Their father Charles Nelson "Chip" Strong, being a cowboy, raised them as best as he could. Bessie found herself mothering her brother and sister through much of her childhood in foster homes, cowboy bunk houses and on the Hoopa Indian Reservation.

Bessie and Clyde were married in Eureka. They had three more children together, Clyde, Jack and Nancy Bell.

She became an active member of a number of local civic clubs, including American Field Service (AFS), Etna Enthusiasts where she was involved in the creation of the swimming pool in Etna, and Evening Star, Chapter #10 of the Order of the Eastern Star of Etna, CA. In all these groups, Bessie was always welcome on the food committee. Bessie married Bert Davis in 1979 and traveled to Alaska to reunite with her brother Jerry and his family. While in Alaska, Bessie was recognized as an Honorary Raven by the Tlingit Tribe. Bessie is survived by her sons Clyde MacGowan, of Alameda, Jack MacGowan, of Etna, and daughter Nancy MacGowan, of Etna, as well as grandchildren Scott MacGowan, of Honolulu, Hawaii, Jennifer Erickson, of Newport Beach, Ginger MacGowan, of Yreka, Robert MacGowan-Perry, of Oakland, Heather Millar, of San Francisco, Karen Stookey, of Ventura, and Sonia Stringer, of Eureka.

Harold Raymond Mancusi-Ungaro Sr., M.D., F.A.A.P.

On September 5, 2010, Harold Raymond Mancusi-Ungaro, Sr., M.D., F.A.A.P., passed away at his California home at the age of 91. Dr. Mancusi-Ungaro was born in Newark, NJ, at home on September 3, 1919. He received his B.A. from Yale University in 1940. Medicine was his calling. He became the eldest in the twelfth generation of physicians in his family when he received his M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in December 1943, part of an accelerated wartime class. During his internship at Newark City Hospital, he met Freda Liebman, his wife of 59 years. Although he chose pediatrics, the war years had him stationed at Finney Hospital in Georgia where he practiced as a psychiatrist. After the war, Dr. Mancusi-Ungaro completed a pediatric residency at New York Hospital. The family settled in Montclair, NJ, where he opened his private practice of pediatrics in their house on January 1, 1949. Professionally, he cared for two generations of children and their children. He retired, thirty years to the day, on January 1, 1979. He and Freda had intended to take three months off to winter in Florida; he never resumed practice. He loved to cook, and made a mission passing his mother's and grandmother's recipes on to the next two generations. In 1996, they moved to Beaumont, TX, to be near their son. They relocated to Santa Rosa, CA in 2002. Dr. Mancusi-Ungaro lost Freda in 2004 after a long illness. In Santa Rosa, he met and later married Sheilah Ryan. He remained active and vibrant until the end. Politics was a constant subject of discussion. He enjoyed many of the local restaurants, and was a proud member and frequent visitor of the Wild Oak Saddle Club in Oakmont. Death came quietly from malignant melanoma. Throughout his life, he easily befriended people, whether his patients, his neighbors, or the local merchants. One Texas friend described him as a true gentleman. He enjoyed a thirty-plus-year retirement. He touched many lives professionally and many hearts personally. He asked his family to celebrate his life, not mourn his death, "I've lived a good life, a long life. I have no regrets. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing." He lived. Vixit. Dr. Mancusi-Ungaro is survived by Sheilah, his two children and their spouses, Harold Jr. and wife Susan Mancusi-Ungaro of Santa Rosa and Donna and husband Robert Hart of Ann Arbor, MI; Harold Jr.'s children, Harold Themistocles Mancusi-Ungaro and his wife Monica of New York City and Marianna Mancusi-Ungaro of New Orleans; Donna's children Robert Eric Hart and wife Erin of Chicago and Deanna Hart of Ann Arbor.

