Joan Chatfield-Taylor Longtime San Franciscan Joan Chatfield-Taylor died on October 19, 2012 in Portland, Oregon, from breast cancer. San Francisco has lost one of its liveliest and most creative personalities. Born August 14, 1941, near Tucson, Arizona, Joan moved to San Francisco a few years later, where she spent the rest of her life. After earning her BA from Smith College in 1962, she became the fashion editor for the San Francisco Chronicle. Her articles were noted not only for their vivid descriptions of costly clothes, but their sly humor and graceful prose. In the late '70's Joan left the Chronicle to become a successful freelance writer, focusing on travel, architecture and food. Joan loved to travel-the more exotic and less tamed the better. Her most profound travel experiences included studying cooking in Laos and Vietnam, investigating Israeli border surveillance, and probing the roles of older women in South Africa. Closer to home, she engaged in numerous philanthropic activities, primarily in the areas of education, art and liberal political advancement. In addition to being a fiercely devoted mother to her two children, Joan forged substantive, meaningful friendships at every point in her life. She retained her friends from nursery school, boarding school, work, chance encounters on trips, and formed close ties with her children's friends, who remember a warm and festive household, exceptional cuisine, and a person sincerely interested in their lives. Every one of them misses her deeply. Joan is survived by her two children, Christina and Matthew Henry de Tessan, her two grandchildren, Luc and Ben, her son-in-law Rick Wilson, and her brother Michael Thomas. Joan's memorial service will be held November 9, 2012 at 3:00 pm at the Chapel of Our Lady in the Presidio. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Doctors without Borders.
