This past weekend, Rowena passed on after a long and valiant struggle with illness. She was in Reno, Nevada, her recent home. She worked tirelessly as an artist, teacher, thinker, visionary, feminist, mother, sister and daughter. Her work and her spirit will continue to provoke creativity in all those who come into contact with it. There was a retrospective exhibition of her art in Pennsylvania, organized by her close student and friend Gayle Dulcey and other friends. Rowena was extremely pleased to see pieces from her earliest years to her most recent creations on display in one place. Rowena remained determined until the end to ensure that her vision and work-expressed through countless works of art, books, articles, and cards-will continue to inspire.
She is survived by her sons Miles and Charlie, and their spouses Deepti and Vaughan, as well as her brothers Dick and Mark, their spouses Karen and Sandy, and the granddaughter Vishaala.
Lovingly, Rowena's Family

Pattee is the person responsible for the color photo of Suzuki Roshi that
you see everywhere at SFZC (and for sale in the bookstore). My husband
James and I visited her at her home in the East Bay sometime in the early
70s—probably 1973-74, and at that time she showed us this photo she had
taken. We convinced her to let us have a copy, and later she allowed us to
give it to SFZC. It is important to remember that she is the source of the
best color photo of Suzuki Roshi that we have (as far as I know).As an Amazon Associate Cuke Archives earns from qualifying purchases.
