The Contra Costa County resident later worked for a Martinez public relations firm. A celebration of her life will be held Jan. 28 in Pleasant Hill.
Gottschalk, who died Dec. 26 at age 76, perhaps is best remembered for her part in the Tribune’s Action Line column. A resident of Contra Costa County, Gottschalk also worked for many years at Inform Public Relations/Dynamic Networking in Martinez after leaving the Tribune.
By then, she already was involved in the Action Line column as an assistant, ultimately taking it over in 1979 when previous columnist Cliff Pletschet was promoted to business editor. Through Action Line, Gottschalk helped readers contend with and solve problems often compounded by government or corporate bureaucracy.
