Jean Loomis Kellerman

I think of Jean every time I reach for my Hawaii coffee mug in the morning. And, when I look out my bedroom window and see her lovely home here on Bainbridge. Hope all is well with the Kellerman men. Merry Christmas to you!

It has taken me a while to come to terms with the idea that there is no Jean in the world anymore. I am remembering her bright smile and her always upbeat spirit. She was always ready and willing to do anything, for any body. She was our neighbor here on Bainbridge Island for almost 16 years. She was so proud of her family. And you can be proud to know that her legacy lives on in you three wonderful sons and her grandkids. This saying was never truer than about Jean - she may be...

We are so grateful for the wonderful comments from Mom's friends, she is smiling down on these heartfelt comments - Thank you! Cathy Allen- what an incredible photo! We will be sure to include that one on the remembrance photo compilation planned for her celebration - Mahalo!! -Chris and the Kellerman family

What a grand lady she was. So loved by her family and grandkids. She had a great life filled with many versatile features. We only knew her through Chris, her son, being married to our daughter Kelli. She loved spending her visits with Chris´s 2 kids, Cade and Kirra. They would play a lot of cards and board games together, always challenging one another. One of her best assets was her love for cooking of which she turned into a catering business. She will truly be missed but her...

Jean was a hoot! We became great friends after meeting each other at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. She and I started our St B June birthdays luncheon, and when she moved back to Hawaii, I would call her when our other "members" got together. The last time being this 6/17. A generous living spirit who lived for her grands. She was so proud of them all. And her baby pineapple starts.

Drew, Chris and Taylor, Your mom was something special. She was so full of life, always up for a party and positive about just about everything. She was so proud of you and your families. I was a neighbor and bookclub friend on Bainbridge. I've missed her (and her cooking) since she moved back to Hawaii. I hope you like the photo. She was beautiful on the outside too! My condolences on your loss.

Jean was warm and generous and delightful in every way. I am so thankful to have known her friendship as a member of our little bookclub and as a neighbor. Her beautiful spirit is something I will always treasure.

We remember Jean as a wonderful friend who had such a positive outlook on everything. Her energy and humor and fun will be missed greatly. We have missed Jean since her move back to Hawaii and we looked forward to another visit. We have greatly missed our game nights on Bainbridge Island with Jean and her creative recipes and help whenever food was in the picture. Her spirit will linger but she will be missed deeply.
