On July 7, 2014, UUSGU and Grafton Community lost a shining star when Jen White passed away unexpectedly at home. Jen was a devoted wife and mother, a caring friend, and a vibrant member of our community. She was a modern Renaissance woman – an artist; an author; a gardener and horticulturist; an entrepreneur; a professor at the New England Institute of the Arts; an avid reader. Jen became a passionate world traveler and a connoisseur of diverse cultures through house swapping with people all over the world. Her optimism, joy, and curiosity were infectious.
A committed member of the Grafton community, she shared her passions on many arenas. She was a founding member of the Grafton Fine Arts & Music Festival; a founder of a Grafton book club; an active volunteer with the Community Harvest Project, the Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton and Upton, Grafton’s public schools, and community theatre arts; and a fervent social activist who put her ideas into action.
Jen was most dedicated to her family, husband Mark and children, Colin and Devon, who were the center of her universe. Inspired by Jen’s great passion for life, we would like to honor Jen’s many gifts to our community by supporting her family in their time of great loss.
Please consider donating a dessert and joining us on Sunday, October 19th at 2pm for some chocolate and music.
