Biography
| Birth | 2 December 1912 | Jean Pearsall was born on 2 December 1912.1 |
| Marriage | 21 February 1938 | Robert Nietzel Buck and she were married on 21 February 1938 |
| Death | 15 February 2004 | She died on 15 February 2004 at Woodridge Nursing Home in Moreton, Vermont, Died of Alzheimer's Disease, which she had for 4 years preceding her death.1 |
| Burial | 16 February 2004 | She was buried on 16 February 2004 at Green Mountain Crematory in Northfield, Vermont. |
| Note | 16 February 2004 | On 16 February 2004, Letter from Jean's husband and children to family after her death: "Jean Pearsall Buck, December 2, 1912 - February 15, 2004. As many of you may know, a few years ago Jean (Mom) became afflicted with Alzheimer's. The disease took its irreversible path, from which she has come to rest. If she were of sound mind, her wonderful use of formal words might say the disease is "vile," leaving a path that is not "viable."
She was 91 years old. Yes, she is missed, but it seems also fair to say that her life looked grand, save this and that, at least from our outside view. As we also know, many in this world do not have such a wonderful opportunity of longevity, which seems a helpful perspective as we press on.
No doubt you will understand our feelings of good fortune, from all that she has generously and devotedly given to us, her family. And no doubt you have your own memories, so we offer this note and photo for your thoughts. As we focus on our memories with the brightness of the many flowers she has planted, her kindness shown from her ever present smile, and to laugh at the folly of lie, we encourage all to join in such an uplifting path. Bob, Ferris and Rob Buck." |
| Obituary | 18 February 2004 | 18 February 2004, Barre, Vermont, Times Argus Obituary:. Jean Pearsall Buck passed away peacefully on February 15th surrounded by family. She had recently moved to Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin, Vermont after a two year battle with Alzheimer's disease.
She was born in Westfield, New Jersey on December 2, 1912. Her mother was Jessie Davidson Pearsall and her father, editor of The Standard newspaper of Westfield, Ferris Randolph Pearsall.
Jean Pearsall, a shy and glamorous young woman, was a model at both Bonwit Teller and Bergdoff Goodman before her marriage to pilot Robert Buck. They wed on February 21, 1938, and she became a world traveler. In an era when hardly anyone had been on an airplane, she joined him first in national and then international travels. Paris was a favored destination.
Her respectful attractive manner was befriending to all who met her. Children especially were drawn to her gentle, kind words. She devoted her life to family and her passion for gardening and conservation. Her seemingly innocent manner hid a tough woman who through dirt, chucked rocks, sowed seeds all in a manner that would exhaust and pale a teenager. Her home was replete with stunning gardens and plants, the result of her extensive self studies and observations from visits and investigations of many European and Eastern gardens during her wide travels.
In her youth she marched in the first NRA (National Recovery Act, a program of President Roosevelt) parade in New York City, and on another occasion walked across the George Washington Bridge on its opening day.
She is survived by her husband, a daughter, Ferris Buck Urbanowski of N. Fayston, and son, Robert O. Buck of Waterbury Center, as well as three grand children and one great grand daughter, five step grand children and one step great grandson.
Services are private and will be held in the spring among the host of daffodils she planted around her home in North Fayston.