Holly Heather Hayden

Holly Heather Hayden Beauty, brains, a great sense of humor, athletic, and a loving, generous heart, Holly Heather Hayden had it all. Sadly, the bright candle of her life was snuffed out by a tragic act on Sunday, August 29, 2010. A native Californian, born October 19, 1957, she was raised in Orinda, CA where she was a champion swimmer, avid horseback rider, and downhill skier. Holly was a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. During her college years she became a hang glider pilot, a sport she enjoyed for decades. After several years working in computer networking, she settled in her house in Pioneer in 1988. She enjoyed life and outdoor adventures in all seasons, skiing, hiking, climbing, and swimming in mountain lakes. Holly was also very artistic and imaginative, creating jewelry and recycling a variety of "found objects" into both practical and artistic creations. Very caring and always concerned about others, Holly loved people and made friends everywhere she went, even standing in line at the grocery store. Joyous and fun-loving, Holly was also a determined woman who worked hard to overcome challenges in life. Holly worked as a legal assistant, and care giver for developmentally disabled adults. In addition, she had just completed over a year of service doing both office and field work for the 2010 Census. Rebuilding her life after serious health problems and years of struggle attempting to save a failed marriage, this past year had been a very happy one for Holly. She was able to again enjoy many of her favorite sports, have the satisfaction of work well done for the Census, establish new, rewarding friendships, and happily commit whole-heartedly to a fresh, joyous, and truly loving, romantic relationship. Holly Hayden is survived by her parents, Patricia and David T. Hayden, her sister, Hillary Hayden, her brother, David C. Hayden, her nephew, Jet Hayden, cousins Donna Bosco and family, Nicholas Harmer and family, and the Giottonini families of Oregon & Stockton, and dearest friends Rosie Saint Ives and Don Nicodemus, Jr. A memorial celebration of Holly Hayden's life will be held at the Volcano Amphitheater, Volcano, CA on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 4:00 pm.

His story in many ways mirrored the great events of the twentieth century and the city of Los Angeles. Born on January 10, 1926 in a Los Angeles that little resembles the city of today, John grew up in North Hollywood when it was still very much a rural community of dirt roads. His father Stephen Boskovich was a Croatian immigrant and one of the early farmers to work the valley. After attending North Hollywood High School, he enlisted in the

Josephine English

Josephine (Jo) Cicely English Resident of San Jose 1925 - 2010 Josephine English was a kind, generous loving mother, wife and friend. She was born in Birmingham England on June 30, 1925. She immigrated to Canada with her late husband John and two sons in 1957. In 1963, the family, with an addition of another son born in Canada, immigrated to the United States. Josephine passed away peacefully on Monday, August 30 after a brief illness. She was 85 years old. Josephine met her husband-to-be John in a NAAFI canteen (the British Army version of a USO Club) in London during the Second World War. Josephine served as a clerk in the Auxiliary Territorial Service of the British Army during the war while John was with the RAF. They wrote each other every day during John's overseas deployment and they married in 1947. They were married 62 years before John's passing in 2009. The move from Canada to the United States brought Josephine and her family to California. Except for a job assignment that took John to Ohio for a few years, she was happy to call San Jose her home. She quickly adapted to all things American and soon became a diehard Giants and later a Sharks fan. Going to Candlestick/AT & T and "The Tank" or watching her teams on television was one of her greatest pleasures. A less successful American adaptation was automobile driving. Family lore has it that she learned to drive and remarkably obtained a driver's license. Curiously, no one in the family can recall having actually seen her drive. The family, and no doubt fellow motorists, was grateful that she apparently never put into practice what the State of California entitled her to do. Some English traditions were not abandoned, particularly those associated with Christmas. We will miss the anticipation of her baking marathon before Christmas that resulted in delicious mincemeat pies, butter tarts, sausage rolls and shortbread cookies - and became more prized than any gift left under the tree. Although Josephine was a homemaker for most of her life, she worked as a teller for Bank of America for 15 years at the old San Jose Main Office and various other branches in San Jose. She made many life-long friends among customers and co-workers alike. Josephine was also an avid quilter and enjoyed weekly quilting with her friends at the Willow Glen Senior Center. It would take months for her to complete a quilt (hand-stitched only) and they represent a cherished memory of her talent and love for the family and friends who were recipients of the quilts. Josephine is survived by her sons Michael, Stuart and Peter, daughters-in-law Pam and Kathy, grandchildren Steven and Kim, nephews Bruce Riley, Ray Stephens, and Dale Stephens, and nieces Sue Urling and Donna Stephens. She also leaves behind Suki, her devoted Lhasa Apso who provided her with much joy during the day and served as an uncomplaining foot-warmer at night. The family would like to express its deep gratitude to Hospice of the Valley for their kind support to Josephine during her final days and to Zenia Gomez and Gemma Tayoan for the extraordinary love and comfort that they provided. The family encourages donations to Hospice of the Valley, 4850 Union Ave., San Jose, 95124. A private memorial service will be held.

