Ellen Jane “Jinny” Carleton Reinhardt, ’39, MA ’42 JINNY REINHARDT, daughter-in-law of former Mills President Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, passed away peacefully, after a long and productive life at the age of 85 on November 6, 2002. She received both a BA and MA in art from Mills. As a student, she met her future husband, Paul, who lived on campus with his brother, Fred, and their mother, President Reinhardt. During her life, Jinny pursued the arts. She produced jewelry, ceramics, mosaics, sculpture, and photography. She worked as a docent at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, focusing on the 12th and 13th centuries. Her home and garden were full of treasures she collected and made. For more than 40 years, Jinny was an active volunteer in her community. In addition to serving on the Mills College Board of Trustees, she volunteered with the Palo Alto Junior Museum, the Little House Senior Center, the San Francisco Symphony, the City of Palo Alto, the Dance Applause, the Peninsula Center for the Blind, the Stanford Music Guild, The Palo Alto Medical Research Foundation, and the Stanford Committee for Art. She served as chair of the Channing House Art and Decoration Committee and president of the Residents’ Council for two years. In 1988 Jinny was awarded the Paul Emerson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council for the Arts Palo Alto for her “ardent support of the arts.” On her 80th birthday she was honored at a special ceremony by the Committee for Art at Stanford University for “Outstanding Service in the Visual Arts at Stanford University since 1954.” She is survived by four children, five grandchildren, two sisters, and a brother. Her husband, Dr. Paul Reinhardt, died in 1999.
