I haven't seen Jean for some time (since she moved out of Montecito) and I am so sad to learn of her passing. I did massage for Jean whenever she was at her Birnam Wood home. I Always loved to be with her!! She had a beautiful & contagious spirit and I always considered her a friend, not just a client. Reading her obituary, I learned that she went to Rosemary Hall. I never knew this. I grew up in Greenwich, across the street from Rosemary Hall. It's such a small world sometimes.
Dear Jean, I hope you are resting in peace with your loved ones and still wearing your colorful scarves that I always admired! With much love, Diane xoxo

I'm so sad to hear this news. It was a real treat to meet Jean when she visited my mother, Sandy Keiser, in 2017 in Dallas for Sandy's 90th birthday celebration. Sandy was a classmate at Rosemary Hall. It was so heartwarming that Jean had kept in touch for 70 years. Jean was vibrant, enthusiastic and told great stories.

To Family of Jean Brown,
I knew Jean since 1971 when I was part of the care team for her beautiful daughter, Loren. I have many special memories of time spent with Jean before and after Loren's death. We corresponded (and called one another) these many years...such an interesting, intelligent and great friend. My deepest condolences to her family.
John H. Heiligenstein, M.D.
