Jean McLaren Henry passed away peacefully on July 18, 2005 in Bellevue at age 92. Jean was born on a Hood River Oregon in 1912. In 1916 her family moved to Mercer Island. She commuted to Seattle on the Steamer Dawn and the Yesler cable car to attend Garfield High School, graduating in l930. In l934 Jean married Jack Henry (died l997) and moved to Bainbridge Is. As a roving reporter for the Bainbridge Review, she also wrote about Japanese families sent from the island to internment camps during WW II. In l947 the Henrys moved to Bellevue, where they lived 50 years of their 63 years of marriage. Jean attended the UW studying botany, literature and poetry. By the 70's Jean became a noted artist winning many awards at art shows. She was an active member of Women Painters of WA until l997. She loved gardening, and was an active member of the Arboretum Foundation. Her zest for life included activities of hiking, horseback riding, and canoeing with Jack to remote Indian villages off Vancouver Is. Sweet-natured and sociable, she reached out to people of all cultures with a deep and abiding love of life and learning. Jean is survived by daughters Jeannie Chauhan & Elizabeth Henry; grandchildren Manu & Jannat Gargi, Matthew Jeffcott; and great-grandsons Milo & August Pepper. Remembrances are suggested to the Arboretum Foundation 206-325-4510 and the Alzheimer's Assoc. 206-363-5500.
