Desiderio Juan Tafoya Resident of San Mateo Our father, Desiderio Juan Tafoya, will always be remembered for his devotion and for his undying love for our mother. On November 29, 2010, he was reunited with our mother, Socorro "Coco" Tafoya, who passed away in 2008. Those who knew him and loved him affectionately called him "Junior." Junior was born June 6, 1944, in Las Vegas, New Mexico. In 1957, he moved to Redwood City, California, with his family. Over the years, the Tafoya family would grow. Junior married our mother on September 13, 1968, and instantly became the father of two children, who he loved and raised as his own. Together, they raised three children; Richard Thomas, Nancy Venezia and Desi Tafoya. As a father, he provided a calm stability to the household. He was the caregiver when his children were sick and the handyman/mechanic when the house or car needed repairs. No matter what his family needed, he was there with his unconditional love, support and acceptance. For 30 years, he provided for the family by working as a fork lift operator at Heublin in Menlo Park. During that time, he became a father-in-law to Susan Thomas and John Venezia. He also became a grandfather to Wendy Thomas, William Thomas, Whitney Thomas, Wesley Thomas, Amanda Venezia and Gino Venezia. His grandchildren remember him as the definition of a kind and gentle grandfather. He retired in 2004, and moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with our mother. Three years later, our parents welcomed their great-grandson Rylan Burnette. After the passing of our mother, our father lived in San Mateo, where he met many new friends and loved ones. He recently returned to the family home in Puerto Vallarta where he lived his last days. Junior is survived by his six sisters, Tomasita Monta¤o, Maria Rose Tafoya, Katie Tafoya, Barbara Soria, Toni J. Griffin and Priscilla Rangel.

Jewel Esther Thorpe passed away peacefully November 26, 2010 in the comfort of Five Palms care home Santa Rosa. She was 89. Born August 14, 1921 to a 4th generation pioneer family, Jewel's birth was a surprise to all including Dr. Miller as she followed her twin sister's delivery by a half-hour. Jewel's childhood began simply enough along side her brother Jim, sharing her early years with her twin sister June living in the old Coleman home ranch on Fitzpatrick Lane, followed by the Buckhorn Lumber Mill on Coleman Valley Road. She very much enjoyed living in a multi-generational home which included her brother Jim, sister June, parents Bill and Mandy, grandparents Bill and Jennie Thorpe and her Uncle Charlie Thorpe. Through the numerous relocations which continued until high school, Jewel was able to enjoy and call various cities and towns located throughout Sonoma County her home. Jewel especially enjoyed spending time at her Aunt Esther and Uncle Spirito Ballatore's ranch in Valley Ford. Through her years of schooling, sports were a familiar activity which both sisters truly excelled and thoroughly enjoyed. She graduated from Healdsburg High in 1941. Following high school Jewel settled down with the love of her life, her late husband Leslie Claire Chenoweth whom she married on January 27, 1942. It did not take long before the young couple found themselves in Branscomb, California, where Les found work in a lumber mill. The young couple's first joy came the next year with their first daughter Patricia June Chenoweth. Only a few years apart did their second addition to the family arrive with the birth of Joan Arlene Chenoweth. With young children in hand Jewel and Les moved to Bodega to begin construction of a sawmill with Les's father Hardin T. Chenoweth, later to be known as Chenoweth & Chenoweth Lumber. With the addition of Bill Chenoweth in the family business the mill was most well known as Chenoweth Lumber. On a one acre piece of land next to the mill site Jewel and Les built their home in 1952. Over the years they raised their two daughters to adulthood and Jewel was fortunate enough to call this house her home all her life without having to move ever again. Jewel loved the country, the many pets the family shared over the years, and the town that truly felt home, Bodega. Steadily over the years another passion developed, photography. Chronicling her family's holidays, daily activities and vacations to Clear Lake, Jewel amassed a fortune of photo albums rich with smiles and a path that followed the birth of a twin to Mandy Thorpe in 1921 and trials and tribulations that followed life in the 1920's to the blessing of love with her husband Leslie and raising two beautiful daughters. To be a part of Chenoweth Lumber was a great pride of hers and something she never shied away from talking about. In May of 1985 another joy presented itself in the form of Jewel and Les's first and only grandchild, Steven Chenoweth Rach. The new grandparents couldn't have been happier and her camera was there every step of the way to capture their joy. In her adult life Jewel became an avid animal lover both domestic and wild all of whom she cared for and called her pets. In her later years her true love for felines blossomed. She was a familiar face at Pet Care and feed stores across Sonoma County. During the summers her home became engulfed with flowers from her large Rhododendron garden which she was very proud of. In the most recent years Jewel was pleased to see her grandson carry on the family's lumber tradition beginning in 2003. Jewel was a 50 year member of Order of the Eastern Star, Sebastopol and princess of Nefri-Ari Temple (No. 17) Daughter of the Nile in Oakland. Jewel was never short of laughs and smiles and those smiles and her recognizable laughter will never be forgotten. Jewel is survived by her twin sister June Campbell; her daughters Patricia Aho, Joan Chenoweth; and her grandson Steven Chenoweth Rach; and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her brother Jim Thorpe and her loving husband Les, whom she shared 45 years of marriage. The family would like to thank Heartland Hospice and everyone at Five Palms for their loving care of Jewel. A Visitation will be held on Monday, December 13th from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. at PARENT-SORENSEN MORTUARY, 301 S. Main St, Sebastopol, 829-5433. Friends and loved ones are invited to join together at the Union Hotel, Occidental on December 14th at 2:00 p.m. to share in the life and love of Jewel E. Chenoweth. Private Interment.

