Longtime Los Gatos / San Jose resident Dorothy A. Smith passed away Dec. 17, 2018 due to natural causes. She was born July 21, 1917 and was 101 years old.

Her life experiences spanned over 9 decades that were comprised of humble beginnings, challenges and hard work.

Her family moved to Los Gatos from Peru, Nebraska in 1868. Dorothy was born in Los Gatos at home at 112 University Ave. She went to grammar school in the building that is now known as “Old Town” on University Ave. At a young age the Alford family settled in Chemeketa Park in a house that is still there to this day. She had five siblings and money was thin and as such Dorothy made most of her own clothes while attending Los Gatos High School. She became an accomplished seamstress. Occasionally she would walk to school via the half pipe covered flue that transported the town’s drinking water from the Santa Cruz mountains to Los Gatos. Remnants of this flue can still be found at the bottom of the east wall of the Los Gatos Creek canyon below Lexington dam.

Dorothy was a member of the Los Gatos HS Dramatic Club as was her most famous friend, actress Olivia de Havilland. Dorothy and Olivia were very good friends and they communicated through most of Dorothy’s life.

She graduated from LGHS in 1934 and then attended San Jose State and there met future husband Burton Smith in an accounting class. They were married April 22, 1939 while Burton served during WWII in the U.S. Navy in the Aleutian Islands and Washington, D.C. developing motion picture film documenting the war effort. During this time Dorothy had her first of two children, Ronald Alford Smith, in 1942. Five years later, Scott Burton Smith was born. After the war and brief stint in Southern California while Burton was working for Kodak in Hollywood, the family moved to Portland, Oregon, returning in 1955 to San Jose where Burton founded Cine-Chrome Laboratories in Palo Alto, a film processing company. Cine-Chrome developed film for Lockheed as it filmed the development of the first submarine launched Polaris missile for the Navy. Dorothy managed accounting for the new company while her sons attended local high schools and college.

Dorothy was active in several church and charity groups such as Charity League where she served as Vice President. She appeared in the Mercury News social column occasionally. Her greatest personal achievement was winning the Golf Handicap Championship at San Jose Country Club. She loved to play bridge and was also well traveled, including trips to Japan, China, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Europe and the Middle-East where they spent two years in Iran which was the jewel of Dorothy’s overseas experiences. The Iran visit however ended during the Islamic Revolution that toppled the Shah and Dorothy and Burton barely escaped with just the clothes on their backs.

Dorothy was always well dressed, warm, generous and sensitive to the needs of other people. She was truly “A Gracious Lady”.

Dorothy is survived by her oldest son Ronald A. Smith (Susie) of Los Gatos and his brother Scott B. Smith (Carol) of Pagosa Springs, Colorado; granddaughter Stephanie Aubrey (Kyle); grandson Colin; and great-grandchildren Austin and Siena Aubrey.

Note: Dorothy was interviewed by the Los Gatos TV station KCAT last year in recognition of her 100th birthday. You can view this video by searching www.youtube.com for “Dorothy Smith KCAT”.

Interment of Cremated Remains: Private.

A fifth generation Californian, Phil was born October 13, 1942 to Lois Sanchez and Martin Sims in Sacramento. He passed away December 16, at age 76 as a result of complications related to Alzheimer's.

Phil spent his childhood in Livermore, graduating from Livermore High. Phil then attended San Jose Community College where he met his future wife, Sandy. He graduated from CSU Northridge with a degree in history.

Phil's plan to be a history professor changed one evening when he confided to a friend that he'd always wanted to be a lawyer.

At Santa Clara University Law School Phil was law school student president and started a small law-school newspaper—which he typed out at home.

After graduating in 1971, Phil joined the San Francisco labor-law firm Davis, Cowell and Bowe. A year later he opened his own practice in San Jose, specializing in labor and non-profit law. His successful practice continued for 40 years before he retired in December of 2012.

Phil loved being involved in the community and was trusted for his honesty and integrity. He was president of both the Santa Clara County Bar Association and Silicon Valley Rotary Club of San Jose. He served as chairman on the boards of the YMCA of Silicon Valley, the Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce and Guadalupe River Park Conservancy. He was one of the founding members of both the Santa Clara County Labor Law Section and The California State Bar Labor Law Section.

He was a loving husband, father, and grandparent. At home he treasured gardening, walking, and yoga. He was happiest spending time with his family.

