NOTE: From Patricia Putnam:
Dear friends, My dear mother died at the age of 99 in the Gainesville hospital on the afternoon of March 6, after 7 days of increasingly bad pain and a little over 24 hours on palliative care. I was with her in the hospital for 5 days, but I got sick with covid Tuesday night and had to quarantine. My brother, Richard, arrived Monday afternoon and she rallied for a couple of hours, listening to our stories and looking at photos, but the pain came roaring back and she declined quickly. Richard could still be with her for her last hours on Wednesday, when I could not.Jean Putnam lived a long and beautiful life, was much loved, and will be greatly missed.
love,
Patricia
