Gertrude was born November 10, 1911, in New Orleans, Louisiana to the union of Mose and Edna P. Barnes who preceded her in death. To their union 10 children were born of which Gertrude was the 9th. Eight siblings, Rose Barnes Meyers, Louise Barnes Russell, Eva Barnes Kaho, Edna Barnes Williams, Martin, Leon Aschille and Joseph Barnes preceded here in death. Gertrude married Ferdinand James Fortune', Jr. on June 23, 1936, in New Orleans, LA. He preceded her in death in 1969. To their union 8 children were born. Three, Gwendolyn, Paul and Philip Fortune', Sr. preceded her in death. She is deeply loved and survived by 5 remaining children, and their spouses, Ferdinand J. Fortune', III (Irene) Augusta, GA, Patricia M. Martin (Art), Lorenza A. Johnson (Gilbert) Seattle, WA., Lawrence V. Fortune' (Cheryl) New Orleans, LA. and Edna S. Fortune' (Richard) Seattle, WA. One remaining sibling, Myrtle Barnes James of New Orleans, LA., 19 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren, also survive her. She also leaves to mourn numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and very good friends. Gertrude attended elementary and McDonough 35 high schools and Xavier University of New Orleans, LA. She taught in the New Orleans Public School, later becoming a housewife and devoted mother to her children. After the children were all in high school, Gertrude returned to work in the New Orleans Public School district as a Food Service Manager. Gertrude came to Seattle, WA., in 1971 after the death of her husband. She began working in the Seattle School District as a Food Service Manager until her retirement in 1976. Gertrude loved being with family, helped tremendously in the upbringing of many of her grandchildren. She enjoyed visiting her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a devout Catholic who loved traveling, especially enjoying visiting and seeing Pope John Paul II. Her travels took her to Rome, Italy, several times, to Germany and many other places within and outside of the United States. Her last visit was to Rome, Italy, November 2000 at age 89 to witness the canonization of Mother Katherine Drexel. She was a member of the Katherine Drexel Guild, working tirelessly for her Beautification and Sainthood. She was a member of St. Edward Parish Church until 1986 when she became one of the first residents of the Archdiosean Chancery Apartments becoming a member of St. James Cathedral. She was a Eucharistic Minister at St. James serving until her health began to fail in late 2001. As a member of the Legion of Mary, for many years, she served the sick and elderly visiting and administering holy communion and providing care and companionship. Gertrude attended mass daily until late 2001 when she could no longer safely walk across the street to church. Still she made a point to watch the mass daily on TV. After moving from the Chancery Apartments in November 2001, she continued to visit there attending prayer meetings weekly with her friends. She kept everyone in her prayers, but especially her children, grand and great grandchildren. Now that she is in a better place, with the Lord, we're sure her prayers will continue to strengthen and guide us until we all eventually join her in peaceful afterlife.
