Jean Mayes Memorial

Jean was an active member of the Santa Fe dance community in its early years and served on the dance committee. 

Please see the message below for information about a memorial meeting (with a potluck following) on June 22nd.

Message to Friends of the Santa Fe Monthly Meeting:

Jean Mayes moved to Santa Fe in 1989 and was the resident Friend for Santa Fe Monthly Meeting for three years.  She was a Friend who enjoyed singing and dancing.  She ate plenty of organic fruits and vegetables to give herself health and strength as she lived with breast cancer.  A few years ago, Jeannie and her husband, Rich, moved to Costa Rica, with annual visits to friends and relatives in the states.  On Monday, May 27th, Jeannie died peacefully in her sleep.  Her husband, daughter, and son would like to invite Friends for a memorial meeting to be held in the garden of our meetinghouse on Canyon Road, June 22nd, 4 PM.  Jeannie's family would like to share a Quaker potluck following the meeting for worship with the intention to celebrate Jeannie's life.  At seven o'clock, all are invited to the Odd Fellows Hall on Cerrillos Road to honor Jeannie at the contradance.  (Jeannie and Rich met at a contradance.)  Come to dance or to simply enjoy the Celtic music.  Please hold Rich, Heather, and Mickey in the Light.  Thank you.

Wilson Family Update

Richard Wilson has taken a turn for the worse. The family would appreciate your prayers and very brief visits during the next few days. Cards are welcome. Send them to Karolyn and Richard Wilson, PO Box 317, Glorieta, NM.

News from the Wilson Family

Karolyn Wilson sends the following update about Richard's medical condition. The Wilsons would welcome emotional and financial support.

The results of the radiation were not what we had hoped. ... We will not be pursuing any treatment or getting any further scans at this time. ... Richard will be taking a short road trip with our daughter and her family up to visit his mother. Then we will see what the rest of the summer brings.

Checks to help offset the cost of materials to stabilize their mobile home can be sent in Karolyn Wilson's name to Wyn Lewis, 214 Sereno Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87501.
