Born Ada Cornelia "Corrie" Holtzen on November 17, 1921 to Richard F.J., a Lutheran minister, and Ada M. Holtzen in Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. A resident of Sonoma County for 70 years, she left this earthly journey on October 21, 2010. Corrie, along with her five younger siblings, was raised in Canada while her father completed missionary work with German speaking communities in both Alberta and British Columbia. She graduated from high school in Vancouver and, shortly after, was offered a position as governess to a family in Berkeley, CA. While working there she met Neal Isaacson. After dating for two years, they were married in a midnight ceremony conducted by her father on August 23, 1942. Corrie, who had relocated to Santa Rosa to join her family, stayed behind while Neal joined the war effort with the Army Air Corps. After the war, they settled in Healdsburg where they raised their two daughters and were dedicated to serving their church, community causes, civic organizations, and their careers. Corrie's passion was people, getting to know each and every one she met as well as possible. She made countless long term friends through her involvements with her church, the Lions and Lioness Club, and her work. Her careers included working for Richey's Jewelry Store during her early years in Santa Rosa, and then 16 years for the Healdsburg Schools as an attendance clerk and home/school liaison. She found her true calling when, in 1970, she and Neal purchased Holtzen Sunset Manor from her mother. For 29 years she devoted her life to providing a gracious home and loving care to the elderly of the Healdsburg Community. She was predeceased by her husband, Neal, in 1999; her daughter, Carol Clague, in 1988; her parents; brothers Paul and Richard Holtzen; and sister Vivian Schneider. She is survived by her daughter, Karen Richard Membrila; sister, Dorothy Kramer; brother Peter Merle Holtzen; sister-in-law, Lorraine Holtzen; five grandchildren Michele, Kristin, Jonathan, Bethany and Courtney; and nine great grandchildren James, Ryan, Mahlon, Baxter, Tula, Allison, Rebecca, Riley and Samuel.

No formal services will be held. Private interment will be at Santa Rosa Memorial park.

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. She was a founding member of the Queen Midas Investment Club which thrived for 50 years and was also a member of the Town and Country Club of San Francisco, where she was often found at the bridge table. 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. She is survived by her brother, Larry; her son, Parker, and his wife, Laura; and her son, Robert. A memorial service followed by a reception will be held on November 3rd at 2:00 pm at the St. Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco. Contributions in her memory may be made to St. Martin de Porres House Foundation, 225 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA, 94103. |

Bob Kodama Bob Kodama liked to tell people that his Japanese immigrant father tried to name him "Lion". He proved his father Satoru right. Bob led life with the combination of pride and protectiveness of a lion. Till death, he even retained a thick mane of hair. While in high school, he was sent to Tule Lake, Topaz, and a farm in Idaho as part of the Japanese internment. At the end of WWII, he was drafted and helped close down German concentration camps. Bob then partnered with his family to rebuild their lost farming business. They eventually bought land in Yuba City. In 1949, he married Anne Inouye. They raised four children, Cindy Chaponot (Honolulu) (Rick), Greg (Norman, Ok), Nora Winkler (Len), and Diane. For twenty eight years, he reliably got crops to market and employed scores of men. After his early retirement, his wife Anne passed away after a sudden illness. He found love again with Goldie whom he married in 1982. He became the loving grandfather of 5 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Having been uprooted by the internment, Bob had a special love for motor-homing which let him go as he pleased with Goldie and dog Genji. He also loved to fish and clam, often in the company of the Chinese Sportsmen's club. Until middle age, Bob was disciplinarian for farm, home, and even on family vacations. After retirement, he indulged a, never far below surface, gentle side. People remember him as patient and gentlemanly, someone who loved to step up and fix things. He could have been bitter, but wasn't. Instead, he built around hard work and love for family. He made friends easily and left more than he took from life. After telling Goldie how much he loved her, he passed away at home in his sleep on October 22 at 86. The memorial service is private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Asian community center or Mercy Hospital Hospice. Send Condolences at |

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.

