I'm Nancy Guppy, host of Art Zone,
and we are dedicating this show
to the memory of our wonderful friend and colleague,
Jená Cane, who died October 5th, 2023.
♪♪
Jená was a force
to be reckoned with. In her 58 years of life,
Jená wore many hats and she wore them well.
Including actor, teaching artist, and co-founder
of Citizen University with her beloved husband, Eric Liu.
But Jená superpower was her singular ability
to connect with everyone.
She was curious, tenacious, honest, charming,
open minded, and always hilarious.
Her raspy laugh was sunshine, breaking through the clouds.
In her final years of life,
Jená laser focused her time and energy on relationships,
on loving those around her, especially her family:
husband Eric, daughter Zoe, and stepdaughter Olivia.
Jená was a light.
She made our world a brighter place, and we will miss her always.
