Gwyneth Gamble Booth, the Portland philanthropist and journalist who helped break down barriers for women in the corporate boardroom, died Oct. 25. She was 86.
The Dougy Center, a Southeast Portland organization serving children and others grieving the loss of a loved one, may have been the organization closest to her heart. Booth not only was a powerful advocate and fundraiser for the nonprofit but also a volunteer, facilitating support groups.