Dorothy Olivia Susman, aka "Terry," A long-time Bay Area resident, died Oct. 23. Terry was known for her love of books, classical and jazz music, and wildlife, and for never rejecting a stray cat or dog. Born April 25, 1932 in England, she came to the United States after her first daughter, Olivia, was born in 1956. Terry, her then-husband Howard, and the family moved from Orange County to Oakland after a second daughter, Tina, arrived. Terry remained in Oakland until her death from cancer. Terry began her career with Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, landing a job as a telephone operator despite her British accent. She blazed a trail for women by becoming one of the first to move into the repair side of the business, climbing down manholes, up telephone poles, and wearing a hardhat and tool belt to work. In addition to being an avid reader, Terry loved travel. She returned to Europe at least three times, once with Olivia while Olivia was studying in Bordeaux, France. In 1994, she fulfilled a dream of seeing Africa when she visited her daughter, Tina, a journalist based in Johannesburg. Together, they sailed on the Zambezi, hiked along Victoria Falls, paddled the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and had close encounters with elephants, lions, rhinos and leopards in the South African and Zimbabwean bush. Terry returned with clear memories and many blurry photographs. Terry was preceded in death by Olivia, in 1996, and by her favorite cat, Miss Marple, on Oct. 15. She is survived by Tina, of New York; her devoted brother Richard Terezopoulos of New Zealand; a niece, Mary; two grand-nephews; her dear friend Michael; and many whiskered creatures who knew they could find food waiting for them at her home. In lieu of a service, Terry would like to be remembered with donations to organizations dedicated to wildlife. The family sends special thanks to the nurses at Angels Hospice in Hayward for helping them through her final weeks. |

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).

ALLISON, Mary Emma The U.S. Fund for UNICEF mourns the passing of Mary Emma Allison, co-founder of "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF," who died Wednesday at age 93. In 1947, after a busy Halloween night, Mrs. Allison told her husband, the Reverend Clyde Allison: "It's too bad we can't turn this into something good." This notion grew into the nation's longest-running youth service program, which has raised nearly $160 million and helped save millions of young lives. Our debt is enormous, and we remember Mrs. Allison with abiding gratitude and love. Undoubtedly, the children we serve would say the same, if given the opportunity.

Born in Byars, OK, September 13, 1922, she passed away in Coalinga, October 27, 2010, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her loving husband of 67 years R.J. Rose; her son, Jerry Rose and wife Millie; and her daughter, Judy Rose.

She also has five great grandchildren Tayler and Dalton Grogan, Cameron Grogan, Samantha Mahan and Jackson Lyles of Bakersfield, and a large extended family. Toots came down with polio as a young child and spent much of her youth in a hospital, miles away from home. Doctors told her she would never be able to have children or live a full life. Toots was never one to be told what not to do. She and R.J. met in the 3rd grade where he helped her walk to school every day. In May of 1944, ten years later, they married and moved to California. Toots took care of the house and kids while Rosey worked. After the kids were grown, she joined Rosey and they stayed busy building up their businesses, running up and down the freeway, and spoiling all their grand and great grandchildren. The Rose family would like to extend sincere thanks to neighbors, Chuck and Eloise Vaughn, Gayle White, Millie Rose, and Nurses Becky Schindler and James Semoes with Adventist Health Hospice for their support and comfort. Toots taught us all that a handicap is not an excuse for failure. She was the embodiment of courage, resolve, and generosity. Sleep in peace Toots, until you're raised up perfect in the new world to come.

