Dear Jean, you and Barry remain vivid in loving memory, and the work that you lovingly undertook is being carried on by loving spirits each and every day.

We still miss you, Jean, but your memory lives on brightly. You made Santa Barbara and the world a better place.

Jean, anyone who has had the privilege of knowing you will forever remember you as an extraordinary human being, somebody who truly made the world a better place. We miss you and Barry.

I am seeing you clearly in my mind's eye, dear Jean, and Barry too, as we prepare to observe the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the environmental movement which you and your wonderful family have done so much to sustain over the years. I am grateful to have been and continue to be in love with you.

Hi Mom,

Thinking about you today, a year after you moved on to the next part of your journey. I'm so very grateful for all that you gave to me and others, and for all you the grace and light you brought to the world. Hope you're having a lot of fun wherever you are!

Love always,
Kate

The year has passed quickly and you and Barry have missed another crisis affecting all of us. We'll surely miss both your caring hands in dealing with this new virus. Wish you were both still here. R.I.P.

Thinking of the Schuyler family today -- wish I could be there with you. As has been well said by others, Jean was a strong proponent of the greater good in Santa Barbara, as well a very gracious host with Barry of many social events. It is wonderful that their legacy lives on in their children and grandchildren, as well as in the community that they loved and supported these many years.

P.S. -- great to see all of the photos, thanks!

I loved both Jean and Barry, and I experienced their love for me in ways great and small over the years through their encouragement and support of my efforts to serve. I am deeply grateful for my friendship with their children whom I have gotten to know and love too. To them I offer my deepest condolences and loving prayers.
Since the passing of my own mother in 1979, I secretly adopted Jean-- little by little at first and then fully in time-- as my substitute mom. I told her this when I visited her in the hospital those several years ago, and we gently renewed that connection each time that we visited with each other thereafter at her home or around town.
While I will be away from town for the ceremonies on June 30, I will be present in spirit to join with the family and friends of this truly wonderful being, Jean Kellogg Schuyler, to celebrate the grace and beauty of her life.

To say that Jean was a special person is utterly inadequate, but I don't know how better to say it. There are some people who truly make the world a better place, and Jean and Barry both were among them. We will miss Jean, but we also know that she lives on in the deep and wide legacy she left through her wisdom, caring, and generosity.

I met Jean when I first came to Santa Barbara 10 years ago, and I clearly remember feeling that if she was representative of the leadership of this community I had landed in the right place. And by leadership I mean a person who is selfless, giving, discerning, kind, not interested in accolades, and is motivated by empathy. Jean was all those things and more. We miss her of course, but we are comforted by the many positive legacies she left, perhaps the most important one being that she was an example of what it means to live a gracious and meaningful life.

Jean and Barry...together again. RIP

Diana and I are at a loss to find the words to express our sincere gratitude for having Jean and Barry enter our lives. Chance brought us together, an experience for which we are forever grateful. Jean's kind, thoughtful, and caring spirit continues to be an influence on us. Though geographical distance separated us for the past fifteen years we never felt far apart. We are the better for having known her.

Jean was a gift to our community. Her guidance and generosity to so many organizations touched untold lives. Her gentle way, her wisdom, her commitment to everything which with she became involved are (and should be!) legendary in our town. To her family, thank you for sharing the blessing of your mother/mother-in-law/grandmother. She will, indeed, be forever missed by those of us who were privileged to know and work with her.

Jean, a lady of grace, courage and character. She and Barry walk softly with us eternally....sharing her motto, inspired by her example. Thank you to all of her remarkable and loving family for giving her joy and added years of presence. Ride on into the universe, sweet lady. With gratitude for her friendship and participation, Bill and Sheridah Gerard

It was such a blessing to sing for Jean over the last few years. I'll treasure that time forever

My condolences to the family of Jean Kellogg Schuyler on your loss of a wonderful mother. I, too, will miss my dear friend Jean for a very long time. She & I shared the love of horses together. I took care of her horse(s) when she had business elsewhere. She could always be confident that they were in competent hands. I lived with her and Barry and the horses for two years and they made my life away from my own family bearable. I will forever love my days at UCSB simply because Jean gave me a great home and the encouragement to finish the job. RIP Jean....and give my regards to my good friend Barry.

Jean supported so many diverse organizations with such generosity, many of which we belong to. She really made a difference and lived her motto to the fullest. We will miss her presence at events at the Maritime Museum where we would often see her. We send our love and support to Jean’s entire family - especially Peter (whom we have known since he was a child). Shane and Genny Anderson

Jean was a board member at Planned Parenthood when I was hired in 1987. We both loved the mission and together developed a passion for raising funds. Jean was my mentor. She taught me how to approach the Pierre Claeyssens of the community to support a cause. She became my hero. Always humble. Forever generous. Beautiful in every way. I love you, Jean.

My condolences to the Schuyler/Kellogg family on your loss. Jean was classmate and good friend of my mother, Nancy Bevan Ward and so kind to my grandmother, Muriel Bevan when she was in Santa Barbara.

Jean was a pillar in our community. A true force of nature. May her spirit live on.

The gift of Jean will stay with me always. She inspired dedication, honesty and most of all humor in all I do. We shared so many of the same passions and her drive over these past ten years encouraged all of us. We were honored when she showed up at all the plays and Salons for Ensemble Theater because we know she continued to do just what she wanted to do. I loved her one hand clapping with Melissa. Being surrounded by her loving family and caregivers brought comfort to all of us.
We will continue to ask: What would Jean do?
With love
Sybil Rosen

Jean - You were always the epitome of grace, wisdom, and generosity. Thank you for thinking of others and putting the community first. We are all better because of you. You will always be remembered.

Jean was a guardian angel for so many individuals and organizations throughout her life. She now joins Barry watching over and guiding all of us for eternity. Her tireless effort, support, leadership, and generosity were instrumental in making our community what it is today. We are forever grateful, Jean, for everything you did, and thank you Schuyler and Kellogg families for sharing her with all of us.
