Jean Cauthorn

I just now learned of Jean´s death. I´m so sorry I didn´t get to see her in her last few years. We were volunteers together on the CSD Advisory Board. From there we became friends and enjoyed many lunches together. She was indefatigable as an advocate for children and her mother and as a political activist. Jean enriched my life. I´m lucky to have known her. RIP

I lived with Jean's mother, Florence, as a student of Reed College from 1996-1998. In that time, I came to know Jean (Jeannie) who arranged for the care of her mother with immense empathy and sensitivity to her mother's needs. In that time, Jeannie became like a second mother to me. We spoke almost daily about Florence and life (her phone number in Portland is still one I know by heart!). Jeannie and Dick would take me (at that time a young starving student) out to restaurants and music...

My Mom, Ruth Davidson died a year ago. She and Jean would have long phone conversations. They met on the CRB and became close friends, sharing confidences and giggling a lot. It is a beautiful obituary.

The Husband Family have shared many happy times and now memories with JJean Dick and family. You guys had a wonderful Mom. Lynn Husband

Lori-I´m so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. What a wonderful woman and full life she lead! I remember meeting both your parents many many years ago at some party probably at their houseboat and we were either still in nursing school or had just graduated. It´s a foggy memory, but I do remember how gracious and welcoming your parents were. I know this is a difficult time and I hope all the fond memories of your mom bring you comfort in the days and months ahead. My condolences, Caren Chvatal