A host of his long time friends in Willits and Mendocino County will miss the unique personality of Ed Burton who passed away on Thursday, October 21, 2010 following a massive stroke. He was born in Santa Cruz, the fourth child of Robert and Lucy Burton, and grew up there, attending the University of California, Berkeley where he earned both bachelor's and master's of science degrees with a specialty in forestry. He served as a radio operator on Guam in the Army Air Corps in, , and in 1946 he met and married his beloved wife Hattie Ogden. In 1950 the couple moved to Willits where Ed took a job as a forester for Willits Redwood Products. During that time he also taught math and forestry at Willits High School for a year. The couple enjoyed a loving marriage that lasted 60 years until Hattie's death in 2006. Ed had a lifelong interest in turning waste materials into useful products, particularly ones that would address an environmental problem. He developed the Microphor wastewater treatment system that used redwood bark as the media to clean sewage. With the help of local businessmen and investors, including Bob Harrah, this became a successful product and company and was widely used on railroads and ships throughout the world. His 21 patents included ones for debarking logs, improving air quality, as well as many for wastewater treatment. Most recently he sponsored an inventor's workshop to help other inventors convert their ideas into products. Ed was a born teacher. He mentored many Willits High School young men and women who went on to pursue careers in the sciences. His weekly column in The Willits News called "There's a Better Way-Find It!" covered science and environmental issues as well as stories about local people and was a staple and widely read in the newspaper for 30 years. Ed was an active member of the Willits Community. He served on the School Board in the 1950's, was a member of the Willits, for over 50 years and a member of the Masonic Lodge for at least as many years. He also belonged to the Memorial Baptist Church. One of the best-loved community services was his many years as Associate Guardian of Jobs Daughters and the many friends in Willits that he and Hattie enjoyed over the years. Ed also was a dedicated father and husband and will be very much missed by his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his children, Marjorie (Mike) Haselswerdt, Beverly (Jay) James and Bruce Burton (Linda Buletti); his grandchildren, Jacob, Ella, and Annie Haselswerdt, Daisy and Zachary James, and Rob Ernie Burton. They are particularly grateful for his unwavering support and the wonderful memories of Sunday family outings. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews as well as treasured friends, especially his dear friend and dancing partner, Edith Ceccarelli Funeral services will be held at the Willits Harrah Senior Center, 1501 Baechtel Road, on Saturday, October 30, at 11:00 a.m. |

She wanted to leave her "mark of Virginia" so she wouldn't be forgotten…and she never will be. She beautiful smile will be with us forever. Although Mom was always up for a good party, the family has decided to honor both parents at a family reunion at a later date. Her family meant everything to her. She is survived by her two daughters, Vicki Fulton (Jim) of Coeur d'Alene and Holly Arnesen-Sileo (Brett Sileo) of Lafayette, Calif.; four grandchildren, Jill Downer (Jon) of Henderson, Nev., Ami Hoffman (Daren) of Coeur d'Alene, Genavieve and Nicolas Sileo of Lafayette; six great-grandchildren, Chelsea, JD, Lauren, AJ, Emma and Tyson.

Virginia Lea Ruggles, aged 90, slipped away peacefully with her family by her side, ready to rejoin the love of her life, Don., Virginia was born Virginia Lea Fields on April 8, 1920 at Camp Lewis, Wash., the daughter of Lieutenant Jay Melvin Fields and Dorothy M. Graham Fields. When she was about two years old her father was killed in a tragic automobile accident. Shortly thereafter her mother married Benson G. Scott who took on the role of father, eventually adopting Virginia when she was a grown woman., Virginia grew up in Coronado, Calif., attending schools there and graduating from high school at 16 from Bishops Academy in San Diego. She was accepted at Stanford University for the fall class of 1936, and, while on a family vacation before heading off to college, she met Don Ruggles at Lake Edith in Jasper National Park, Canada. Don had also recently graduated, from Oxnard High School, and was on a final solo venture before he, too, began his studies at Stanford. Thus, in the scenic woods of Canada, began a lifelong relationship for Virginia and Don that lasted 63 years, until his passing in 1999., Virginia and Don were married upon graduation in 1940 and they spent another year in Palo Alto while Don obtained his Masters degree. Virginia graduated from Stanford Phi Beta Kappa and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delts) Sorority. Virginia and Don then moved to Watsonville, Calif., where Don began teaching at Watsonville High School and Virginia ran the household., World War II interrupted their new life together and they moved into the Ruggles home in Oxnard to take over the farming operation of the Ruggles Ranch while Dons brother was serving in the Army Air Corps in England. Virginia, now the new mother of Nancy, found herself immersed in rural life in the then small town of Oxnard, and she took to it like a duck to water. A year later their second child, Tom, was born., She had a long relationship with the Sisterhood of P.E.O. and was a charter member of Dilittantes, a Ventura County womens group dedicated to the arts. She loved her music, was an avid reader, and she knitted beautiful and intricate articles. Her love of the outdoors took the family on many camping trips, the favorites being to Yosemite Valley and Strawberry Lake. She was kind and gentle, but she had her stubborn streak too. After the kids and Don criticized an apple pie she had made they didn't see another one for five more years. Needless to say, criticism of her cooking was kept to a minimum after that., Education was very important to Virginia and to that end she did everything possible to ensure that her children and grandchildren were able to receive the best our system has to offer., Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her husband, Don Ruggles., She is survived by her children: Nancy McClellan (Ron), Rocklin, Calif., and Tom (Dr. Gayle Isbell), Ventura. She leaves five grandchildren: Alex Garwood (Christine), Heather Snyder (Aaron), Barry MacHale, Abbie Ehrhorn (Dave), and Scott Ruggles (Michelle). She also leaves six great-grandchildren: Ryan, Adam, and Scott Garwood, Max and Caden Ehrhorn, and Josie Ruggles., Special thanks goes out to Virginias caregivers over the past two years, including Gloria, Carole, Sharon, Otilia, Sarah, Mary, Laurel, and Clemencia. They were wonderful and made her life so much easier., A celebration of Virginias life will be held at Camarillo United Methodist Church at 291 Anacapa Drive on Saturday, November 6 at 11 a.m. A reception at the church will immediately follow. The burial will be private., In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Buena Vista Hospice, Westlake Village, or Meadowlark Service League, Camarillo. |

