Jeanne D. Rivenbark
(nee DiGiacomo) On April 19, 2026, of Sicklerville. Age 65. Beloved wife of Lonnie. Devoted mother of Lauren Rivenbark and Andrew Rivenbark (Hannah). Loving grandmother of Kayleigh. Cherished daughter of Dolores (nee Streibig) and the late Dr. Oscare DiGiacomo. Dear sister of Donna Patchett (Ed), Patrick DiGiacomo, Philip DiGiacomo, and Tina DiGiacomo. Loved by nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Jeanne was born in California on Hamilton Air Force base where her father was stationed. When she was just a few months old, her family moved to Pennsylvania after he left the Air Force. She was the eldest of five children. She attended Merion Mercy Academy and later went on to La Salle University, where she earned a degree in Communications.
It was during her college years that she met Lonnie through a mutual friend who had invited him to a party. Lonnie, completely smitten, spent much of that first night following her around, waiting for the perfect moment to ask her out—but she said no. At the next party they attended together, he asked again, and this time she said yes. From that moment on, the rest was history. They were married about four years later and eventually settled in South Jersey, where they built their life together and raised their children.
Jeanne was a devoted mother to Andrew and Lauren. Later in life, Andrew moved to Georgia with his wife Hannah, giving her the opportunity to visit and enjoy new adventures with them there. Lauren remained local, allowing Jeanne to be closely involved in the life of her beloved granddaughter, Kayleigh.
She cherished every moment spent with Kayleigh, especially watching her develop a love for figure skating. Jeanne helped spark that passion early on—bringing her to work at the Flyers Training Center, watching Flyers practices, and of course watching the games. She took immense pride in watching Kayleigh grow and perfect her skills, and she was always there to support her at competitions and annual ice shows.
Although she earned a degree in Communications, Jeanne’s true passion was working with people. Over the years, she served as a daycare director, retail manager, and front desk professional in physical therapy offices. Most recently, she worked as the front desk liaison at the Flyers Training Center, where she had the opportunity to meet many current and former players, as well as members of the media team. No matter where she worked, she was known for her warmth, kindness, and ability to make everyone feel welcome.
She had a deep love for music and especially enjoyed listening to Straight No Chaser, Michael Bublé, Billy Joel, and Frank Sinatra, among many others. She loved attending concerts whenever she could, always excited to see her favorite artists perform live.
One of Jeanne’s favorite shows was Blue Bloods. She would watch it any time it came on tv, no matter how many times she saw the episode. She even went to see different areas where the show was filmed. Her love for the show went as far as having the theme song as her ringtone and entrance song to Andrew and Hannah’s wedding.
Jeanne was also a passionate sports fan, especially devoted to the Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia Phillies. She also enjoyed following the Carolina Hurricanes, particularly during the years coached by her favorite former player, Rod Brind’Amour. She loved the excitement of attending hockey games, but she was just as happy relaxing at home watching baseball on television.
She found great joy in spending time down the shore in Ocean City, where she preferred relaxing on the porch or walking the boardwalk rather than sitting on the beach, simply enjoying the moment and the company of her family.
Her love of Christmas knew no season. She watched holiday movies and listened to Christmas music all year long, despite Lonnie’s familiar reminder that there should be “no Christmas until after Thanksgiving”—a rule she happily ignored.
Jeanne also loved cooking and baking, always trying new dinner ideas and experimenting with different cookie recipes. She enjoyed bringing fresh creations to family gatherings and holiday cookie swaps, sharing both her food and her joy with those around her.
Above all, Jeanne was deeply family oriented. She was always finding ways to support and cheer on the people she loved, celebrating their accomplishments and encouraging them through every stage of life. She put others before herself and willingly set aside her own wants to make sure those around her felt cared for, supported, and loved.
She will be remembered for her warmth, her generosity, her sense of humor, and the way she made everyone feel like they belonged.
Family and friends are welcome to attend her visitation Sunday, April 26th 1:00 – 3:00 PM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral service 3:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jeanne’s memory may be made to the National Kidney Foundation.