Phil is survived and adored by his wife of 52 years, Sandy; his sons, Chris (Gina) and Andy (Amelia); his grandchildren, Sophie, Cecilia, Ellie, and Tommy; and his beloved brothers, Dennis, Barry and David.

Phil was generous with his humor, time, wisdom and loving support for all those lucky enough to have him in their lives. He will be truly missed.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10 AM on Saturday, January 19, 2019 at Mission Santa Clara de Asis, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara.

In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the wonderful Alzheimer's Activity Center here in San Jose, https://www.alzactivitycenter.org, or to the Alzheimer's Association.

Though she started her career in journalism, Mary Lou spent most of her adult life working in the field of death and dying at the Centre For Living With Dying, the VNA, and then offering Pastoral care at Alexian Bros. Hospital. She ended her working career by counseling bereaved families for 23 years at the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. She was a gifted teacher and an avid volunteer for much of her life.

Mary Lou was creative, clever, compassionate and wise. She was always generous with her time and her heart. She will be remembered as an artist, a writer, a champion of women, a gardener, a great listener, a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and a loyal friend to so many. Though heaven has gained a very special angel, Mary Lou will be greatly missed.

It is with great sadness that the family of Catherine Charlotte Payne announces her passing after a prolonged illness on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 84 years of age. She died peacefully in her home in Saratoga, California with loving family by her side.

Catherine was born in her beloved Edinburgh, Scotland on March 24, 1934 to Duncan and Anne Bryson. She survived both the great depression and WWII, including being evacuated to the north of Scotland to live with another family until it was safe to return back home. She met her husband, Edward Payne, in Scotland while he was assigned to Kirknewton Air Force Base and they were married on October 3, 1953. The couple relocated to his family’s home in Owensboro, Kentucky where they built a happy life together raising their two sons, Lee and Christopher. She became an American citizen in 1966. Edward died suddenly in 1984 at the age of 52 and Catherine’s life took on a new phase. She spent the last 34 years being the most amazing Grandmother, something in which she took great pride. She traveled extensively with both her son’s families, something that she truly enjoyed. She loved music, flowers, playing the piano, and singing her Scottish songs. She was very intelligent, remained engaged in understanding current affairs, had a feisty personality, but was, above all, always dedicated to her family. She never lost her Scottish brogue and was also extremely fond of a good cup of hot tea with milk! Her life could be summarized by the words family, determination, and education.

Catherine will be lovingly remembered by her sons and daughters-in-law, Major General (Dr.) Lee and Bernice Payne, Mr. Christopher and Sandi Payne; her six grandchildren, Gavin, Garrett, Hannah, Andrew, Jeffrey and Jessica as well as her great-granddaughter, Madeleine. Catherine was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Edward Payne; her beloved sister, Faye Kemp; and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Mrs. Bonnie and Ray McElroy.

A celebration of Catherine’s life was held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Thursday, September 27, 2018 with burial at Madronia Cemetery.

Eleanor Peeler, 82, passed away peacefully on July 26, 2018 with her loving daughters by her side.

Eleanor was born on April 13, 1936 to Elizabeth and Alfredo Tognoli in Pittsburg, CA where she grew up with her brother, Gene, and was surrounded by uncles, aunts and cousins. She loved spending summers at her aunt's motel in Twain Harte, her father's polenta, and was an excellent and enthusiastic student.

Eleanor graduated high school at age 16 and attended Diablo Valley Jr. College and San Jose State where she earned a Journalism degree, created lifelong friendships, and met her future husband, Ken Peeler, with whom she made a family. She served as editor of school papers and yearbooks and had a natural curiosity and love of writing that led to a career as a reporter for the San Jose Mercury News. Later, Eleanor worked at the San Jose Police Department serving the public and assisting officers in the Records division. The friends she met there accompanied her to countless celebratory luncheons and on travels near and far.

Eleanor was generous and kind and loved meeting people. She was thoughtful and considerate – never failing to remember birthdays and was known for her punny sentiments in cards she'd send – even for offbeat holidays. She loved world traveling, reading, playing poker and Scrabble, and the outdoors – particularly San Jose Family Camp where she vacationed for many years, volunteered, and served on the board. She enjoyed listening to Rod Stewart and Italian music, attending live theater, watching San Francisco Giants baseball, dining out, and celebrating holidays.

