Barbara Toms Mills Aged 87, of San Francisco and Smith Ranch in San Rafael, died peacefully with her family at her side on Oct. 21, 2010. Born in Hoboken, NJ in 1923 to George Parker and Marion Fagan Toms, her family moved to California when she was a young child. Barbara attended high school at Dominican Convent in San Rafael and graduated from Vassar College in 1944. After graduation, she settled in San Francisco where she met her husband, Captain William "Bill" Nichols Mills. They enjoyed over 55 years of marriage, until Bill died in 2006. Barbara taught English and social studies at Lowell and George Washington high schools in San Francisco. In the early 1970s, she was a hands-on, hard working advocate for San Francisco's fledgling recycling program. A low handicap golfer, Barbara was captain of the Ladies' Annex at San Francisco Golf Club.

For many years, she and Bill spent weekends sailing with friends and their three children. In later years, they exchanged their sailboat for beautiful hilltop acreage in Yountville, where they enjoyed both the labors and the fruits of owning rural property--from chopping and burning brush to entertaining friends as they listened to the open-air concerts at the Mondavi vineyard below. Barbara was an extraordinary woman, admired for her elegance, grace and determination. Like so many of her generation, her experiences growing up during the Depression and WWII helped to forge her character and world view. A strong woman, she set high standards for her family and for herself. Her generosity came through in many ways, as a patron of the arts and local charities and as a volunteer. Her intelligence was expressed through her clear thinking and interest in literature, current events and financial matters. Ahead of their time, she and Bill embraced a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, which rewarded them with good health throughout their final years. To the end of her life, those who came in contact with her were inspired by her beauty, vitality and poise. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband; her daughter, Cathy and her brothers, Parker, Chuck and Bob Toms.

Flynn, Bernard F. January 21, 1935 - October 10, 2010 Bernard F. Flynn, Jr. died on October 10, 2010, in Sacramento, CA of heart failure. Barney, as he was known by friends and family, was the third son in the family of twelve born to Bernard Flynn, Sr. and Miriam Flynn of Los Angeles. He attended Portsmouth Priory in Portsmouth, Rhode Island and graduated from Harvard University. He also completed graduate work at Chico State and University of California, San Diego. Early in life he developed a love of sailing and the special joy he felt of being on the water continued throughout his life. He joined the rowing team while in Cambridge, and representing Harvard, he became single sculls champion in the American Rowing Association Regatta. Barney lived in Chico for over thirty years and was much involved in managing the family ranch properties known as Shasta View Farms. During this time he became a self taught computer programmer and developed an interest in more natural ways of preventing river erosion. He created a computer model to achieve this goal and this work became the starting point for Flynn and his partner, John Carlon, to launch the non-profit River Partners, which conducts state and federal riparian reforestation projects. Barney's contribution to river conservation led to his award as a finalist for the Purpose Prize in a national competition that recognized his distinguished contributions as an elder 'social entrepreneur' whose work advanced, not personal wealth but the social good. Since retiring from River Partners, Barney has spent the past decade living in Sacramento with his partner, Nancy Plesha. Most of his retirement years he spent doing what he liked best, competitive sailing in the San Francisco Bay. His great joy was being at the wheel of his boat the Triton, with his volunteer crew and enjoying friends from Benecia. Survivors include his partner, Nancy Plesha of Sacramento, his daughter, Elena Flynn of Collingswood, New Jersey, his son, Bernard Flynn, III (Donna) of Orland and his grandchildren, Arthur and Aileen Flynn. He is also survived by his siblings, Patrick Flynn, Rosalie Murphy, Rita Flynn, Michael Flynn, John Flynn, Dr. Thomas Flynn, Cecilia Flynn, and Stephen Flynn; sister-in-law Jane (Vincent) Flynn, and brother-in-law Andre (Mary) Eydt.

