Jane Henson 1934-2013

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Jim Henson Co. says Henson's partner in marriage and Muppets has died. The company says Jane Henson died Tuesday at her Connecticut home following a battle with cancer. She was 78. She and Jim Henson met in a University of Maryland puppetry class in the mid-1950s, and they became creative and business partners in the development of the Muppets. The Hensons married in 1959 and had five children: Lisa, Cheryl, Brian, John and Heather. The pair separated in 1986, and Jim Henson died in 1990. In 1992, Jane Henson created and funded The Jim Henson Legacy to preserve his artistic contributions. A memorial Mass is planned next week. |

As a longtime fan of The Muppets, I was particularly saddened to hear about this. May God bless and comfort all of the Henson family during this sad time.
