Leda Goldman Bartee

Leda Goldman Bartee, age 70, passed away on October 3, 2026. Born on June 28, 1956, she grew up in Far Rockaway, New York, and later made her home in Fountain, Colorado. Leda will be remembered as a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother whose steady presence and devotion to family shaped the lives of those who knew her best.

From an early age, Leda found joy in simple pleasures and lasting loyalties—she was an avid Mets fan, and she carried a genuine love of travel throughout her life. That interest in seeing new places and sharing time together would remain a constant thread, enriching her years with meaningful experiences and cherished companionship.

Leda served in the US Army for three years as a medical assistant, attaining the rank of SP4 and serving in Germany. Her commitment to caring for others continued long after her military service. She worked for 33 years as a certified nurses aid, a vocation that reflected her enduring dedication and the quiet strength required to support others day after day. In retirement, she embraced time with family and friends—traveling together, enjoying cruises, and meeting for lunch, moments that became treasured routines and lasting memories.

Leda was married to her husband, Gary Bartee, for 48 years. She is also survived by her daughter, Heather Bartee, and her son, Michael Bartee; and by her grandsons, Brandon Bartee and Tyler Bartee. Michael and her grandsons live in Rockville, Maryland. She is also survived by her mother, Norma, who is 99 years old.

In her personal life, Leda enjoyed traveling, knitting, lunch with friends, and bingo at the senior center. She loved animals and especially loved her dogs. Her care extended beyond her own home as well, as she volunteered with the dog rescue—an expression of the compassion and tenderness that marked her life.

A Committal Service will be held at Pikes Peak National Cemetery, 10545 Drennan Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80925, US, on October 19, 2026, at 1:00 pm.

Leda’s life was defined by love given freely and faithfully—within her family, through her service, and in the everyday kindness she offered to others. She will be deeply missed and respectfully remembered.
