Life edit

Josephine Medill Patterson was born on December 2, 1913, in Libertyville, Illinois. Her father, Joseph Medill Patterson, was a publisher of the New York Daily News. When Albright was 16 years old she earned her pilot's license. After a short career as a commercial pilot she traveled to India with her sister, Alicia Patterson, to hunt wild animals.[1][2]

Albright's journalism career began with her reporting for the Chicago Daily News. She left the profession in the mid-1930s to run a dairy farm in Lake County, Illinois. In 1936 she married Chicago lawyer Jay Frederick Reeve. The couple divorced in the 1940s. Albright then raised horses in Dubois, Wyoming. In 1946 she married the artist Ivan Albright. In 1949 Albright began writing a weekly column for Newsday. The column was about her life raising four children. The Albrights moved to Woodstock, Vermont in 1963. Around that time Albright graduated from Goddard College.[1][2]

Albright helped to establish the Alicia Patterson Foundation in honor of her deceased sister Alicia. The foundation is a journalism fellowship program that is still in existence.[3][2]

Ivan Albright produced several portraits of his wife. Castings of his 1954 bronze are in the Art Institute of Chicago[4] and the Tate.[5] A 1978 etching is in the Hood Museum of Art.[6] Albright died on January 15, 1996, in Woodstock, Vermont.[1]
