Jeanne Elise Pear

Jeanne Elise Pear, born on August 13, 1944, and aged 80, of Easton, PA, formerly of Erwinna, PA, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2025.

Born in the Bronx, New York, Elise built a fulfilling career with Trans World Airlines as a Reservation Agent and Rate Analyst. Her work reflected her love of travel and connecting people across distances.

Elise was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Kenneth Pear, who passed away on September 4, 2005. She is survived by her son Keith Lazarus and his wife, Sherry Johnson, of Roy Bridge, Scotland; her granddaughter Erin Lazarus of Lymington, England; her brother, Robert Greenberg of Fort Lauderdale, FL; her sister Laura Krein and her husband Jeffrey of Revere, PA; her niece Deborah Korins Strohman and her husband Ed of New Hope, PA; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of of whom brought her happiness. Elise was also preceded in death by her sister, Linda Greenberg Korins, her nephew Kenneth Korins, and her parents, Sid Greenberg and Marian Arrs Greenberg.

Those who knew Elise will remember her passion for live music and her devotion to her family. She was an avid traveler throughout her life, even traveling across the U.S. by motorcycle with her husband, and visiting relatives in Israel. She most recently returned from a fun, music-filled trip to Scotland to visit her son and granddaughter. Elise was also a loving dog owner, sharing her life with many beloved companions over the years, including Peppermint, Mocha, Izzie, and Roodie.

Elise's warm spirit, kindness, and joy for life will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A celebration of Elise's life will be held in July, with an exact date and location to be determined.

Donations in Elise's memory can be made to the Last Chance Ranch Animal Rescue in Quakertown, PA.
