Jean Gordon Lauper
Born in Canada, Jean Gordon Lauper spent most of her life in San Francisco as the wife of Serge J. Lauper and the mother of four daughters. She had many fans and admirers because of her charm, her enthusiasm for life, and her witty ways. She possessed great skill as a choral conductor and demonstrated administrative mastery in organizing a broad range of cultural activities in religious and civic groups. Her deft ways were demonstrated in her sewing skills and her genealogy work. She tossed off only a few clever poems in her time and would be surprised and pleased to find herself set to music by her granddaughter-in-law Harriet Petherick Bushman. [from Discoveries: Two Centuries of Poems by Mormon Women, 108-9]
