She was the mother of
Salome Juliar "Sally"
and Henry Ellsworth ii "Hanke"
Life
She taught high school french before she married Henry. Her children were in college when their father, Henry died, and when her son "Hanke" died in a tragic car crash, she and Salome moved to Italy.
The two had a couple of apartments before Jean found a beautiful penthouse on Via Gregoriana, which is a stone's throw from the Spanish steps. The apartment had no elevator, and there were 80 stairs to the door, which was fine in her younger days, but got to be too much as she got older. Jean would regularly spend her summers in Baraboo at the home at 201 8th St. that Henry W. Ringling bought from Charles Ringling. That's where she retired in the late 1980s, well after her 80th birthday.
Death ...
Jean lived a long and interesting life.
She had a series of strokes, each one progressively worse, until she finally succumbed to a massive hemorrhage on January 2nd, 1994.
She died peacefully at St. Clare Hospital, and was interred at the Henry Ringling Mausoleum in Walnut Hill Cemetery in Baraboo.
