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.
