Jane French Tatlock ’62

Jane French Tatlock ’62, of Lincoln, Mass.; Oct. 3. She had an adventurous spirit and after meeting her husband Dick at Brown, they could be seen riding their vintage motorcycle with their cat in the sidecar around Cambridge before settling in Lincoln. In the 1970s, after reading in the Boston Globe about a women’s hockey team, she bought skates, learned to skate and joined what became the Mother Puckers. When her children were young she helped create the Lincoln Day Camps. She was a coach for Lincoln Youth Soccer—despite originally knowing nothing about the game—and later she worked with the Council on Aging, organizing field trips to museums. Actively involved in First Parish Church, she dedicated years to gathering and editing the weekly Parish News. She also enjoyed playing the church handbells and became one of the Lincoln Handbell Ringers. She is survived by her husband, Dick ’62; daughter Dana Tatlock ’91; a son; four grandchildren; a sister; and several nieces and nephews.
