Gloria Leonidas, The Bellevue woman killed this week in Seattle, was praised by EvergreenHealth for her vision and service on the organizations’s board.

Leonidas was one of five people killed Wednesday by a man who went on a shooting spree.

“We grieve with Gloria’s family and each of the lives she touched through her important work with the EvergreenHealth Foundation and beyond, the organization said in a press release.

Leonidas served on the foundation’s board from 2002 to 2012.

“We express our deepest sympathies for the loss of Gloria and honor her life’s innumerable contributions which will benefit many generations to come,” the statement said.