Lee Cherlin Green

Lee Cherlin Green, 88, died peacefully on Friday, September 10, 2010, at Danbury Hospital, due to complications following a short hospital stay. Lee was born on September 21, 1921, in Brooklyn, NY to Isadore and Sima (Schilder) Cherlin, grew up in Williamsburg and lived with her maternal grandparents, Ben Zion and Rachel Schilder, who raised her after both her parents died very early in her life. She later lived with her aunt Esther Margulies and her husband Sam in Sunnyside. Although it was not an easy childhood, she often mentioned with fondness her young life in Brooklyn and Queens, a memory she treasured. After graduating at the top of her class from Bryant High School in 1937, at only age 16, Lee continued her education by taking courses at City College and graduating from a secretarial school. Because of her love of art and music she and her girlfriends often traveled the long trek from Brooklyn to Manhattan to see and hear artists of her day. She sometimes spoke about being thrilled to see a very young Frank Sinatra perform in the city. On November 13, 1941 Lee married Melvin Green from Pittsburgh, PA following a whirlwind romance in the Poconos. After becoming married, Lee went to live for a short time in Pittsburgh while Melvin went off to serve in WW II as an Army Air Corps supply sergeant, stationed in Africa. In 1942, Lee returned to NY and began secretarial work for MacMillan Clemens, an inventor and manufacturer of Army munitions boxes, and who later went on to create numerous other inventions for the war effort. After, , Lee and her returning husband Melvin, were instrumental in starting the Clemens Panel Company, and produced the first insulated, lightweight, and totally modular panels used for both military and commercial building construction projects. They lived for a short while in Southport CT and then relocated to Danbury. Lee made this community her home for the next 60 years. When her husband opened a juvenile furniture and toy store (The Play Pen) on Main Street, in Danbury, Lee was right there helping establish the business. Lee later worked in the Danbury Public School system as a secretary, and then later in the insurance industry for 30 years, the majority of this time spent at John Hyatt Associates. While working, Lee always remained a volunteer in the community. She was active in the United Jewish Center Sisterhood, Hadassah, the National Council of Jewish Women, and was also an active member of the Insurance Woman of Greater Danbury. After her recent 'retirement', she became involved in the Friday morning discussion group at the United Jewish Center led by Barbara Weisblatt. She was always well prepared and brought new topics and articles weekly. She was active in the Jewish Book Club at the Jewish Federation of Greater Danbury. Lee was always willing to drive her friends to the doctor, or the grocery store, or offer assistance whenever someone needed help. One of her strongest beliefs was that she should have food available to offer anyone who stopped by and her freezer was testimony to that. Lee was an avid baker and especially loved celebrating holidays with her family. Many of her friends will also remember the crocheted and knitted scarves she loved to make and give away. Surviving Lee are her children and their spouses, Bruce Green of Brookfield, Tracey Cleary and her husband, Edward of New Haven and Lisi Marcus and her husband, Neil of Redding. She leaves behind six grandchildren, Matthew Green and his wife, Julie of Framingham, MA; Benjamin Green of Lock Haven, Pa.; Sarah Cleary and David Cleary of New Haven, and Evan Marcus and Brandon Marcus of Redding. There are two great grandchildren, Alexa and Gabriel Green also of Framingham, Mass. Lee is also survived by another close member of the family, a niece, Sheri Margulies-Semel of Las Cruces, New Mexico and step grand-children Abby Marcus and her family of Brooklyn, NY and Timothy Marcus of San Francisco, CA. She was predeceased by her husband Melvin, who died on January 31, 1972. Funeral services will take place on Sunday (today) at 3 p.m. in the United Jewish Center, 141 Deer Hill Avenue, Danbury. Burial to follow at the United Jewish Center Cemetery, Miry Brook Road, Danbury. Shiva will be observed at the home of Lisi and Neil Marcus, 209 Lonetown Road, Redding on Sunday and Monday evening at 7 p.m. On Tuesday evening, Shiva will be at the home of Tracey Cleary, 200 Lakeview Terrace, New Haven. Contributions in Lee's honor and memory may be made to the United Jewish Center, 141 Deer Hill Avenue, Danbury 06810 and the Danbury Hospital Development Fund, 24 Hospital Ave., Danbury 06810. Jowdy-Kane Funeral Home, 9-11 Granville Ave., Danbury is in charge of arrangements.

