Margaret ‘Greta’ Bartholomew
Margaret Mary Bartholomew, known as Greta, passed away March 15, 2021, at Swedish Hospital in Edmonds, WA. She was born in Derry, Northern Ireland to John and Catherine Walsh on October 12, 1932.
By the age of 7, Greta and the rest of Europe found themselves in the midst of the Second World War. These troubling times helped shape her into the woman we all knew and loved. She took from this period a love for family; strong devotion to her faith; love for life and laughter; and her continued admiration of those in uniform, like her father John, who served in the First World War. This would lead her to her future husband, Dave Bartholomew. Dave, a visiting US service member, would become the love of her life and who she would spend the next 53 years with until his passing in 2017. She loved him deeply, and said a prayer in front of his picture every evening until she passed.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (Legal Newsline) – Protection from lawsuits for religious institutions in an anti-discrimination law is OK, the Washington Supreme Court recently ruled, but a Seattle group is not free from litigation yet for refusing to hire a gay man for its open lawyer position.
The defendant in attorney Matthew Woods’ lawsuit, which had failed at the trial court level, might not qualify for the exception, a March 4 opinion written by Justice Barbara Madsen that refused to strike down the state legislature’s work on the Washington Law Against Discrimination.
Religious nonprofits are not considered employers for the purposes of the WLAD and are therefore exempt from litigation. The decision in Woods’ case on the constitutionality of the exemption was in line with previous challenges.
