my first memory of Jean was her rushing into the kitchen to take a pan off the stove. she had started to boil water for something and melted the pan (she was taking a nap) I was 4 at the time. Jean came to our house every Christmas.. it wasn't Christmas until she showed up. My sisters and I looked forward to hearing about her travels and stories , I recall riding in the back seat of her blue Volvo 122, she was teaching us protest songs (We shall overcome) and she had with her Terisita who told us stories of growing up in the
Philippines. she brought back weird and wonderful things from her trips, strange foods and fascinating pictures. I recall seeing her on the CBS evening news demonstrating at Seabrook Nuclear plant and being arrested for climbing a fence.
Jean gave me things to think on, about war and peace and fairness, rights for women,for people.
the picture shown is Jean with her older sister my mother , Dorthy Williams 2004
rest in peace Jean, where everyone is treated equally
Tim.

The cats loved Jean's bed. She credited the little yellow "Nurse Nessie" with speedy recovery from anything that kept you in bed for a day.

Tribute from Lee Nyberg
Jean will forever be in my heart, she was my lifeline when I needed it the most. I was one of the many who was fortunate to be taken into her generous loving heart & home. As I struggled to make sense of how to live as a person with no means to support oneself, Jean showed me not to be afraid and guided me in the direction I needed to go as I finish high school. Jean was gentle, funny, educator & fearless. Two of my fondest memories is Jean standing in front of the kitchen counter with a huge ball of dough needing away. She made the best bread I have ever tasted and to this day, non has come close to that yummy bread she made every week at 10 Jewett Lane. Jean's favorite drink is a glass of beer in ice and a slice of lime.
Jean was my friend, my compuss, my strength and I am sad I will not be able to see her again. Thank you for all you did for me Jean

Sue Tyler publicó un comentario Yes Lee Nyberg, it was you the universe sent to connect me with Jean. I remember you as my fearless student, trying to navigate through high school. I was pleased and honored when you invited me to come to 10 Jewett Lane for dinner, to meet your housemates. I had no idea, that my life was about to be altered forever. In retrospect I realized everyone including Jean were on their best behavior for Ms Tyler's visit. It was the beginning of many decades of fabulous dinners debates etc. As you transitioned from my student to my friend, your extended family became mine. Jean was our forever, teacher leader, confidante, chef,and compass. The love and comradery that was shared in that house, started with Jean and spread. So my unconditional thanks to you for being brave enough to invite me to dinner.

Lee publicó un comentario Ms. Tyler, your words rang true, Jean was the best teacher and u come second. hehe Thinking back to high school times, PE was my favorite class. Your teaching made the class enjoyable and tought me to do my best with humbleness. Only after you joined the Hot Flashes team, I saw your dry sense of humor. We all love having you join the HF team! I miss those days.

I had the good fortune of sharing a birthday with Jean -- not the year, but the day. Our friendship deepened on the many trips we took to celebrate ourselves.
Jean was truly a citizen of the world. No matter where we were, if we had a question or ran into trouble, Jean would communicate in a combination of English, bad Spanish, and wild handwaving. She always solved the problem and often made friends for life.
We didn't always know where we were going while traveling and were often very lost, but that was just part of the adventure. I hope to have many more birthdays, but they won't be quite the same without her. XOXOXO

Jean and Sue Tyler. Sue went to visit Jean often after she moved to Orchard Valley and took her out in her camper for day trips and lunch - French fries 'on the road' - pre-Covid of course. Jean got Sue's mother to camp with them outside a military base in NY in protest, which, if you knew Sue's mother is even more remarkable! Sue loves her dear friend, who she says made her a better person.

Professors Jean Grossholtz and Sally Montgomery, 1970 - Tribute by Susan Woods
I was never Jean’s student at Mount Holyoke but her intervention saved my graduation. It was 1970, the year of the student strikes against the war in Vietnam. I delayed completing the required math course until my senior year. Big mistake. Problem was I transposed numbers, wrote 5’s for 3’s. I understood what to do but just could not get those answers correct on the test. I was in trouble. Without my knowledge, Jean spoke with the teacher who conceded I wasn’t stupid, agreed to give me a low but passing grade. In that year of disruption, all grades were pass/fail. I passed, no one the wiser. Who knows what she might have said to whom when I got my first teaching job. I’ve always suspected some helpful intervention. Those were the early years at 10 Jewett Lane. We moved in, we built furniture, we came out, we marched in protest, we talked about ideas and poetry, we played softball, we watched Dance Fever and Police Woman, we ate tomatoes and corn and asparagus, we loved our dogs. We had so much fun together – connection and relationship that lasted over the years. Thank you, Jean. Much love always.

Professor Emeritus Jean Grossholtz Rest in Power
I have no words to express what I feel right now but I can tell you what an impact Jean had on my life. She took on the role of being my parent after my mother died and I don’t quite know how I’m going to navigate my life without her. She’s left a large gaping hole in my heart.
It was a year after I graduated from MHC. I was living in Boston and I called her to tell her that I had just found out that my mother had died back home in Delhi. She and her partner Eileen got in their car and drove 1.5 hours to Boston to take me to Logan airport, a mere 20-minute cab ride from my house.
Jean created a room in her home called “Sonali’s room” so that I always knew I had a home to return to. She did the kinds of things parents do. She showed up with a brand new set of pots and pans at my first home off-campus in South Hadley. Ironically it turned out be her first home in South Hadley. She took me for my driver’s license test. She landed up at the hospital in Richmond VA when my son was born some 15 years after I had graduated. She was my speed dial person, my rock, my anchor who pulled me through some of the darkest times of my life. She taught me to question everything. She shined light on how I had been a feminist all along while navigating patriarchy in all its forms, growing up in India. But she also opened my eyes to how feminism can translate into fighting for environmental justice and be a part of the anti-war movement and all the myriad ways in which we had our voice and needed to use it to speak up against injustice in all its forms. Jean also taught me how to plant a vegetable garden and grown green beans in particular. She taught me how to make a difference in this world.
I took 3 classes with Jean: Politics of Patriarchy, Sex and Politics (that showed up as Sex & Pol on my transcript) and my mother questioned the classes I was taking in college. I also took Women Organizing Women with her. She introduced me to the world of grassroots organizing and my first job out of college was at Arise for Social Justice (all thanks to Jean). She inspired me to become a Professor myself and I can only aspire to be the kind of teacher that she was. Those are big shoes to fill, no doubt.
Jean introduced me to fine wine and Manchego cheese but also spoke of how little we need to survive, of being conscious and mindful in our consumption. Jean made it okay for me to accept myself as an out proud lesbian. She wrote letters of recommendations for me for numerous jobs, grad school applications, green card application, numerous grant applications and fellowships over a span of 2+ decades. She supported me in ways I can’t list.
Jean was my safe space, my safety net. I’d be going through some crisis and manage to hold it together but when I’d hear her voice at the other end of the line, I’d somehow lose it, release, and let go because I knew it was safe to do so, that she had the capacity to hold me even from afar.
My life has been forever changed by both the presence and absence of Jean Grossholtz. I know that many have felt her seismic force and impact in equally deep and profound ways and I’m sure you all can relate to the gravity of this loss. I’m holding you all close to say that I feel it too.

Kavita Ramdas publicó un comentario Sonali, sending love and solidarity. This woman was all Mount Holyoke can be proud of. I’m so glad I got to know her and like all of you fell in love with her - thanks to Mary Jacob, Indira Peterson, and Joan Cox, Jean was a part of my life even though as a transfer student I never managed to squeeze in a class with her. Her feminist brilliance inspired me and still does. Rest in Power Jean! ✊