Joe Santino was a man of many hats during his four decades in Avenal: council member, mayor, active community participant and volunteer. He even played Santa Claus., But it was newspaper work that was the longtime passion for Santino, who died unexpectedly Sunday in Coalinga at the age of 69., "I think he found his vocation in life when he became involved with [newspapers]; he just loved doing that," wife Arlene Santino said Tuesday., The Santinos began their run in newspapers at the Coalinga Record in 1982, with Arlene serving as a writer and Joe freelance writing and reporting on sports while also shooting photos. Joe Santino later served as sports editor and photographer for the Avenal Progress from 1996 until the publication ceased operation in 2007, and was still shooting photos for the Buccaneers football team this fall., After decades of covering Avenal sports teams, Santino made many friends of the young athletes and their parents at the high school.

Lillie Bell Jenkins was born Lillie Bell Ingram on October 27, 1925, in Boley, Oklahoma. She was the third child born to the union of William Ingram and Gracie Gayles. Lillie grew up in Boley, Oklahoma, a famous all-black town in eastern Oklahoma noted for the black enterprises that existed in the community during the early part of the twentieth century., Lillie graduated from Boley High School in 1944, one of the 14 graduating seniors. Upon graduation, she went to Langston University in Langston, Oklahoma. She was enrolled in an extension training program for the job of aircraft mechanics maintenance specializing in aircraft sheet metal. Today we call such people "Rosie the Riveter," because such people like Lillie, built the aircraft that helped the United States achieve victory in World War II., After completing her course work - "her basic training" - at Langston University on October 20, 1944, Lillie began working on aircraft at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. On April 28, 1945, Lillie B. Ingram received an "Award of Emblem for Civilian Service" in recognition of her "contribution to the successful prosecution of the war effort through faithful, and satisfactory service over a period of more than six months with the War Department ...", While working at Tinker, Lillie met a rather brash young man named Everett Jenkins. Lillie and Everett did not get along at first, but on a dare, Lillie invited Everett to a Valentine's Day Party. In 1945 Everett proposed to Lillie while at the train station, before being shipped overseas for service in occupied Germany. Everett asked Lillie to wait for him, and she did. Lillie and Everett were married for 55 years, from this union there would be five children., In 1957, Everett and Lillie were transferred to George Air Force Base, near Victorville, California. Lillie liked the area, so they bought a house, the "pink house," and have lived there ever since. Upon settling in Victorville in 1957, Lillie joined the First Missionary Baptist Church, and was a member for the remainder of her life. Primarily a homemaker, in 1966, Lillie again joined the civil service. She worked at George Air Force Base Dining Hall as a dining room attendant from 1966 to 1975., Lillie passed away on December 1, 2010, at Victor Valley Hospital surrounded by her family. Her husband, Everett Jenkins; her parents, William Ingram and Gracie Gayles; her sisters, Ruby Wisner and Euradell Hickman; and her brothers, Colbert Ingram and Marvin Hunter, preceded her in death.

