Trisha Garlock, stalwart fundraiser for Marin schools, dies

Trisha Garlock, who helped raise millions of dollars for Marin school enrichment programs over more than 40 years, died Jan. 15 from complications of blood cancer. She was 78.

Ms. Garlock spent 32 years leading Kiddo, the education foundation supporting the Mill Valley School District. She co-founded Kiddo with a Mill Valley neighbor in 1982 because they were concerned about the school district cutting arts and music instruction in the aftermath of state Proposition 13, which affected property taxes.
