Patricia Jeanne Gilmartin
December 21, 1945 - December 28, 2012
Her greatest commitment and sacrifice was for her family and children Patricia J. (Jeanne) Gilmartin, 67, passed away very unexpectedly on
Friday December 28th, 2012 near her current home in Lynnwood,
Washington.
Patricia was born Patti Jeanne Mason in Fort Worth, TX on December 21,
1945, daughter to Jesse Mason and Katherine Jeanne Allred. She was the
eldest of ten children and divorced from a long marriage to David
Gilmartin and is survived by her three children Alice Gilmartin of
Port Charlotte, FL, Jennifer Leonhardt of Los Angeles, CA and Aaron
Gilmartin of Colver City, CA as well as her only grandchild, Juliet
Tondowski of Glendale, CA.
Patricia was a trained professional ballet dancer from a young age and
never lost her love for movement which she continued to pursue in a
lifelong study of the performance of eurythmy. She moved from Texas to
Washington DC early in her marriage and found anthroposophy with her
then-husband, helping to start the first Waldorf School community
there in the early 1970s. She completed a Bachelor's degree in
psychology at Keene State College after moving to WIlton, New
Hampshire where she resided from 1977 to 1983. She then completed a
Masters of Science at Drake University. As an ABD PhD candidate at the
Bryn Mawr School of Social Work and Social Research, she was
interested in helping people in need and especially motivated by
social justice. She was employed by IAM Crest and working at the
Boeing plant in Everett, WA as a vocational rehabilitation counselor
at the time of her death. Her greatest commitment and sacrifice was
for her family and especially her children to whom she was utterly
dedicated.
Her family wishes to thank the eurythmy community in Seattle, the
Unity Church of Lynnwood and the anthroposophical and Christian
Community, especially Gisela Wielki and Cinthia Hindes, in the places
where she lived.