Lila Ann Grasberger

Lila Ann Grasberger, n�e Hulse, passed away gently in her sleep on September 3, 2010. She died on her own terms, with dignity and faith in the Lord, looking forward to spending eternity with her beloved husband, Bill, who preceded her in death by 13 years. Lila was born in Queens, N.Y., on December 20, 1927, and grew up in Port Jefferson, Long Island. In 1947, she married Bill Grasberger, then a salesman for PPG, and moved from house to house and city to city as his career advanced and the family grew. From Long Island to Philadelphia to Cleveland to New York to Tokyo to Pittsburgh to San Diego to Bethel, she quickly transformed each new house into a warm comfortable home for her husband and children, as well as for other family members whenever they were in need. As a wife and mother, Lila was encouraging, forgiving, supportive, caring, fiercely loyal, and above all, loving. She had a great sense of humor; and ok, perhaps she was strong-willed, opinionated and stubborn as well, but as she liked to say with a twinkle, "My halo is held on by my horns!" Lila's kindness, laughter, wisdom, and effervescence will be sorely miss by her three children, John and his wife, Eva Goode, of San Diego, CA, Coral Presti and her husband, Bill of Bethel, and Mick and his wife, Patty of Texas; five grandchildren and their families, Erin Grasberger, Michael and Allyson Presti, Bill and Amanda Presti, Thomas and Kathy Presti, and Matthew Presti and his fianc�, Katie Bragdon; six great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends throughout the country whose lives she touched. We will celebrate her life at a Memorial Mass to be held at St. Mary Catholic Church, 26 Dodingtown Road, Bethel, at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 18, 2010. As Lila was a breast-cancer survivor, in lieu of flowers, please consider making donations in her name to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Fund (, ) or to St. Mary Church, Bethel. Lila's family members wish to express their deep appreciation to the staff of Danbury Hospital and Bethel Health Care Center for their professional and compassionate care of Lila during the last few months of her life.

