Family seeks help with funeral expenses for private duty nurse who served at DV

Milford. Jeanne Roskoski worked as a private duty nurse for five years, helping a student at Delaware Valley Elementary School. She died on Monday, Nov. 29, at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale. She was 63.

Dr. John Bell, superintendent of the Delaware Valley School District, said in an email: “We were very sorry to hear of her passing over Thanksgiving break. Even though she wasn’t a DV employee, many of our staff and students knew Jeanne because she had been working in this capacity for several years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.”

Sources close to the nurse and the student say Roskoski died of Covid.
