Mardi Kildebeck

I wish that I had known Mardi. We were both members of the Metropolitan Club at the same time. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting her dear sister Georgie this evening and sharing conversation and food. She mentioned her sister Mardi and I realized that I needed to know more about her as she was certainly loved and missed by her sister, Georgie.

It has been with shock and great sadness to learn of Mardi's death. We were good, close friends and classmates at Northfield School. We had such good times and memories and even got into trouble together! We were planning a reunion in the spring with her roommate Harriet Goff. Both of us are hoping to reach her sister Georgi as we have no contact information. Help would be welcome.
She was unique and will be very much missed.
Farewell, good friend.

We were grateful to meet with Mardi's family, her Damasco & Associates colleagues, clients and reproductive rights supporters at her memorial service. I am sad to have lost my friend of 40 years. Mardi was a trusted colleague and my co-Trustee of the Mary Wohlford Foundation. We shared many strategy discussions on the best way for the foundation to support the vision of Mary Wohlford. Mary was my client since 1979. After Mary's death, Mardi and I had the honor of working together to...

Mardi was a friend and mentor to me. I enjoyed making her laugh because i got to hear that laugh of hers... She first found our Making Contact organization in 2005, and became a loyal supporter of our Reproductive Justice journalism. Her death leaves a void in the constellation of women's liberation champions.

That she was a shining light in our community of residents at the Golden Gateway, always ready to help others here and in larger communities, especially women. She was interested in learning always and supported San Francisco organizations that promoted education and discussion. She is missed by us all.

Mardi will be missed she was a shinning star in many peoples lives. Prayers, thoughts and love to the family.

I wa honored to know Mardi as a fellow resident of the Gateway, part of the wonderful circle of women friends there. One of the greatest gifts is that she brought us Georgie. ❤. I love that this legacy post mentions what a great listener Mardi was: you truly felt as if you were the only one in the room with her.
Mardi invited me to attend special functions, such as the Planned Parenthood event with Cecile Richards speaking. I had invited Mardi to attend a non-profit's function that...

I'll never forget Mardi's joie de vivre, perpetual positive attitude and hearty laugh. She was always a joy to be around and brought a smile to everyone in her orbit. I was in awe of her indefatigable support of progressive causes and devotion to our neighborhood. In addition, she was an insightful and generous member of our book club. I was so lucky to have known Mardi for the time I did. Her spirit and energy will motivate me as long as I live.
