Jinny Hartman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 19, 2016.
Jinny Kim Hartman of Etna, NH passed away on Wednesday, August 17, 2016.

Jinny was born March 23, 1964 in South Korea, the middle child of Ok Soon Hong and Nam Gyun Kim, both of whom were physicians who came to America ahead of their children in 1966. In 1970 Jinny and her older sister Joyce moved from Korea where they had been living with their grandmother to America to be reunited with their parents in Queens, NY. The following year, her sister Alice was born and the family moved to Dix Hills, NY. Jinny attended school there and excelled in the sciences and enjoyed athletics. She escaped Long Island to attend Wesleyan University. Her college years are memorable for her continuing love of science, dance, and the arts. She took up running and rowing, earning her varsity letter in crew. Following college, Jinny entered Mount Sinai School of Medicine and moved on to a residency in Anesthesiology at The New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center where she met the love of her life, Gregg Hartman, to whom she was married for 22 years. Jinny then joined Gregg as a faculty member, and the following year they started their family. A son, Benjamin, was born in 1995, and a daughter, Madeline (Matti), was born in 1998. In 1999 the Hartmans moved to Etna, NH. Jinny and Gregg joined the faculty of The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Department of Anesthesiology at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Their children immediately became part of the Upper Valley community, attending the Ray, Richmond, and Hanover High Schools. Both of them have moved on to Boston for college at Northeastern University where Ben is a third year student and Matti is a freshman.

Jinny will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and the most supportive friend. There was nothing she enjoyed more than watching her children play ice hockey, or simply witnessing them grow and mature, and with her husband engaging in endless projects and adventures. She was a valued confidante to her many friends and their children, who she enjoyed nurturing as much as she did her own. As a friend described, "whenever you saw Jinny, you knew your day was going to be better by having seen her." She was a creative potter, a scuba diver, a runner, a gourmet cook, and an endless lover of fashion. She will also be remembered as a valued colleague. At the medical center she was the director of the medical student anesthesiology rotation, an active clinician specializing in obstetrics and pediatric anesthesia, and a devoted teacher.

Jinny is survived by her husband Gregg, son Benjamin, daughter Matti, mother Oksana, mother-in-law Kathy, and sisters Joyce and Alice.

A gathering of friends and family will be held on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at the Bema at Dartmouth College with calling hours from 1:00-4:00 PM. A private celebration in loving memory of her will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jinny's name to Hanover High School. Please direct funds to Girls Ice Hockey, Boys Ice Hockey, or the Student Awareness Fund at 41 Lebanon St., Hanover, NH 03755.

I just heard about Jinny today. I was lucky enough to have Jinny as my anesthesiologist twice... During the birth of one of my children, she was so loving and compassionate. Last year, she was the Dr. for my daughter's surgery and I was absolutely thrilled when I saw her walk through the door.

My heart breaks for your family. You never know what is going on in other people's world, but please know that she touched mine. I will forever be grateful I had the chance to meet her.

August 23, 2016

Gregg and family,
Jinny was one of the kindest, warmest and most selfless people I have known. She brightened up even the most dreary days with her humor and spirit. An otherwise bad day at work was a good day working with her. When our son was born, she was one of the first to gift us baby clothing. I remember her every morning on the way to work, and she is terribly missed.

Gregg and Family,

I'm so sorry for your, and the world's loss. Although my contact with both of you is often brief, it has always been a pleasure to see the care Jinny showed for her patients and the patience she showed with residents. All of us in the PACU extend our deepest sympathy. I hope you can take some comfort in her gifts of knowledge, skill, compassion, and professionalism, and the enormous impact she had on the lives of others. A part of Jinny lives on through them.

Peace and healing to you all.

I loved working with Jinny and am so saddened by the news of her passing. I will miss her. She had such a bright and positive presence. We laughed often and shared stories of life's adventures, including hockey. Her pride and love of her husband and kids was evident. My prayers are with Jinny and your family. May you find comfort in this time of deep sorrow.

Jinny touched so many of our lives as resident physicians. Medical training is sometimes tough and stressful, and Jinny somehow always knew who needed to be lifted up. When my dad was ill, she was one of the few people who reached out to me in a way that let me know it was going to be ok. She had the uncanny ability to lift up the mood in a room--even in the midst of chaos. She will be missed by me and so many of us young physicians who had the privilege of being mentored by her. I know her kindness and warmth as a healer shaped so many of our lives.

My sincere condolences go out to you all at this time.

Jinny's guidance, teaching, compassion and her love of the creative arts and fashion are firmly planted in my mind. In my training, and even over this past year since my return, she provided the firm guidance but respect that sets apart a good teacher from great teacher. She was simply fantastic.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear Jinny had passed away. I met Jinny about a year ago in Ara Cardew's pottery class. I'm pretty shy and don't make friends easily, but somehow Jinny instantly made us friends. Her warmth and open heart always amazed me. I will be thinking of you and hoping you can find some comfort in this difficult time.

