Winnie Easton Jones was one of my long distance, multi-talented friends- a fascinating amalgam of spiritual and irreverent; confident and questioning; profound and quirky. Never knowing what she would say, you were always confident of her enthusiasm, and her willingness to network you with one of her other friends, who could help your situation. Thank you, Winnie.

Winnie was a creative kind and enthusiastic teacher at Penobscot School, Her skill and joy in teaching French pronunciation was legendary. I met Winnie at the open houses at the beginning of each semester and always appreciated her kindness and interest in myself and all she met. She took time for people and I'm sure her students will never forget her. May angels surround you, Winnie!

I met Winnie when she studied with my husband, artist Don Esley back in the 1980's. We both stayed in the B+B she and Howard had in Rockport; had many other good times with the two of them! I reconnected with them when I moved back to Camden from Portland in 2003 after Don's death. So sorry I missed the memorial service ~ didn't know about her passing until yesterday.

I stayed at Winnie"s(and Howard's) B and B while visiting from the UK. trying to find the right place to move to in the U.S - Winnie pointed me in absolutely the right direction and I have been happy in Maine every since. Thank you Winnie wishing you happiness in the world beyond.

Dear Winnie, My wonderful french mentor and friend , I only knew Winnie for about a year but she added so much to my life. I received a garbled message from her 2 days before she left us and the only thing I understood was " I love you." I shall treasure those words. The picture I posted was taken of us at the opening of our B&B . She was so delightful and engaging as always that night.

I met dear Winnie around 15 years ago when she was selling the B&B and I liked her immediately.  We met again many times at memorable Thanksgiving celebrations, lunch with friends, and as members of the Maine Women’s Network. I will always remember her loving, fun nature, creative spirit, incredible energy, and amazing intellect. We love you Winnie and think of you often.

We met in 2006, the year I moved in with Norm and Skye Hirst. Winnie was frequently in the house and participated in holiday celebrations. I remember Winnie as unfailingly encouraging and light of heart. Through her stories she conveyed the magic and wonder she perceived in life.
