Biographical History
E. Genevieve Gillette was born in 1898 to David Comodore Gillette and Kittie Beal Gillette. She was instrumental in many conservation works, especially the establishment of Michigan's state park system. She graduated from Lansing High School in 1916, and received a B.S. in agriculture from Michigan Agriculture College in 1920. She helped organize the Michigan Horticultural Society in 1930, became the first president of the Detroit Rose Society, started a Michigan branch of the Friends of the Native Landscape, and organized a grassroots Michigan Parks Association. On August 12, 1976, a building in the P.J. Hoffmaster State Park was named for her. She died in 1986 at the age of 88.
