Jacqueline Frances Lair Baer died peacefully at her home in Vineyard Haven on Nov. 25. She was 90.

Jackie was born in Oak Bluffs to H. Stanton (Stan) Lair and Phyllis Lightowler. Aside from a few years immediately following her 1954 marriage to Eugene (Gene) Baer, she lived her entire life in Vineyard Haven. She was an artist and professional photographer.

She grew up on Skiff avenue in the 1930s and 1940s, an only child and a ninth-generation Islander. Her father was a plumber and a model maker for the Van Ryper ship model company. She graduated from Tisbury High School in the class of 1950.

After high school, she attended the Massachusetts School of Art and the Boston Museum School, where she roomed at the Fenway Student House. It was there she met her roommate and lifelong friend, Nancy Marchand Kingsley, whom she would later introduce to the Island.

Jackie was a lifelong artist and mastered every medium she dove into: ceramics, photography, drawing, painting, dollmaking, digital art and, in her last years, elaborately-beaded mannequins and sculptures.

As a professional photographer, she chronicled weddings, families, events and generations of senior portraits, many in the home studio she built on Tashmoo avenue. She also photographed her own family, travels and creative projects. Her photographic portraits of the Wampanoag elders became a permanent exhibit at the Aquinnah Cultural Center, and her work documenting Island farms became the widely-celebrated video, Farm Trails.

Jackie loved antique dolls, art, curiosities, reading, travel, dump-picking, yard sale-ing and bottle-digging. She loved animals and doted over her many dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs and other critters.

One of her favorite outings in her later years was to the West Tisbury Dumptique. Jackie and Gene joked that when her day came, she would be carried off to “the Great Dumptique in the Sky.” Her family trusts she’s there now.

She was an early adopter of CB radio, mopeds, synchronized slide projection, the Internet, Photoshop, Facebook and other new technologies that caught her fancy.

In recent years, her ornate beaded mannequins were exhibited at Kara Taylor Gallery, the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse, Featherstone Gallery and the Cleopatra Lounge.

Jackie was predeceased by her parents; her husband, Gene; her aunts Fanny Lair Downs, Muriel Lightowler Brown and May Lightowler Woolaver; and by her uncles Carl Lair, Ralph Lair and Bert Lightowler.

She is survived by her four children, Justin Baer and his wife Jeannie of Silver Spring, Md., Jon Baer of Vineyard Haven, Gretchen Baer of Bisbee, Ariz., and Chris Baer and his wife Janice of Oak Bluffs, together with grandchildren Kara, Lissy, Christian and Jack, and five great-grandchildren, Isla, Matilda. Rukmini, Felicity and Josephine.

She also leaves her dearest childhood friends Janet Frieh Cunningham and Barbara Frieh Brunelle of Florida, and Geraldine Averill of Vineyard Haven.

A memorial service will be held at a date to be announced.
