My mother Doris was a highly talented but unrecognized artist having done many oil paintings and pen and ink drawings, mostly notably of Native American life. She also did extensive art design work on a rifle engraving presented to an American President.
Doris was also known as "Firefly" to her Native American friends. Her extensive associations and friendships with other Native Americans led her to be officially adopted into the Narraganset tribe based in Rhode Island.
Daughter to the late Harry L. Jacquelin & Bernice (Wadleigh) Jacquelin. She was a widow, being married to Lee Stempowicz and was mother of an only child; Jean Lee (aka; Gina Lee)- She left behind her daughter, a grand-daughter Jaime Lee & a grandson Jared Matthew.