Bruce Cummings Veteran Technology Marketer "When it's my turn to go, I want it to happen fast. I don't want to hang around any longer than necessary," Bruce Cummings told a friend on July 4. And so it was. He died on July 30 in Moraga, CA, a few days after being diagnosed with lung cancer. He would have been 64 today. Recognized internationally in the high-tech industry for his channel marketing expertise, Cummings' career began at Kawasaki. By age 30, he was a director of marketing at Vivitar. But it was his role as vice president of marketing at Softsel, the largest computer products distributor later renamed Merisel, that catapulted his career in technology. He was also an executive at Samna, Hercules, and Macromedia. In 1993, he co-founded Portrait Displays, Inc., today the leading provider of embedded software for display technologies. In 1997, he formed a channel marketing consultancy, BCA. For over a decade, he helped major companies identify and implement multi-channel strategies and tactics all over the world. Believing that knowledge should be shared rather than hoarded, Cummings loved mentoring. He also shared his passion for travel and photography with Billie, his wife of 41 years, and daughter Jenny Cummings Wong. See legacy.com for more. |

Cheri Walters 66, of Browns Valley, passed away October 26, 2010. Services are pending with Holycross Memorial Services. |
Cherie passed away in Santa Rosa on Friday surrounded by her loving family after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She was dearly loved by her husband Bob Jones for 33 wonderful years of marriage. Cherie is survived by: husband Bob Jones; children Justin (Carley) Jones, Jonathan Jones and fiancée Rebecca Hunt; parents Alton (Anita) Vanderford; sister Robin (Dennis) Magee; aunt Doreen Kramer; and grandson Jackson Jones. Cherie was also survived by her huge and very special family of uncles, aunts, cousins, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces, and nephews. Cherie was born in Santa Rosa in 1955 to father Robert and mother Anita King. She was blessed with a little sister, Robin, three years later, who she shared a bond with that words cannot describe. When Cherie was six years old her father passed away due to a boating accident in Bodega Bay. This was a very tough time for the family but through this tragedy many special bonds were formed that lasted to the day Cherie passed away. In 1969 Cherie's mother married Alton Vanderford, who raised and continues to love Cherie and her sister as his own blood. Cherie went to Bellevue elementary school, Lawrence Cook junior high school, and graduated from Santa Rosa high school in 1973. During those years Cherie created some wonderful memories and relationships with friends that she held her entire life. In 1974 Cherie was helped out by a longtime friend at a gas station when she was having car trouble. That day was the start of a relationship to the love of her life Bob Jones that lasted 35 years and was blessed with two beautiful children; Justin in 1981 and Jonathan in 1983. Cherie went on to attend Santa Rosa Junior College where she graduated with her associates degree in 1975. Cherie worked for various companies throughout Sonoma County within their Financial and Human Resources departments. Cherie ended her working career with the city of Rohnert Park as an Accounting Specialist. She worked very hard and always gave 100% no matter what the task was, but more then anything she loved the friendships she formed with those she worked with. On September 28th, 2010 after patiently waiting many years Cherie became a grandmother to Jackson Ryan Jones. She was able to be in the delivery room to witness his birth and got to be with him almost every day. Her time with him was to short but every moment she had with him was cherished. Many things were left unfinished in Cherie's life, and at the top of the list was being at her son Jonathan's wedding next May. Even though she will not be there in the flesh we know her spirit will be surrounding us all. Family and friends meant the world to Cherie; she will always be remembered by us for her selfless attitude, huge heart, and her ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Cherie loved to travel and was blessed to see many parts of the world with her family. Some of her favorite vacations were traveling to Italy three years ago with her husband to experience their families heritage, vacationing with the family on various cruises, going on motorcycle trips with her husband and friends, whale watching in the San Juan Islands, the annual Palm Springs trip with Robin and Adrienne, and her favorite place of all was being in Maui with her boys. She also loved spending time on the family boat at Lake Sonoma in the summer. Living in Sonoma County her entire life Cherie built up a great passion for fine wine and loved spending summer days tasting wine at various wineries. Cherie was also a devoted shopaholic; if there was a deal to be had she would find it. She loved going to Ross with her girlfriends and finding the best deals on all the new merchandise. Thank you for sharing your wonderful, gracious life with us, may you now be at peace. You will forever be loved and never forgotten. Friends and family are invited to attend a Memorial Service on Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Daniels Chapel of the Roses, 1225 Sonoma Ave., Santa Rosa. Entombment to be private.

