Sorry to hear Jennifer passed.  She was an unforgettable light in the world. 

My thoughts are with Jennifer’s family.  she was a kind & thoughtful colleague of mine at the Library of Congress & in the American Indian Library Association.

So sad to hear of Jennifer’s passing. She was my sister Nancy Rowe’s closest friend for decades and a wonderful support to her in the last years of Nancy’s life. So glad we stopped by to see Jen few years ago in Virginia. We’re at the Wee House on Cape Cod now where they both loved to come. Treasuring the memories, and giving thanks for both of them today. 

Rest now Jen, our beloved friend.

I worked with Jennifer in the Prints & Photographs Division of the
Library of Congress where I was impressed with the care and consideration she showed to both the library’s public and staff.  She shared an expertise in the Division’s Native American holdings and often gave presentations  to encourage scholarship in the collections.  One of my memories of Jennifer is from when I traveled with her and observed her professional yet very warm interaction with the audience.  She won their hearts while she shared her deep knowledge of her subject, which is not easily accomplished.  

After we had both retired I was often touched by the loving posts she wrote about her family and friends. Clearly she was fortunate in her close relationships and greatly valued them.  I am very sorry for her family’s loss.


Hello Jennifer's family,
I am deeply touched by the departure of Jennifer. She was a friend so long ago, when I was in Pullman Washington. I was so glad we kept in touch.
She was a great and strong woman, and she was beautiful. 
I hope she is well surrounded by her loved ones now.
and I wish you all the courage necessary to overcome this loss.
All my best thoughts and love from France. 
Marie.


I am deeply saddened by Jenifer's passing. She was an inspiration to me and I truly enjoyed our visits when she came to Spirit Lake. Tanyan omani (good journey) to the Star Camp. You will be missed. 

I hear this news with sadness and extend my sympathies to Juliea and family,  and others close to Jennifer,  including friends who have had her in their lives for many years.  I so valued working with Jennifer  as a friend and colleague at the Library of Congress, especially in sharing commitment to advancing awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of Native American history and culture. Her work in description and guidance pioneered accessibility of Indigenous resources at the Library to a widening audience, including tribal nations, and helped set important precedents that influenced the expansion of awareness and services we are committed to today.  Many thanks to you Jennifer.  I will miss your smile, wit, and  intelligence, and I am wishing for you now peace and beauty.

I am so sorry to hear of Jenn's passing. I knew her back in the halcyon days of our shared time in Pullman, WA/Moscow, ID days. She was part of my wonderful circle of women friends and we enjoyed poker parties and swimming hole outings. She and Nancy Rowe were nearly inseparable, and their enduring friendship was a lovely thing to see. I stayed in touch with her through the years, mostly via Facebook, but had a wonderful visit with her once when I was in Washington DC. My heart is aching.

I knew Jenn in college at Washington State University.  To this day, after 75 years of meeting a long list of incredible people from all walks of life, she still stands out as one of the most memorable people of my entire stay on the planet.  She had that uncanny look on her face (anytime she wasn't laughing) that was so endearing with its lack of judgment, its openness.  She was the epitome of unassuming and unpretentious.  Never a false air, a life without ego.  A truly incredible human being.  The universe is just a bit less lovely today, but Jenn wouldn't like to hear me say that.  So, instead, with these tears in my eyes, I'll just say, "Jenn, thank you so very much for the short time I got to know you.  What a fine, honest, kind, lovely, and honorable person you were.  The world is a better place because of Jennifer Brathovde."