Melanie Bellah

Melanie Bellah May 16, 1928 - Sept. 2, 2010 After an extended illness Melanie returned home at her request on the morning of September 2. She was very happy to be at home and in the care of her husband of 61 years. Melanie Hyman was born in New Orleans but grew up mainly in Los Angeles. She was a brilliant student and editor of the Los Angeles High School daily newspaper. It was there that she met Robert Bellah who would later become her husband. But first Bob went into the army and then to Harvard and Melanie went to Stanford. After she graduated from Stanford Melanie went to Cambridge and married Bob where they lived for twenty years and had four daughters. In 1967 the family moved to Berkeley, where as in Cambridge they enjoyed a full life of art, music, conversation, politics, and, in the case of Melanie the continuation of a life of recreational ballet that had begun when she was a child. At the age of 40 she went to Boalt Hall (JD 1972), served as a clerk for a distinguished Federal Appeals Court judge, became a family law specialist, and practiced for some 15 years on her own. In addition to practicing family law, Melanie provided pro-bono services to a number of local community causes and was active in the Panoramic Hill Association's efforts to rationalize development on the nearby campus. Tragedy struck twice into this happy, active family with the deaths of two of the four sisters in their teens, Tammy in 1973 and Abby in 1976. They were never forgotten and the family knew well the dark side of life though never gave in to despair. Melanie is survived by her husband, Robert, two daughters, Jennifer Bellah Maguire and Hally Bellah-Guther, and five grandchildren. Melanie was raised in a secular Jewish family and always affirmed her loyalty to the Jewish people. For her, to do anything less would be to betray a heritage of suffering. But she was also drawn to aspects of Christianity, the theology of the cross in particular. She asked for a Christian memorial service in her husband's Episcopal parish church. She was especially drawn to Mozart, his religious music in particular, for she saw in Mozart a Christ-like figure. A Memorial service for her will be held in All Souls Episcopal Church, 2220 Cedar Street in Berkeley, on Tuesday, September 14 at 2:30 p.m. to be followed by a reception in the parish hall. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations to the Los Angeles Ballet c/o the Melanie Bellah Fund ( www.losangelesballet.org).

Mildred Beggs

Mildred Adelle Beggs Resident of Santa Cruz Beloved mother of six, grandmother of ten, and great-grandmother of two slipped from her family's embrace in the early morning hours of Sept. 8, 2010 at Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz after a brief illness. Mildred was born Oct. 5, 1923 in Denver, Colorado to Robert and Mildred Stouder. After her mother's death during the birth of Mildred's brother Robert Stouder, Mildred's father remarried and Mildred welcomed brother Philip Comstock and sister Jane Bleckley (n‚e Stouder) into her life. During the Great Depression, Mildred's family moved to Alton, Illinois where she graduated from Alton Community Consolidated High School in 1941. She went on to Gradwohl School of Laboratory Technique in St. Louis, Missouri, graduating in 1942. She used her skills at Presnell Hospital in Kennett, Missouri, 1942-44. In 1944 she heeded her country's call to serve in the U.S. Navy during WWII and provided care to our nation's wounded as a WAVE (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) until her discharge in 1946. She then entered Denver University and met and married Gordon (in 1948) while both were students there. They settled in Denver for a brief time before convincing Grandpa John Parker (who lived with them) to head west for the San Francisco bay area. Mildred taught school (mostly kindergarten) in the Sunnyvale and Cupertino school districts for 25 years before retiring in 1983 and moving to Santa Cruz in 1985. Mildred and Gordon began their large family of six children in 1949. Despite such a large family and modest teacher's salaries, the Beggs family traveled the U.S. and the world, including cramped journeys around Europe in a camper van and many camping trips to the mountains or beach. Mildred possessed an extraordinary "green thumb" and enjoyed working in the family fuchsia business after retirement, and in her backyard garden well into her later years. Her children called her "Mom" and "Grandma", a tribute to the many roles she so lovingly played in everyone's lives. She was especially loved by her grandchildren for her many talents, because she created incredibly elaborate and themed birthday cakes, because her lap always had room for one more, and simply because some of mom and dad's rules didn't apply when at grandma's. The cookie jar was always full and nap time never came. Her patience and her love knew no limits. There was always room for one more (or ten more) at the table. She was the embodiment of benevolence. Mildred was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Gordon C. Beggs and her oldest daughter Debbie Beggs Lyon and her brother Philip Comstock. Mildred is survived by her brother Robert Stouder of Escondido, CA, sister Jane Bleckley of So. Carolina; children Susan (Scott) Detro, John (Jane) Beggs, Thomas (Lilian) Beggs, Anne Beggs, and Jennifer (David) Beebe; grandchildren Eric (Sheila) and Michael Lyon, Brian and Kevin Beggs, Emily and JT Beggs, Lauren and Kelly Detro, and Ben (Tarin) and Chris Beebe; great-grandchildren Isis and Eric Lyon Jr. and many nieces and nephews. The family is eternally grateful to all of Mildred's dear friends at the Mid-County Senior Center in Santa Cruz. A celebration of Mildred's life will be held at 2:00pm on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at the Cupertino Union Church, 20900 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, CA, 95014. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Sempervirens Fund (www.sempervirens.org) or to the charity of your choice (she had many favorites). A Family Blessing Lord, bless the family that I love And comfort them each day - As daytime turns to nighttime Please bring them peace I pray. When morning comes tomorrow, Let all their cares be small. . . Guide them with your wisdom, Lord, bless them one and all. - author unknown

