jean were such special people and always there to help others before themselves. I will forever be grateful to them for when I was going thru Cancer treatment and I was too sick to drive. They both came all the way to my house each and every day and brought me for my treatment. Even on the day that Omer was taking me they still all showed up to surprise me at the end of treatment celebration lunch. This is just one of many things that Jock & Jean did for others. Jeannie will be missed so much. My heart goes out to the entire Conroy Family at this very sad time.
Love, Chris & Omer

Jeanie was missed before her passing! As a member of the “Truck Team” I knew my computer issues would be taken care if by making a trip to Concord. My thoughts snd prayers are with you in this difficult time.
