Jean Emily Henley from (December 3, 1910 in Chicago, Illinois – August 19, 1994 in Shelburne Vermont) was an anesthesiologist. She was the only child of Eugene Henry and Helen Esther Heller (maiden name: Gutman[1]), who emigrated from Hungary and Germany respectively into the United States. She was fluent in German, due to that being her parents native language.[2] The father changed the family surname to Henley while she was still a child. Both parents practiced lay psychotherapy and later obtained PhDs.[3] As both a sculptor and linguist, she had many accomplishments.[3][citation needed]
