Letitia Jane Whaley was a fascinating person to watch. A devoted mother and grandmother with a wonderfully fussy streak — the kind that showed up in perfect housecleaning, meticulous shopping, and an unwavering commitment to wearing a dress every single day.
She greeted us with kisses, spoiled us happily, and collected a lifetime of stories that could fill a short novel. She lived to 93, sharp‑minded and independent right to the end. After my grandfather died, she stayed in her own apartment without issue — running her world exactly the way she liked it.
When she was finally carried out on a stretcher after a heart episode, she looked at my mother and said, “Jean, you will run the vacuum cleaner every day, won’t you?”
That was Letitia Jane — elegant, particular, loving, unforgettable.
Here’s The Letitia Jane Necklace. The oxidized beads feel exactly like something she would have worn — classic, dignified, and quietly striking.
Honour a woman who lived with style and precision.
Silver lava beads, brass
