Jane Shapiro

This is from fellow PAM docent Kathy Willson: Truely Saddened by this news. Such a kind and pleasant person and so stylish. A joy to talk with on those docent Monday mornings. She was a gamer and one of the first to do a PAM artwork reinactment. (see photo) My heart goes out to her family and friends.

I was a fellow docent at the Portland Art Museum with Jane. I currently send out emails to a group of us called Art Explorers, many of whom are former docents, regarding tours and sometimes news. Many Art Explorers responded to me about the news about Jane and I'd like to share them with you: What a gentle soul she was. So sorry about Jane. She was a very special person and will be greatly missed. How impressive. She was a star for sure. We will miss Jane. So sad she's gone. Really love...

Goodness...it is hard to believe Jane was 80 and very sad to hear of her passing. I so enjoyed her quiet but joyful demeanor at the Art Museum

I knew Jane as a fellow docent. She was a lovely soul. I appreciated the picture of her with her granddaughter . One of my favorite memories of her is the day I was driving around Ladd's Addition. I spotted Jane pushing a stroller with that much-loved little girl. Jane looked SO happy. Whenever I think of Jane, that image pops into my head and I smile. What a pleasure to have known her.

I remember you as a fellow docent at PAM. What a lovely legacy you have left behind! May you rest in peace.

She will be missed. My condolences to the family.