Dear Gregg, Ben, Matti, Oksana, Joyce, Alice and Kathy,

Please accept my most sincere condolences. I am heartbroken to hear of your loss. My mind is filled with the memories of conversations with Jinny in and out of the operating room from 2004 - 2010. When I worked with Jinny or spoke with Jinny, I did not want the time together to end. She effortlessly did her job to perfection. I loved working with her. She loved talking about the way she was raised, growing up and living in NY with her family. She was proud of and would warmly recall the way things were done being raised in a NY Korean family. She loved talking about the family she and Gregg shared. She absolutely marveled about her children. She described taking videos of her young children on Fridays and how much she loved sharing the videos with them. Her stories made all around us laugh. She gave me great insights into being a mom and emanated such happiness/importance/joy/awe that that role provided her. She was also in awe of Gregg. I loved seeing them at work together. You could see this connection between the two of them. No words needed to be exchanged. You could see her big smile when he was around even though it was completely covered with a surgical mask. I am reminded of her often by this big puffy polar bear she gave my children when they were first born and still adorns their room. She was a great friend and an amazingly skilled Anesthesiologist. Her mark on this world is undeniable. All who knew her are better for it. Thank you for sharing Jinny with me.

Respectfully and with much love,

Renee

Jinny was the brightest light. She treated you like you were the only person in the world...... Listening intently, and responding perfectly. I remember her telling me that she wanted to become an anesthesiologist so she could be the "host" to patients undergoing surgery, helping them feel at ease. I know she was one of the Those patients were blessed.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jinny's passing. It is not that long ago that she graced us at NY(P)H with her amazingly dynamic personality, and uncanny sense of humor. She was a truly beautiful soul that I will never forget, and my heart goes out to you, Ben and Mattie.

Dear Gregg and Family,
Jinny was my college roommate, sometimes study partner (lopsided relationship -- she taught me so much) and two-time marathon partner. I cannot believe that this woman, who gave so many of us inspiration, joy and laughter, did not know how much she brought to so many lives or how much we loved her. Attached is a favorite photo of her from when she was delighted with the new friendship from a butterfly at a Wesleyan biology lab. I remember her story from 2006 of Ben, trying to save Matti from getting in trouble, repeatedly interrupting until Jinny gave in: "What, Ben?!" And he said, "Mom, life is a great spirit." (She was mystified at where this had come from.) The story stuck with me because, of course, Jinny was a great spirit. I wish you all some peace in the midst of this devastating loss.

Katie Fuchs

August 21, 2016

I know I am not alone in saying Jinny was and still is such an inspiration for me. As a teacher and role model, her impact on myself and other residents and medical students is unquantifiable. She was deeply kind, thoughtful, engaging, dynamic, talented and just fun to be around. I looked up to her with so much awe and respect. Her ability to bring calm ease to any situation with such radiance and compassion was absolutely inspirational to a young woman in medicine. Whenever our paths crossed, I would feel re-invigorated and inspired - whether we were sitting together in pottery class or taking care of a patient together in the OR.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Jinny's presence will remain with me and so many others, always. I'm sending my warmest thoughts and prayers to you, Gregg, Ben and Matti. It was very clear to everyone how deeply she loves you.

Dear Gregg, Matti and Ben,

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Whether on the crew team at Wesleyan or a late afternoon in the OR, Jinny was always warm, intelligent, funny and soulful. Patients sensed the goodness she radiated and this calmed their anxiety through difficult procedures. I felt this too. Her passing is overwhelming, matched only by what she gave while she was with us.

My deepest sympathy to your family at this time. Jinny was such a fun, and wonderful colleague. I always knew my day would be better if she was there not only because of her expertise but also her attitude. She loved talking about the kids and sharing stories. She was truly full of love and light

Dear Greg and family, I was sorry to hear of the passing of Jinny. Her childhood friendship made elementary school better, and her creativeness was an inspiration. I was happy, but not surprised to discover she had grown into the smart, loving and creative individual loved by so many in this community. I am sorry for your loss.

Elizabeth Asch

August 20, 2016

Dear Oksana, Gregg, Ben, Matti and Kathy,
We remember Jinny most for the warmth and friendliness she brought to hockey games. She was also the doctor who administered anesthetic for Henry's second ear surgery, where she offered kindness and reassurance. How grateful we are for having shared those moments together. Often we would see Jinny running out on the roads around Hanover, as an inspiration to fitness. Her beauty, inside and out, remains in our hearts.
Please accept our love and sympathy for your sorrow. We stand with you, and we hope you know that a lot of the love that Jinny shared will come back to you now and in the years to come.
Respectfully,
Katherine Austin with Joe, Elizabeth, Henry and Tory Asch

For the few times I've worked with Jinny, she was always a delight. She radiated intelligence and confidence. She left an impression on me as a labor and delivery nurse when she came in and soothed our patients in pain. I won't ever forget that impression and the very impactful things she's done for us in critical times. Thank you, Dr. Hartman, for touching my life.

Jinny was a shining light of unconditional love. Her role as hockey mom for the HHS girls team transformed Cici's enjoyment of the game into a commitment to play for the team she loves. Jinny always went to the Campion Rink with grace and never boasted about Matti who has distinguished herself as the best that can be and with a leadership quality of helping our young goalie to excel.

To Gregg and your children,

I was so saddened to hear of your loss and am thinking about and praying for you. Jinny was a big part of the many fond memories I have of my time at Dartmouth and the upper valley. As people who had never left the comfort of home in Colorado until we moved there for residency, my wife and I were blessed to be welcomed into a family there, and you guys were a major part of this.

During this incredibly difficult time I hope you can find comfort in knowing that Jinny touched so many lives.
