About	Beth Sage Pattie June 5, 1956-May 11, 2012 Pleasanton, California Beth Sage (Lenhart) Pattie, resident of Pleasanton, Calif., died May 11, 2012, from complications of cancer treatment. She was born in Palo Alto and was a graduate of Palo Alto High School. She was a member of the first girl Sea Scout troop in the area whose activities centered around the Palo Alto yacht harbor and Sea Scout House, now an interpretive center. She graduated with a B.S. degree in nutrition from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and later an M.A. in Psychology from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology in Pasadena. She was a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Pleasanton. In addition to her gentle humor and practical therapy techniques, she was planning to add the unique skills developed in recent studies with Cathryn Clerc at Hippocrene Springs -- integrating horses as partners in the therapeutic process. Sage is survived by her husband of 32 years, Steven Pattie of Pleasanton; and sons, Nathan Norris Pattie of Honolulu and Lucas Ohio Pattie of Martinez; her mother, Gracella (Gee-Gee) Anderson Lenhart of Palo Alto, who is the granddaughter of Melville Best Anderson, a member of the original faculty brought to Stanford by David Starr Jordan. Survivors also include siblings, Bill Lenhart of Riggins, Idaho, Laurie Engelhardt of Boise, Idaho, and Russ Lenhart of Railroad Flat, Calif.; parents-in-law, Frank and Mary Jane Pattie of Gilroy and sister-in-law, Linda Pattie of Columbia, Mo. Her father, James Lenhart preceded her in death. She was blessed to have many friends, aunts, uncles, cousins and professional colleagues, all of whom will miss her deeply.
