I am wondering if anyone knew Carol Ann Jessen. I think she was in the class of 1966 and she has died. The obituary in the St. Louis Post Dispatch only says she died July 28. She was a wonderful artist, spending much of her time on the coast of Maine painting. She was a good friend of our classmate Jane Via and Jane tried to reach her not too long ago, no answer to her phone, and now it's been disconnected. The obituary lists no contacts other than her deceased parents. If anyone has any information about her, please let me know. Thanks! I just have googled around since I posted and found the last entry in her beautiful blog. What wonderful watercolors she produced. Check it out at http://caroljessen.blogspot.com/. Wonder which art teacher she had a KHS?? Carol was a fairly shy girl as I remember, but I know she and Jane have stayed in touch over the years. May she rest in peace.

Hi - I came across your post while looking for info on a memorial that was going to be planned for this summer for her which I didn't find. She was my teacher at Mcluer North, and several of our former teachers kept me in the loop about how she was doing. Depending on what information you need I may be able to find it or to connect you to a teacher who knows.
ReplyDeleteBecky, please email me at leslie at khs65 dot com. I posted this because one of Carol's very good friends lost contact with her not long before Carol Died and she wanted more information. We would like to know more about the circumstances of her last month and any one we can communicate with ...THANK you so very much for your post! Leslie Richards