Eugene "Gene" LaBlond passed away on October 21, 2010 at the age of 86. Gene is one of the rare California natives, born in Whittier, Calif. on September 14, 1924 to Joseph Jean and Theresa Margaret (Tuma) LaBlond. Gene attended Whittier High School, Whittier College and the University of Southern California where he played for the Trojans and was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Football was his sport and his favorite teams were the Trojans and anyone playing the Bruins. Gene always had a smile for each person that he met. With that smile he touched your heart; if not his smile his large calming hands made you feel at home. It was on a blind date that he met Cecilia M. Poirier to whom he was married for almost 37 years before her passing in 1997. Gene and Cecilia lived in Whittier for the first few years of their life together before settling in LaHabra to raise their family and continue their adventure. After Cecilia's passing, Gene re-kindled love with his childhood sweetheart, Louise Bishop Hearn. They reconnected at their 55th high school reunion. It didn't take long for Gene to realize that there was a new beginning and he retired to the Valley where he and Louise made Chaparral Country Club their home for the last 12 years. Gene's priorities have always been faith, family and friends. He always strived to give back to his community and country by remaining active until Alzheimer's gained ground. Gene was in the U.S. Navy during WWII on the USS Rall, which was kamakazied. He was active in his home parishes of Our Lady of Guadalupe (LaHabra) and Sacred Heart (Palm Desert). Gene was a member of the Whittier Reserve Police Force, a member of the LaHabra City Planning Commission and active on the board at Chaparral with landscaping and security. For business, Gene remained the essence of a true entrepreneur. As a young man, Gene worked in the Orange Groves lighting smudge pots to keep the trees from freezing. He worked in medical sales before opening a restaurant in Riverside. After selling the restaurant, Gene went into real estate where he stayed active for nearly 30 years as an investor, in sales and as a broker. Customers became more than a commission, they were friends. No matter the role, Gene always placed others first. In our family, Gene was always the silent caregiver ruling with patience and a laid back California attitude. He cared for his mother-in-law through Alzheimer's and Cecilia through cancer and ALS. He did his best to make sure that Louise was cared for and comfortable when he was no longer able. He was always an example to his child and made sure that each knew they were loved for who they are as an individual. Gene is survived by his son, Clark of Jacksonville, Fla.; step-children, Mike Hearn (Jeri) and Tish Riley (Rich); along with his extended family of grand-children, Zach and Kendall Fuller, Allen Riley and great-grandchildren, Hannah and Mallory Fuller. We would like to thank the staff at Brighton Gardens for all that they have done to make Gene smile since he was placed in their caring hands. There will be a mass said in Gene's honor. His family asks that donations be made in his name to any of the following: Odyssey Hospice (71-777 San Jacinto Dr, Suite 102, Rancho Mirage, CA, 92270), Friends of Jacksonville Animals (www.FriendsOfJacksonvilleAnimals.com) or Sacred Heart Church (43-775 Deep Canyon Rd, Palm Desert, CA, 92260).

John Corley, 81, of Palm Springs Calif., passed away at Desert Regional Hospital on Tuesday evening, October 19 from complications following intestinal surgery. John had been a retired resident of Palm Springs for a dozen years, having previously lived in the Los Angeles area where he was an actor. Upon commencing his theatrical career he changed his name from Baty to Corley, a family name, because he was worried that people would mispronounce his real name. John spent his life in the theater since the age of five. He performed in his native Arkansas, New York, on several summer stock circuits and in Europe. He was always extremely serious about his show business undertakings, having not only appeared on stage but in films and television. During the latter part of his life, he participated in several entrepreneurial ventures outside of acting. He did not stop acting once he moved to the desert. He acted in many different productions at The Palm Canyon Playhouse, Groves Cabin Playhouse, The Hi-Desert Playhouse, The McCallum Theatre and The Arthur Newman Theater at the Joslyn Center. He most recently appeared in "The Sunshine Boys" at the Joslyn. One of his favorite plays was "Visiting Mr. Green" and he appeared in three different productions of it. John was almost on a yearly basis a nominee to receive The Desert League's Award for Outstanding actor. He won the honor several times. He will be missed by his large circle of friends and fans. He is survived by a brother, Robert J. Baty of Castle Park, Colorado, and a sister, Lala Pace of Springfield, Missouri. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. |