Longtime Ventura resident Lorraine Ballance passed away peacefully in her sleep, at home, early on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 25, 2010. She had a long and eventful life, and will be missed by her family and many friends., Born April 12, 1922 in Bethel, Mo., Lorraine was the only child of William H. and Bessie Fox. She had fond memories of her early years in Bethel, where her grandparents owned and operated a general store. When the depression set in, Lorraine and her parents moved to Washington, D.C., where her parents were able to find work. During her girlhood in Washington she lived on a street with six other girls her age, and for the rest of their lives, they all remained lifelong friends., With Lorraine's passing all but one of these friends for life are now gone. Lorraine married Lieutenant Chester F. Lowe in 1939, and their son, Christopher R. Lowe, was born in 1943. Sadly, Lieutenant Lowe was killed in 1945 at the end of WW II. For the next several years, Lorraine lived with the Lowe family, moving from Denver to New Orleans to Lawerence, Kan., where she attended The University of Kansas for two years., In 1948, she married Richard L. Ballance, and their daughter Karen was born in 1949, followed by a son, Kurtis, in 1950. Richard and Lorraine and the three children moved to Ventura in 1955. Lorraine and Richard divorced in the early 1960s, but Lorraine and her children remained in Ventura. She went back to school at Ventura College, and then went to Cal State Northridge, where she finished up her education and obtained her teaching credential in 1964. She taught for one year at El Camino Elementary School in Ventura, and the following year she transferred to Saticoy School, where she taught third grade for the next 18 years. While teaching in Saticoy she made many friends who were very important to her for the rest of her life. After retiring in 1982, Lorraine enjoyed traveling, going to plays and musicals with friends, playing bridge with various groups, bowling, some volunteer work, and many other activities. She also kept in touch with and frequently visited friends and relatives in many parts of America., Lorraine's health began declining in 2005, starting with a broken hip, but she continued many of her activities for the next several years, and still enjoyed a wonderful quality of life. She had been suffering from congestive heart failure for several years, and in the fall of 2010, her condition declined rapidly. Right up until the end of her life, she was still enjoying visits from friends, enjoying an occasional outing, reading her newspapers, and remembering old friends and days gone by. She still had many friends who cared about her, and they, along with her family, will have many fond memories of her., Anyone wishing to honor her memory should make a donation to either Friends of the Ventura County Library, or the Ventura Chapter of Mended Hearts, two organizations she believed in and was involved with right up until the end of her life. |

After his service in the Navy, Ralph enjoyed a 36-year career with the Simi Valley Unified School District until he retired in 1985., Ralph started out driving school buses and ended up managing maintenance operations for the entire district. It was not unusual for Ralph to bring his young child along when driving a school bus (Thom) or moonlighting as a water meter reader (Carol). A man of few words, Ralph was modest and understated, quietly going about his life and helping others without a fuss, occasionally sharing his dry wit and sage advice. Ralph worked hard and expected nothing less of those around him. He was resolute in his ways and very dependable., Ralph stayed on the straight and narrow and his frugality was legend. On one occasion, he bought a derelict travel-trailer from a shepherd for $75 and restored it during late nights and weekends. After the renovation, Ralph parked the trailer at the beach a few weeks every summer as a home base for Fran and the kids' adventures, even if Ralph could only visit after work. The trailer also became home base in the desert where the family would ride motorcycles off-road. Always, the children's friends were invited and welcomed along., Ralph enjoyed the outdoors, and shared that love with his family. Ralph and his oldest son, Thom, enjoyed fishing and camping in the Sierras. When the Boy Scouts first allowed girls to join, Ralph was there with Carol and accompanied her on many backpacking and camping trips over the years. Later, Ralph supported Gary's advancement through Boy Scouts, rarely missing even a weekly meeting. Whether it was fishing and camping in the Sierras, riding motorcycles in the desert, assisting Boy Scouts, or long summer road trips with the family, Ralph would make a plan and just do it. Even after retirement, Ralph and Frances continued the tradition of long road trips in their new RV, visiting friends and family around the country., Ralph is survived by Frances, his wife of 62 years; son, Thomas Chamberlain (Lori) of Los Olivos; daughter, Carol Jones (Danny) of Arroyo Grande; youngest son, Gary Chamberlain (Marge) of Simi Valley; seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and countless friends., Ralph was preceded in death by his parents and his only brother, George. Ralph will be missed by those who knew him., A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11 at St. Paul The Apostle Catholic Church, 800 Bello Street., In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to your local food bank to help those who have little. |

