Woodburn Scholar
Illustrious Brother Walter
Woodburn, 33° IGH was an active Mason,
Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner in the Seattle area. Our
Brother Walter was integral to the early success of the
Scottish Rite Foundation of Washington, serving as a
Director for many years.
Walter M. and Wilda E. Woodburn had no children of their
own; however it was always their desire to assist with
children’s health and education. In following the wishes
of their 1994 Trust Agreement, as all of the other named
heirs were deceased, their estate was left to several
local Masonic charities, including the Masonic Home,
Shrine Hospital and this Foundation devoted to
post-secondary education.
B. Walter passed on in 1996, with Mrs. Woodburn joining
him in 2003. Both Walter and Wilda remain fondly in
remembrance by many of us, and the results of their work
will remain with us for years to come. |
