Gertrude E. Reynolds, born April 8, 1910 in Factoryville, PA, died June 4, 2006 in Santa Fe, NM. She is survived by her nieces, Charlotte McClure Lowrey of Santa Fe, Susan Reynolds McClure of North Carolina, and Ann Reynolds of Austin, TX; by long-time friends, Lorraine T. Price, Steve and Loretta Gonzales, Grey Howell, Nancy Hochstead, and Cynthia "Bear" Sahlfeld; and by several great-nieces and -nephews, two great-great -nephews; and a great-great-great-nephew. As a teenager, Gertrude moved from her home on a farm in Factoryville to Harrisburg, PA because her father, Howard Reynolds, a large animal veterinarian, was appointed to serve on the Pennsylvania Milk Commission. She attended Columbia University in New York City and returned to Harrisburg to teach kindergarten at Sweeney Day School. In 1948 she moved to Albuquerque, NM, where she lived until 1993. She earned her BA Degree from the University of New Mexico in 1961. She taught at Manzano Day School for many years, and then taught for Headstart in Tijeras, NM and in Albuquerque. She was an active member of the Peace Center in Albuquerque after her retirement and was a member of the Re-Evaluation Counseling Communities. After her move to Santa Fe in 1993 she was active in the Hearing Impaired Community and was a member of the Unitarian Church. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. A Memorial Service will be held in July.
