Sad News from Our Congregation

January 17th, 2023


A Note From Rev. Alex


Dear Ones:


With great sadness, I write to tell you that our beloved member Price Watts passed away this morning. He was 84 years old.


Price was a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, raised in the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church. He and his wife Jane never felt they had found a spiritual home until joining our Congregation after their move to Traverse City in 1982.


Price was an above and beyond dedicated member of this community serving in a multitude of ways including and exceeding his roles on the Facilities Committee with his expertise on sound and technical equipment for services, his support of our Green Sanctuary designation as a congregation, and his deep love of social justice.


Price was also a staunch environmentalist and loved nature; he found spirituality in his many treks and trips, especially his camping and canoeing expeditions.


The family and I are still discussing options for a memorial. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to support some causes that were close to Price's heart:



The family also invites you to visit Price and Jane's bench at the end of Old Mission Peninsula to sit and stay awhile as you honor Price's memory.


With deep sympathy,

Reverend Alex Jensen

Minister