William (Bill) Tearney of Indio, Calif. was called home on October 22, 2010. The end of his remarkable life was peaceful and filled with those he loved at his side. Bill was born September 23, 1936 in Lackawanna, N.Y. He was the youngest brother of two boys born to Kathleen Tearney.

For thirty-seven years, Bill was a proud and active member of a 12-step program, where he volunteered his time, and love to countless others in need. However, Bill often said he received much more than he ever gave. Bill felt blessed to be part of such a loving and giving organization and he wished to express his love for all those that walked with him along this path. Our dear friend and father wished to convey that his death was due to pulmonary fibrosis. Bill was adamant in his desire to encourage others to aggressively educate themselves on any medical diagnosis. In other words, ask questions and keep asking questions until you have the big picture. |
William P. Willoughby Jan. 28, 1920 - Oct. 15, 2010 On October 15, 2010, William Preston Willoughby left our world for the wild blue yonder. From his beginning in a home in rural Ahoskie, North Carolina devoid of electricity to an iPhone and the Internet, Bill embraced his 90 year existence wholeheartedly and without reservation. He did not amble through his life; he strode purposefully toward his next adventure always looking forward, never back. Those adventures included taking his first plane ride at age 14 with a barnstormer in an open cockpit Waco-F, joining the Navy at age 17, training to become a pilot, flying everything from a P-51 to a B-25 as an Army-Air Corps officer in World War II, working as a commercial airline pilot for 30 years with Slick Airways and Airlift International, and achieving success in a second career as a real estate broker. He made stops along the way to fall in love with Lake Tahoe, have a family, travel to every corner of the Earth, ski the Haute Route, hike Mt. Tallac, make perfect waterskiing beach starts and stops, enjoy some cheese and become beautifully enamored of wine. He plowed ahead, yet not by force, but with determined grace and gentlemanly aplomb. The world did not shape him, instead he shaped his world, molding his existence firmly, yet subtly, taking quiet and deserved pride in his choices. There were many "Bill-isms"--catch-phrases specifically his, spoken in a soft Southern drawl uniquely his own. They were oft-employed and have been oft-repeated by those who knew him. Of them all, one stands out in particular. "If you're waitin' for me, you're wastin' your time." While we'd happily wait for you for eternity, we understand there is no point. You've flown off to your next adventure, wholeheartedly and without reservation. We'll see you when we catch up. Don't drink all the wine. Celebrations of Bill's life will be held at the Lone Eagle Grille, Incline Village, Nevada on October 30th at 3:00pm and at the Vi (Classic Residence by Hyatt), Palo Alto, California on November 6th at 11:00 am.