Ruby Danieri

RUBY GOODE DANIERI Lifelong Corona resident Ruby Virginia Danieri, née Goode, passed away peacefully at her home September 7 after a long illness. Her children and long-time caregiver were at her bedside. Ruby was a true child of Corona, born at the Jameson Ranch on 4 December 1922. She graduated from Corona High School in 1940, soon after attending the local premiere of one of her favourite movies, Gone With the Wind. She dated her high school sweetheart, Joe Danieri, often sharing an ice cream sundae at the Mava, listening to the Big Bands and attending local dances. They married in 1941 and her residence in Corona was interrupted only in those years when she traveled to Army bases with Joe until he was shipped to Europe in WWII. Many in the community will remember Ruby from her work at the First Trust Bank. She was a member of the Degree of Pocahontas service club and a member of their Thursday night bowling league. She had perfect form and a pretty decent average. For a number of years she was a volunteer at Circle City hospital. Her life, though, was at its richest when she was with her family. She was a loving and supporting wife to Joe until his death in 2007. They both enjoyed the music of their generation, went to movies together and were known to cut quite a rug at Elk\'s Club dances. She was one of the leaders of the Brownies and the Girl Scouts and a den mother for the Cub Scouts; she was often the class mom, a member of the PTA and went on countless field trips. She was there when her two children came home from school for lunch and, most of all, was always there for them and, later, for their children. She was loved by many and will be remembered by family, friends and acquaintances as unassuming, kind and with a gentleness of spirit. Predeceased by Joe and daughter-in-law Alexis Danieri, she is survived by her son Ron Danieri of Corona, daughter Cheryl and son-in-law Barrie Ratcliffe of Cambridge, Ontario Canada; her grandchildren Avery and Stephan Danieri of Corona, Ben and Josh Ratcliffe of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Aby Ratcliffe and great-grandchildren Tristan and Charlotte Ratcliffe Lambert of Quebec City and her caregiver Paulita Sagun of Corona. She will also be missed by nieces, nephews and cousins too numerous to name. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the Corona Regional Hospice for their unobtrusive efficiency delivered with sensitivity and kindness. As she lived, she passed gently into that good night.... Funeral services will be held Thursday September 16 at 10 am at Thomas Miller Mortuary, 1118 East Sixth St, Corona. Visitation immediately preceding from 9 am. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a contribution to the Corona Regional Hospice or National Parkinson Foundation 800-327-4545,

