COMMUNITYDianne Christie
Dianne Christie passed away peacefully in Roseville, Calif., Nov. 12, 2012. She was 68.
Dianne battled with Parkinson’s disease and brain cancer.
A memo-rial service will take place at 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012, at Hooper & Weaver Mortuary, 459 Hallow Way, Nevada City, and will be offici-ated by Pastor Andy Owens.
Dianne was born in Santa Monica, Calif., but called Grass Valley her home.
She spent the last six years in Roseville at her beloved Mistywood residence.
She graduated from Nevada Union High School in 1962 and attended Saint Mary’s Business School. Dianne worked for at J. C. Penneys, Shop-n-Save grocery and Nevada Union High School. She is best remembered as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, grandmother and friend.
Dianne’s greatest joy was spoiling her grandchildren. She enjoyed her crafts and was an avid seamstress, providing her grandchildren with one-of-a-kind outfits throughout the years.
Her culinary skills were a delight to all those fortunate enough to consume them.
No blue ribbon was spared at the county fair for her gingersnap cookies or world-famous pumpkin cheesecake.
Dianne loved recounting stories of her various travels and sharing memories of her much-loved cruises.
Dianne never enjoyed the shine of the spotlight but would gladly take a front-row seat and enjoy the show.
Although cancer took her much too soon, Dianne was able to enjoy the full benefits of a life well served.
She was surrounded by her family and dear friends at the time of her passing — all of whom thought it an honor to spend those final moments with her.
She is survived by her sons, Tony (Marianna) Davis and Troy (Tracey) Davis; mother Jerre Greenfield; sisters Vicki Hovan and Charmaine Hovan; and four grandchildren, Chris, Meghan, Emily and Sarah.
Dianne was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Christie.
Memorial gifts in Dianne’s name can be made to The Parkinson’s Institute (www.thepi.org).

world Nov. 1, 2012, at the Hospice of the Foothills in Grass Valley, Calif. Born Feb. 21, 1929, to Margaret and William DeJong from Holland and immigrated to the U.S. in 1908. Jack was the last survivor of six sib-lings, raised in Hayward, Calif.
He met his wife Donna at Oakland Tech High school where he was an active member of the gymnastics team.
They married in 1949, and Jack started his carpenter apprenticeship.
As a journeyman, he worked for Batista Construction and built dozens of homes in the San Leandro hills at Bay-O-Vista. He also built homes for his family in Fremont, Castro Valley, Oakland and Incline Village, Nev., and became a licensed contractor in 1980.
The last home he built was in Incline Village where Jack and Donna resided for 13 years before relocating to Grass Valley in 1997.
Jack is survived by his wife Donna and four daughters, Kathleen DeJong Wilson, Connie DeJong, Lyn Reason and Debra Emplit, who were with him in his last days.
He was blessed with seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who gave him the name of “Great Papa.”
Jack’s involvement in the community included the Elk’s Club, the local food bank, repairing the Julia Morgan House, The Wine and Dine Club and The Wagon Wheelers RV Club. He enjoyed traveling with the RV group and most winters Jack and Donna spent six weeks in Arizona.
He was an outdoorsman who shared his love of nature with his family on many camp-ing trips throughout the West.
His fondest memories as a young man were summers in Montana at his older brother Lou’s ranch where he helped build the ranch house and barns, and lived the life of a pioneer.
He inspired a strong work ethic and compassion with a great attitude about life. He
will be missed by many friends and family members.
There will be a life celebra-tion for Jack’s birthday Feb. 17, 2013, at the Elk’s Club in Nevada City.
In lieu of flowers, his wife Donna has asked donations to be made in his name to Hospice of the Foothills.

ASK JUDY
Q. My husband recently died. I have received so many invitations already for Thanksgiving. I know they mean well, but I just don’t feel like celebrating.
A. Be happy that you have so many concerned friends and relatives. But they will understand your not wanting to be involved in their holiday plans. Festivit ies that expend more energy than we have to give can be skipped.
The bereaved can learn to be creative and flexible i n cus t om i z i ng t he i r holiday plans. Traditions bind families and societies tightly to one another. But altering our traditions to suit our current needs m a k e s s e n s e . T h i n k about doing something c o m p l e t e l y d i f f e r e n t th is year — possib le doing volunteer work on Thanksgiving day.
