I just received this information about Jeanne Horsey's passing: 

 

Jeanne Horsey passed away earlier this week. A memorial for her is being
held tomorrow, Sunday Feb. 26 at University House on Stoneway in Seattle. It
is at 2:00, open to the public with a reception following.

 

Many of you on this list knew her. She taught me braille. I was the only one
interested at that time, so she gave me private lessons. I remember fondly
the weekly sessions at her dining room table while her husband prepared his
late breakfast in the adjoining kitchen. For my first lesson she put a
Perkins brailler and braille transcribing instruction manual in front of me
and told me to make a row of the letter a, then b,  etc. Jeanne was largely
responsible for getting braille textbooks in the Seattle public schools.