Shirley M. Harris

After a brief illness, Shirley Harris died peacefully at home on Friday, August 27th, with her husband and daughters at her side. She had just celebrated her 70th year of marriage to Robert Harris on June 8, 2010. Born in Dixon, Illinois, on November 10, 1922, Shirley Mae Hunt was the seventh of eight children of Charles and Mae Anderson Hunt. With the early death of her mother, Shirley traveled alone to California as a thirteen year old girl. Living with a brother in Southern California, she fondly reminisced about a first plane ride at age 14 that an employer set up with Howard Hughes. When her brother was transferred to Oakland, Shirley moved with him where she then assisted families in Oakland, Piedmont and Berkeley as a nanny. In 1940, she graduated from Berkeley High School; a day later she married her beau, Robert. As a high school graduation present Shirley had received a one-way bus ticket back to Illinois, so Robert proposed that day. Rather than be separated, Bob and Shirley eloped to Reno on June 8th, 1940. While Robert served the US Army in France, Shirley worked at the Oakland Naval yard. After the war, she both worked and cared for her children, while Bob finished his education and worked two jobs. Moving from Oakland to Santa Rosa in 1946 changed the path of Shirley's life. She encouraged her young husband to venture out into his own business; in 1952 Bob joined with Hal Trebbe and they purchased King's Stationery located at 424-4th Street. Trebbe sold out to Robert and Shirley one year later. In the beginning, Shirley did the bookkeeping at King's in addition to rearing four small children. She and Robert had three daughters and one son. For many years Shirley was a member of the First Presbyterian church and later she and Robert helped build the community of the Center for Positive Living Church in Santa Rosa, a community based on Norman Vincent Peale's Christian teachings. "A quintessential mother of the fifties", according to her daughters, Shirley combined raising her children with the pleasures of a social life and abundant friendships. She balanced her commitments at home with those of her friends: she entertained, went to dances and theater and kept a well managed home. She engaged fully in her children's schooling, church, and all extra curricular activities ranging from Brownies to Bluebirds, the study of piano to song. In the sixties, as her children reached adulthood, Shirley turned her interests to education and travel. In 1969 she went back to the Santa Rosa Junior College to study literature, history and art. She tutored adults who could not read or write. She studied painting to capture her favorite landscapes: the mountains, lakes and nature she learned to love over many years of camping, fishing and playing outdoors. From 1957 to 2007, she travelled to nearly every continent. From Russia and China to South America, she used her travel to inform her actions. In the late sixties, she hosted foreign exchange students from Germany and Ecuador; both Rosemarie Feig and Silvia Castillo to this day call "Mom" for advice and friendship. Her family grew far beyond her four children to include those international and local students she helped via educational scholarships. An avid student of life, Shirley enjoyed discovering new ways of seeing: painting, reading, bird watching and tending the palette of her expansive rose garden. She loved music, dancing, cooking and every avenue to community. Shirley described her own life as "so blessed"; she gloried in the friendship of so many remarkable women and men. She regularly called on and assisted her sorority sisters of over 60 years, and her beloved line dance community of the past 25 years. She lived seeking all paths that led her into long and trusted friendships. She was well loved by all persons she met in life, as she radiated humility, caring and love. She was also an advocate for her daughters and their inspiration to take on new challenges. Shirley was preceded in death by her daughter, Lynne Harris Kennedy and by her granddaughter, Madeline Harris Eckel. She is survived by her beloved husband Robert W., her two daughters, Judith Harris-Frisk and husband Jerome Frisk (Santa Cruz) and Shirlee Harris (Sequim) her son, William R. Harris (Aptos). Her grandchildren, Tawn O. Kennedy, (Santa Cruz), Michelle Harris Zolezzi, Joy and Daniel Harris (Nashville), Weston Harris Frisk (Santa Cruz) and Nathalie and Genevieve Harris Eckel (Seattle) all loved their grandmother dearly. Shirley enjoyed one great grandchild, Anthony Zolezzi. A woman of immense generosity, Shirley will be dearly missed by family and friends. A memorial will be held on October 2 at noon at the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made to the Shirley Harris Memorial Scholarship Fund, Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, 1501 Mendocino Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95401 or to your favorite charity.

