Jamie was an accomplished entrepreneur and Professor of Education, devoting her working years to the development of young children, and those who teach.  She was a Reading Specialist and spent a tremendous amount of time in her career doing research.  Her Bachelor and Master’s Degrees were both from Ball State University, Muncie, IN.  She received her Ed.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1981.  She was the founder of The Learning Tree Association of Pittsburgh, also known as The Learning Tree Schools.  Opening her first location in 1975, she grew the operation from one site to a total of 8 locations in the Pittsburgh area.  She sold the business in 2000 and retired from California University of PA that same year.  Jamie traveled the world with her late husband Horton, and that was a true passion of theirs throughout their life together.

Always impeccably dressed – she would want to be remembered for her wit, her sense of style, but mostly for her devotion to the education of young children.   She loved the arts, and was a longtime devotee of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.  She had a smile and a laugh that could light up a room.  She was driven, passionate and devoted to her family.

A private service will be held at a later date in Pittsburgh, PA.  Her ashes will be placed with Horton’s at Homewood Cemetery.
