Jean Mary Rounds

What to say about such a special and talented friend and fellow educator?! I met Jean when my father was the principal at Pasadena school and I was starting a performing arts group there. We worked together for MANY MANY years with our two children's performing groups, Showstoppers and Highlights and it was such a joy to spend countless hours singing with her and what came to total thousand of children over the years. Most summers we worked together at performing arts summer programs and all...

I also remember taking naps on our towels and getting stars on our foreheads for being good. After rereading her obituary I do remember playing with tambourines, wooden sticks and maracas. Very friendly good teacher. Loved her

Mrs Rounds was a great kindergarten teacher. I also remember her as Mrs. del Gado.?? She taught myself, brother and possibly my younger brothers and sister. Pasadena was a great school. I´m sorry to hear of her passing. I´m sure she´ll be missed. Sincerely, Robin Christensen 1974

Mrs. Rounds was my kindergarten teacher and one of my favorite and most impactful "grown ups" of my youth! (And my grandparents sang with her in the Sacramento Chorale.) I so fondly remember her singsong voice (for even when she simply spoke, it was musical) and her fluttering eyelashes whenever she was being coy. ;) She was a wonderful human and I send my deepest condolences to her family.

Oh dear Jeannie! How fortunate were we to have you in our lives. The best Kinder teacher for both our daughters (Pasadena School) to give them such a positive beginning to their school experience. Working in your classroom was a joy. Years later I had the privilege of working as secretary at Ottomon and there you were-as the Kinder teacher. We became good friends. Bette and I visited your home post retirement in Tucson; you were an incredible hostess. Tour guide, laughs, food-you missed...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
