Jean H. Bojes

I used to get a message from Jean Harrison here and there who was the church organist and choir director for awhile at Fourth Congregational Church in Chicago. In checking her Facebook page today, I was sad to learn she passed away. On a personal note, she was always so supportive and complimentary to my late mom, and although my mother was mostly self-taught and didn´t have the professional credentials of Jean, she always treated her like an equal and they had many piano and organ duets together at church. While my mother wasn´t trained as an organist, Jean gave her the confidence and privilege to fill in for Jean when she was on vacation. Rest in Peace Jean.

I was a colleague of Jean's at Concordia University Chicago. We happily crossed paths so many times as she headed to a rehearsal or music class. I was in the art gallery installing art or heading to teach my art classes. I fondly recall her humor, laughter and dedication to music and her students. I am saddened by her untimely passing. I send my deepest sympathy to her husband and family. She made a difference and will be missed. I know her love of music and spirit will live on in her many many students.

May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending condolences and prayers to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed and touched the lives of so many.

Jean will be making music with God.
Bless her.
