Jeanine Marie (Riette) Beaton, 84, of Wrentham, MA passed away on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the Alliance Health at Maples in Wrentham, MA peacefully following a period of declining health. She was the beloved wife of Joseph Francis Beaton to whom she was married on December 28, 1963.

Raised and educated in her native community of Brookline, she was a graduate of St. Aidan's High School and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in French education from Emmanuel College in Boston, MA.

She was proud of her French heritage and celebrated it with the French language, culture and cuisine.

Remembered for her grace and elegance and love for entertaining, she was like a "Martha Stewart" serving her family and friends as a creative hostess and always saying "Bon Appetiteveryone" before every meal regardless of what was being served.

She will lovingly be remembered for her love for reading, her knowledge and love of current events and her fondness for gardening.

Prior to moving to Wrentham a few years ago, she and her husband resided in North Attleboro, Mansfield and Norton, MA.

An ardent traveler, she and her husband enjoyed traveling extensively throughout the United States with Galveston, Texasand the National Parks being favorites and international travelwith, of course, France as a special place to visit.

Some of her favorite pastimes included time with her feline companions and going to Horseneck Beach in Westport, MA.

However, her truest happiness came from creating lifelong memories to cherish with her beloved family, especially her grandchildren.

In addition to her husband of almost 62 years, she leaves her daughter: Susanne A. Warrener and Robert E. Lee of Providence, RI; a son: Douglas R. Beaton and his wife, Amy K. Beaton, of Hampton Beach, NH; her cherished grandchildren to whom she was known as "Kiki": Justin A. Warrener and his wife, Katrina Warrener; Andrew J. Warrener and his fiancé, Victoria Blessing and Annabelle Beaton; her niece: Jeanine Reed and several extended family members and friends.
