Jean Maggrett Obituary
Jean Steubing Maggrett passed away on May 10, 2019, at the age of 90. An artist and long-time Sonoma County resident, Jean practiced Aikido for more than 30 years and was the first woman to sit on the testing board for Aikido of Petaluma.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jean studied Abstract Expressionism under Hans Hofmann and helped organize the famous 9th Street Art Exhibition, which launched the careers of Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and many others.
She will be mourned by her children, grandchildren, nephews and many friends.

Jean was a role model and mentor for me in Aikido 45 years ago and has always remained strong in my memory. Now that I see she passed on my birthday last year, I know our connection will continue to continue.

I'm so sorry that Jean has passed. She was an amazing force of nature! I send my condolences to her family. I'm very glad I got to meet Jean in Alpine Valley, and I'm glad to say that she will finally be getting recognition for the part she played in American Art History, by helping to organize the Ninth Street Art Exhibition, in a show this coming fall at the Katoneh Art Museum, in Katoneh, NY. Bless you, Jean!
