Jeanette Favilla

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Jeanette Favilla, a cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Jeanette left this world peacefully on April 22, 2026, at the age of 50, surrounded by the people she loved most. Her journey began in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on June 26, 1975, as the beloved daughter of Marion and Geraldine Brower. Jeanette's life was marked by her quick wit, independent spirit, and an abundantly caring heart that touched everyone she met. She cherished her role as a devoted wife to Andrew Favilla, with whom she shared 25 years of marriage and partnership. Together they built a life centered around family and community, co-owning Favilla's New York Pizza for over 15 years—a testament to their shared commitment and hard work. Her legacy is beautifully carried on through her children, Daniel Navaroli, Joseph Favilla, Annette Favilla and Brianna Favilla, who were the pride and joy of her life. Jeanette was a proud graduate of Jupiter Community High School, where she began to cultivate the qualities that would define her throughout her life. Her sense of humor and compassionate nature endeared her to many. In addition to her immediate family, Jeanette is survived by her sister Lori Rice and brother-in-law Edward, her nephews Patrick Rice and Alexander Rice, as well as her nieces Kathrine Woodrig and Samantha Rice. Jeanette loved her friends deeply. She was a mother figure to many over the years, especially to Edward Liotta, Malik Moore and Brittan Huckabay. Carolyn Damis and Theresa Hollifield were both life long friends that stood by her side through all of her joys and challenges. The family is deeply grateful to the Solace Center for the exceptional care and comfort provided to Jeanette in her final days. Their kindness allowed her to spend her remaining time with dignity and peace, surrounded by love. A service to celebrate Jeanette's life will be held on May 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, located at 768 Asbury Road, Candler, NC. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a remarkable woman whose spirit will forever remain in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jeanette's memory to a charity of your choice. As we say goodbye to Jeanette, let us celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the countless lives she touched along the way. Her spirit will continue to inspire us, reminding us of the power of love, laughter, and kindness.
