Death of Jane Nebel Henson<br />

With very great sadness we mourn the passing of one of puppetry’s greatest friends, Jane Nebel Henson (1934-2013).<br />

Jane Henson has been a loving friend to puppetry for over 50 years.<br />

Her vision and generosity created the O’Neill National Puppetry Conference, just one of many ways she helped to shape<br />

American puppetry. Jane was shy and modest. Even though she would not like the label, many of us feel that Jane will<br />

always be considered puppet royalty.<br />

Jane’ s involvement with Puppeteers of America began in 1960 when she and Jim and baby Lisa attended their first<br />

festival.<br />

In 2000 Jane agreed to serve a term on the PofA board. Her advice was thoughtful and caring.<br />

When a puppeteer, or a puppet really engaged Jane’ s attention her face would light up with an unforgettable sparkle.<br />

Jane was always kind and gracious when adoring Muppet fans expressed their love and admiration.<br />

Our heartfelt condolences to her children, Lisa, Cheryl, Heather, Brian and John.<br />

A memorial mass to honor Jane was held in New York City and we are celebrating her amazing life with a tribute page at<br />