BAILEY, LENA "LOU" 1928 to 2010 Lena "Lou" Bailey died October 16, 2010 at the age of 82 from complications of heart and lung disease after surviving breast cancer and diabetes for fifteen years. Mrs. Bailey was born in Oreton, Ohio. She is the daughter of Oscar and Lola Woodruff who have predeceased her as well as a younger sister, Beatrice Ann, who died of diphtheria at age five. Lou was very popular and athletic; she was head cheerleader at Vinton High School and played the trumpet in the school marching band. After graduating, she gave back to the World War II effort by making parts for Ranco Binoculars and working as a filing clerk at the Army Depot while taking classes at Ohio State. She traveled to San Diego by train to meet her future husband, Wardell Bailey, by way of a blind date set up by her brother, Carroll Woodruff. It was love at first sight. They were married a few months later in 1946. They celebrated 55 years together right up to the time he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and died shortly thereafter. Wardell was the love of her life and she missed him terribly throughout the reminder of her life. Lou was active with the PTA and other school programs for her two children. She played on a weekend Ladies Softball Team and bowled for many years on the Police Officer's Wives Auxiliary League. Lou was known for her expertise in sewing and crocheting. Her artistic ability enabled her to design her own patterns. Early on, Lou designed yarn creations which were sold in local beauty salons. Later, as her arthritis progressed, her projects became her doctors, dentist, driver, housekeepers, friends, and especially, the homeless. Her crocheted afghans were truly masterpieces in color and texture. She made these with love and pride and they were enjoyed not only for their warmth but for their beauty as well.

CHIPMAN, PATRICIA JANE Born in Pennsylvania August 20, 1929 Went to Heaven October 21, 2010 October 21, 2010, at 7:50 p.m. my Grandma passed away. To many, she would have seemed like just another Grandma. But to us, she was so much more. She lived in poverty as a young girl, was divorced, and after raising three wonderful sons in a two parent household, raised my mother and my uncle on her own. She worked many jobs to secure her children's future. Grandma lived with our family for 18 years in Arizona, Georgia, Florida and San Diego. She loved us all very deeply with a passion. She was the most loving Grandma anyone could ask for. Fifteen years of my life she blessed me with her love and care. She cooked amazing food and did our laundry year after year. She died of heart failure and I only wish I had more time with her. In her lifetime, she rose up past all bad influences and struggles to bring about a loving family. She had five children, Chip (Lucy), Gary (Kathy), Jack (Monica), Lee (Maria) and Jane (Marty); sixteen grandchildren, Eddie, Jason, Andy, Patrick, Jared, Chance, Cameron, Jay, Amanda, Vanessa, Sergio, Brandon, Bradlee, Christopher, Corey, and Caitlin, and five great-grandchildren, Alexia, Cameron, Khloe, Kaylee, and Hailee. She had two sisters, Anna May and Connie, and a brother, Raymond (Trudy) as well as many nieces and nephews who have been such a wonderful part of her life. She died with her family's love and support around her in our home. She will continue to be remembered in my heart for the rest of my days. She died peacefully and is in a better place now. Love you Grandma! (Written by Christopher McAuliffe, her grandson).