Ramsey Bancroft Fowler, born November 10, 1957, passed away December 1, 2010. Ramsey was a loving and devoted father, boyfriend, son, brother, uncle, teacher and friend. His family moved to Apple Valley in 1964 and Ramsey attended local schools from grades two -11, when he moved to San Marino in order to swim CIF during his senior year. After graduating from San Marino High School in 1975, he attended the University of California at Irvine, where he joined the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Ecology. He returned to the High Desert in 1982 to make it his permanent home., Ramsey leaves behind his beloved daughter, Jenna; his loving girlfriend, Patty; his parents, Anne and Clark; siblings: Robert, Kathleen and James; many nieces, nephews, and loved ones., His almost 20-year teaching career encompassed Yucca Loma, Rio Vista and - most recently - Vanguard Preparatory School. Ramsey loved his students, but - because of the enormous respect he had for the benefits of a good education - he held them to the highest standards and strived to make the educational process fun. One of his most memorable years came at Rio Vista when his daughter, Jenna, was in his class., Ramsey was a fun-loving, caring and unique person, passionate about those he loved, but with great compassion for the less fortunate. His on-going donations to the homeless and helpless were a hallmark of his life, but one he never spoke of with others., Music-lover and aspiring pianist, Ramsey became the lead singer with The Bottom Dwellers, a local rock band, but continued to enjoy the many sports that drew him back to the desert. Running, biking, swimming and tennis were among his favorites, but he was an undefeatable master of backgammon as well. A conduit of energy with a smile on his face and ready wit from his lips, Ramsey was always the life of the party, an instigator of fun and mischief, whose playful spirit brought joy to all those around him. He was passionate and stubborn in his opinions, a strength that he carried over into his personal relationships., Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 11th at the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Chapel at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, 24000 Waalew Road in Apple Valley, CA 92307 followed by a Celebration of Ramsey's Life at Vanguard Preparatory School, 12951 Mesquite Rd., Apple Valley, CA 92308, (760) 961-1066., In lieu of flowers, an educational trust fund has been established at the Apple Valley Branch of Desert Community Bank in the name of Jenna Bancroft Fowler.

Winnie Clayton Root, 96, died from complications of pneumonia Friday, Dec. 4, 2010, at her home in San Luis Obispo. She was born in Rush Springs, Okla., in 1914, the second youngest of seven children. At age six, the family relocated to the Pomona, Calif., area, and at age 12, several members of the family moved to San Luis Obispo. Winnie graduated from San Luis Obispo High School in 1932 and later attended Pomona College. In 1936, she married Fred L. Gist, and at age 22, moved into what was then her mother-in-law''s house on Mill St., which has remained her home to this day. Two daughters were born of the marriage, Anne Faith Gist and Judy Hope Gist. The young couple was active in the business, political and social fabric of the city. Fred, in his father''s real estate and insurance businesses, served on city committees and also one term on the city council. The marriage ended in divorce, and seven years later Fred was lost on his annual fishing trip to the High Sierras. Winnie loved the ocean and traveled extensively on passenger carrying freighters; once down the West coast of South America, then to the summer Olympics in Japan in 1964, and most memorably, a seven month trip around the world. She was probably happiest in her gardens, and until recent years, could be seen working in her garden every day. Her efforts were recognized by Obispo Beautiful as well as many passers by. Winnie was a charter member of the SLO Golf and Country Club and although she took up golf late, she became a rather capable player. She was the Ladies Club Champion in 1964, won the first of the annual grandmothers tournaments and about 30 years later, tied for first in that event, but was carded out. She was also the first woman to make a hole-in-one on what is now the 17th hole at the Club. Reluctantly, she gave up golf at age 85. She often said that golf saved her life. In 1970, she married Charles "Put" Root, a retired, Medical Officer. They shared enthusiasm for gardening, golf, travel and the San Francisco Giants baseball. Winnie is survived by her husband of 40 years; daughter, Judy Anslinger and her husband; five grandchildren and their spouses; nine great-grandchildren; and a great-great grandson. Also by her husband''s family: three daughters and their spouses; two granddaughters and their spouses; and one great-grandson.