The Rev. Paul Locatelli

Fr. Paul L. Locatelli, S.J., Resident of Santa Clara, CA Fr. Paul Leo Locatelli, S.J., 71, Chancellor and former President of Santa Clara University, died July 12, 2010 at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, Los Gatos. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Paul was a Jesuit for 47 years and a priest for 36 years. Paul was born in Santa Cruz on September 16, 1938 and grew up in Boulder Creek. Paul attended the University of California at Berkeley, 1956-58 and transferred to Santa Clara University, where he graduated with a degree in Accounting in January 1961. Paul served in the Army and while stationed at Fort Ord, began to think seriously about a vocation to the priesthood and religious life as a Jesuit. He wished "to serve God and help people spiritually" and viewed teaching as a "laudable profession," which as a priest, would also be "edifying." He entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Los Gatos on September 7, 1962. Following studies at Gonzaga University's Mount St. Michael's campus (1965-67), Paul began doctoral studies in business administration at the University of Southern California, completing his work in 1971 with a dissertation on ethical responsibility in the professional practice of accounting. He made theology studies at the Jesuit School of Theology, Berkeley, 1971-74, and was ordained to the priesthood in St. Mary's Cathedral, San Francisco, on March 23, 1974. Upon completion of studies, Paul returned to Santa Clara as Assistant Professor of Accounting. In addition to teaching he served as Associate Dean of the School of Business, 1976-78, and as Academic Vice President, 1978-86. In 1986 he was named Rector of the Jesuit Community of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, and two years later returned to Santa Clara as the 27th President of the university. Paul was elected to four terms as President, a tribute to his outstanding abilities and balanced leadership style. Administrative evaluations were uniformly high, praising his energy, availability, and clear and forceful articulation of the University's mission. From the start as president, Paul ably coalesced the university around several themes: a need to connect more with the world outside the university and have a voice in the global dialogue; a need to increase student diversity to continue the Jesuit emphasis on education for all; and a need to tap into the rich resources of the university's Silicon Valley neighbors, entrepreneurs, and businesses. Paul was the public face of the university to the greater community and served on the boards of many local and national civic and educational organizations. He was the recipient of many awards, including the Distinguished Professor Award from the California Society of Certified Public Accountants, the 2009 David Packard Award, and the Catholic Church's "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" Award in 2001. In 2008 Paul stepped down as President after 20 years and assumed the position of Chancellor of the University and a newly established Jesuit position, Secretary for Higher Education and the Intellectual Apostolate, with an office in Rome. In this latter capacity Paul's role was to provide advice and input on education matters, encourage programs of international collaboration and convene periodic meetings of Jesuit university presidents . One of his last acts was to oversee an international meeting of Jesuit educators in Mexico City this spring. Paul was highly esteemed by his Jesuit and lay colleagues. His peers found him "generous, sensitive, and cooperative," and praised his "clear and accurate judgment" and leadership qualities. He was a deeply spiritual man. When he was diagnosed with the tumor in May, he wrote to friends, "I am looking at this as an opportunity to enrich and deepen my friendship with God, friends and family, and to better serve the people of God." Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Vincent and Marie (Piccone) Locatelli, and his sister-in-law, Carol Locatelli. He is survived by his two brothers and their families: Al Locatelli and Diane Kranich of Scotts Valley, and Harry and Lydia Locatelli of Santa Cruz. Nieces and nephews include Lynn Locatelli DVM of Watrous, NM and Russell Locatelli of McKinleyville, CA and Paul Locatelli, Amy Bosinger and Matthew Locatelli of Santa Cruz. Paul also leaves several grandnieces and grandnephews. A viewing will be held Friday, July 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mission Church on Santa Clara's campus at 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95053. A funeral Mass will be held that evening at 7:30 p.m. in the Mission Gardens, with a reception following. A private committal service will be held at a later date. Contributions can be made to the Paul Locatelli, S.J. Memorial Fund for Student Scholarships, Santa Clara University Development Office, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95053-1400 or at http://www.scu.edu/give/how-to-give/make-your-gift/ Funeral arrangements by DARLING-FISCHER Chapel of the Hills in Los Gatos, CA.