Vujovich, Roy November 14, 1926 - October 23, 2010 Roy Vujovich, loved and cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and coach, passed away at his home the evening of October 23, 2010, in North Hills, California. He was 83 years old. He leaves behind his beloved family, an incredible network of friends, and a legacy of love, determination, strength, humor, passion and compassion. In 1943, Roy enlisted in the United States Navy and continued Navy maneuvers in the Pacific for the next three years. After the war, Roy pursued a teaching credential at UCLA. He played football and pole-vaulted at the collegiate nationals in track. He was proud to be on Coach Red Sanders' first football team and lived at the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house. In 1951, Roy continued his graduate work and his position as head football and track coach at Harvard School for Boys. He was delighted to be named head football coach and Physical Education teacher at Glendale High School shortly thereafter. In 1954, Roy's popularity soared as Glendale High School won the League Championships and went on to the regional play-off games. In 1957, "Educational Tours of America" was born. The "share the expense" bus tour of the United States and Eastern Canada with 80 students annually continued for over two decades. His rugged good looks and booming voice also led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in commercials, television and movies as his teaching schedule allowed. In 1962, Roy was honored by the football association of Southern California and by the Glendale community as "Coach of the Year." In 1966, Roy moved forward to teach at Glendale Junior College. In 1967, he accepted a position with a furniture business in San Francisco. In 1969, Roy was simultaneously offered a partnership in the furniture firm and an invitation from the Glendale Unified School District to return to teaching and coaching in Glendale. He opted to return to teaching and coaching, and also resumed "Educational Tours of America" each summer. During the 1980's, Roy successfully pursued a career in real estate and traveled extensively with friends and family. His explorations took him to Maine, Hawaii, the Caribbean islands, Hong Kong, Russia, China, Sri Lanka and Serbia. In 1990, Roy experienced a life-saving quintuple bypass. He decided to fully enjoy his new lease on life and celebrated with retirement and marriage to Christina Holland in 1991. Roy delighted in the company of Christina in North Hills and being a "house husband." It brought him immense joy and a sense of rebirth to help raise his grandchildren, Andrew and Christian Cotter, who lived with them for several years. Poppy and/or Grandpa Roy loved to attend the functions of his other grandchildren as well, including sports games, dance recitals and parties. He treasured and lived life to its fullest, appreciating and focusing on all of its beauty, joy and comedy. He lived, until the end, with compassion, striving to make the road a little easier, or a lot more fun, for someone else. He was, quite simply, a true success. The Vujovich family is indebted to Rafael Magaling, Roy's faithful caregiver, for making his days fulfilling and peaceful. Their mutual love of cooking and food gave them many hours of Food Network viewing, with Roy trying out many recipes over the months. Roy is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Christina Holland Vujovich of North Hills, sisters: Patricia Talbott (Frank), and Beverly Wolff (Harold); children: Christina Marie Norris (Peter), Janja Vujovich Seretti (Philip), Mila Vujovich-La Barre, Bron Vujovich (Ava), Denise Marie Lowe (Kevin), Brian Holland, and Matt Holland; grandchildren: Laura Norris, Chuck Norris, Giovanni Seretti, Branko Seretti, Danica La Barre, Jorja La Barre, Mirjana Vujovich, Christian Cotter, Andrew Cotter, Tyler Holland, Christina Holland; great grandchild: Arabella Seretti, and numerous nieces and nephews hold his memory and teachings close to their hearts. He was preceded in death by his parents and his two brothers, Sam Vujovich and John Vujovich. His ashes will be interred at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California. Services will be private. A celebration of his life will be scheduled at a later date. Contact: Christina Vujovich Vuksie@aol.com Cell: (818) 486-1753 |

Known as "Dick" to his long time friends, passed away in Santa Rosa on October 13, 2010 after a short illness, just shy of his 78th birthday. Dick was born in Weaverville, California on October 24, 1932 to his parents Murten and Laura Hiett. We wrote and rewrote your obituary Dad, but it sounded the same as all the others - what you did, where you worked, the usual stuff. We figured that for anyone who knew you those things wouldn't come as any surprise and for anyone who didn't know you, well, who cares? You would have said that. So Dad, here are just a couple of things for others to know: You loved living in Santa Rosa for over thirty of the past forty years. You asked to be returned to a place close to your birth and to honor your wish we're planning to hike with you to the top of Mt. Shasta next spring. Don't worry; we'll do most of the carrying. There are many, many things we could add, but instead of telling everyone what we know about you, we wanted you to know a few things. First, know that your friends and family loved you, and that we won't ever drink wine at the holidays without wondering if you would describe it as "desperate". Know that during these past few years, when you finally traveled to some of the places you dreamed of, we understand why you said this time in your life "couldn't be better". Know that your children believe, when God came to call last week and even the amazing powers of your favorite tools - duct tape and hot glue - could not have fixed your heart, we're sure you bargained for more time until He finally said "I'll throw in the colored sand". You always loved a deal. Last, if there is something on the other side, know that we wish you an endless hand of heavenly bridge, where skilled players know all the rules, no one ever under or overbids and you never get trumped. We will miss you Dad. Dick is survived by his sons Richard and David, his daughter Pamela, his daughter-in-laws Amy and Gigi; his former spouse of forty years Lynda; his dear companion and traveling partner of six years Dolores Juhnke; members of the Peterson family clan; and his two grandchildren Carter and Hailey.
