Jane Huntington Weiner 1917- 2012
Jane Huntington Weiner, Betsy's oldest sister and surviving sibling, died, lucid to the end, in Massachusetts yesterday. She was born in 1917 in Anwei, China, raised (by strangest coincidence) with Libby's mother Patty Lucas Adam, eventually came to the states, attended Radcliffe, and survived an adventurous youth to become a serene mother and gardener and lifelong vegetarian who somehow managed to enjoy her carnivorous relatives without criticism, and even compliment one of our hounds. She leaves many Weiner descendants and Huntington relatives. I hope to post more pix and stories as they come in; I need to find the one of Jane and Patty sharing a baby carriage in Anwei. She has been to the Spur (in 1986)-- it is in Querencia- the- book.

Wow, I am so sorry but what a life she lived! Wow I didn't realize she was older than Mom! Lots of memories for you...
R.I.P. Jane.
I was reading her a paper on early days in China 3 days before she died. That active mind was busy until the end. I would appreciate knowing more about Jane's earlier days, between coming here from China and the 70's when I met her. El Spinney at elspin@comcast.net

Steve, thanks for posting about my mother. She was very fond of you & asked me a couple of years ago to "find" you. You'd not been in touch I guess. She admired your adventurous spirit, & your commitment to writing to nature.
She was lucid right up to the end. It was all quite sudden even though she was 94. I've never seen anyone go so peacefully. I guess she was ready.
