Not sure what to say?

I was Jean's downstairs neighbor at the Zocalo for eleven years. She will truly be missed and remembered. She loved her family and friends so very much.

It was always a pleasure to spend time with Jean. I knew her first through a book club a number of years ago and then through our walking group. I took her to lunch after her daughter died - sadly we shared that reality. It was fun to visit with her about the fact that we shared the same birth years and dates of high school graduations. I will miss her.

Hello, I am a friend of Jean's from Santa Fe who has been living in Mexico for several months. I did not know of her death. If you could please let me know when her Memorial service will be, I would appreciate it. I treasured my friendship with Jean; we had wonderful excursions and conversations together; and she taught me about iPhone photography. and I'm very sorry she is no longer with us. My sincere condolences to her family.

Dear Carolyn and Steve, I somehow had a sense that your dear sister, Jean had died recently. I hope it was peaceful in the end. She fought hard since her diagnosis and was a model of cancer survivorship. I saw her on my last trip to Santa Fe which was two years ago during the heart of Covid. We talked off and on mostly about sports and especially golf. I admired her passion for sports and she followed the University of Arizona ever since her daughter went there. She loved meeting you...

I worked with Jean in the 80's at Mckinley Middle School. I have nothing but good memories of her. God Bless you Jean . Gone but not forgotten.

Jean lived a beautiful life and was a gift to her friends. I remember sharing walks with her at Glow Club, being in spin classes with her, learning technology from her and welcoming her graceful, upbeat presence. It always made my day better to see Jean! May she rest in peace.

I am very sorry to hear of Jean's passing. She was an encouraging friend, always interested in what I was doing and how my life was going. I enjoyed seeing her iPhone photography and iPad creations. I will miss her company and our chats in our walking group. ~Dorothy W.

We knew Jean at different times in our lives. Tony met Jean when she was involved in the UNM running community. Barbara taught at McKinley when Jean taught there in the 80s. We then moved to CA. Last time we saw Jean was at Haaland's funeral. Tony & Barbara Sandoval
