Jeanette M. Volinski

Jeanette M. Volinski, 88, of Greenport, passed away peacefully Oct. 28, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. A lifelong member of the Greenport community, she will be remembered for her kindness, quiet strength, devotion to her family, and the many lives she touched throughout the years.

Born on June 21, 1938, in Norwich, England, her parents were Frederick G. Funston and Antoinette (Rodi) Funston. Jeanette built a life centered on love, family, and hard work. In 1958, she married her beloved husband, Antone Frank Volinski Jr., and together they shared more than sixty years of marriage. Their union was blessed with three sons Antone, Russell and Darryl, who remained a source of great pride and joy throughout her life.

Jeanette worked alongside her husband at the Long Island Oyster Factory in East Marion and later dedicated 24 years of service as a certified nurse’s aide at San Simeon on the Sound nursing home. Through her work and daily life, she demonstrated compassion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.

Jeanette was an avid yard saler and bingo player but above all, she delighted in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished for generations. Her warmth, generosity, and steadfast support were gifts she freely shared with everyone around her.

Jeanette is survived by her sons Antone (Debbie) Volinski, Russell Volinski, and Darryl (Kelley) Volinski; her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many loving relatives and friends.

She was predeceased by her husband, Antone Frank Volinski Jr., who passed away on March 25, 2020.

Jeanette’s greatest legacy was the love she shared with her family and friends. Her gentle spirit, caring heart, and unwavering devotion to those she loved will never be forgotten. Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