Eleanor is preceded in death by her partner and high school sweetheart, Edmund Lewis. She is survived by her children, Keri Ojeda (Nicolas), Suzanne Khan (Steven Spina); her grandchildren, Cameron, Jacob and Joshua; her brother, Gene Tognoli; and adopted sisters, Donna Diffie and Carol Peeler. She will be missed by her family, friends, nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 8 at 11am, with viewing starting at 10am at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 1957 Pruneridge Avenue, Santa Clara. Eleanor will be laid to eternal rest in a private ceremony in Sonora, CA.

He attended the Minneapolis School of Business prior to being inducted into the U.S. Army. As a First Sargent in the Army he fought in the European Theater in WWII seeing action from France to the Russian front.

In 1948 he married the love of his life, Monica Boehm—a marriage that lasted more than 69 years. In 1951 Larry and Monica moved to San Jose where he attended SJSU and graduated with honors. After college, Larry worked in the Heating and Ventilating industry for 44 years as a job foreman and later lead designer. He was the lead foreman on many iconic buildings in the south bay and peninsula. He was a craftsman of the highest level and knew how to work with sheet metal and copper in ways that have mostly been forgotten. He was a guy who could fix almost anything. Many people in need benefited from his “can do” attitude, fix it man capabilities and kind heart. As a craftsman he shared these wise words with his children that had impact beyond the project at hand, “measure twice and cut once”.

Larry was an active parishioner and supporter of St. Martin's Catholic Church until well into his 80's.

Being a loving husband and father were at the center of Larry's life. His devotion to his family was present in all that he did. During Larry and Monica's 69 years of marriage they raised 5 children, Rita Kern, Michael Krebsbach, Rosemary Earl, Robert Krebsbach and Kathy Noordsij and had 8 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

Edgar “Papa” passed away surrounded by his loving family. He joins his wife of 61 years, Martha, who passed away in November. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend. Edgar was born in La Paz, Bolivia and was the second child born to Jose and Martha Velasco. In Bolivia Edgar worked in the travel industry until he and Martha married in 1956. They made the decision to leave Bolivia due to political issues and came to the U.S. arriving in Miami and then traveling cross country to San Francisco where they decided to set up their first home.

Edgar took a job with Pan American Airlines and then worked for Farinon Electric/Harris Corporation for 30 years until his retirement. They had three children and resided in Sunnyvale since 1971. Edgar was very dedicated to his family and friends. He was a hard worker who taught himself many things like home repairs, landscape design, carpentry, and even reupholstering. The word no was not in his vocabulary as he was always eager to help. He was very gracious, social, and loved to joke around to the very end. Whether with family or friends Edgar liked to enjoy life. They had a great group of friends who celebrated birthdays, life events, and life in general together. He was committed to his children and their children; always unwavering in his support and encouragement. Edgar’s other passions were planes, trains and automobiles. He collected cars and showed them at local car shows. He was an active member of the Antique Automobile Association and even became certified as a judge. He could tell you the year and model of a car just by looking at it. He took his family to see the Blue Angels every year and took a flight in a WWII bomber at Moffett which thrilled him to no end.

The arts were also a big interest of his with many trips to the opera and symphony. He always had music on at home, especially classical. He enjoyed photography and taught us all to appreciate the beauty in nature, particularly sunsets. He was a very good artist as well.

Edgar leaves behind his three children, Lillian Calleja (Greg Payne), Ed Velasco, (Mary), and Michelle Kennedy; grandsons, Brandon Calleja, Nicolas and Jason Kennedy, Mario Velasco and his great-granddaughter Lilly Calleja. He also leaves behind his sister Ruth in Chile and numerous nieces and nephews in the U.S. and in South America. His charming and caring presence will be missed terribly by all.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, May 24 at noon at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Los Altos in the St. Clare Chapel.

Aurelia Delgado originally from Tecuala, Nayarit (Mexico) entered into eternal rest on March 13 surrounded by her loving family at the age of 79.

Ultimately her family grew to consist of 14 brothers and 3 sisters, numerous nephews and nieces who all loved her very much. Life on her beloved ranch were cherished memories of very happy times.

She was born on November 12, 1938 to parents Jose and Irene Espericueta. At age 20 she married her husband of 47 years, Joaquin, with whom she built a home and family. They had four children: Joaquin Jr., Mario, Carmen and Sonia. Later, she welcomed and profoundly enjoyed the addition of grandchildren: Antonio, Marcy, Adrian, and Paola and two beautiful great-granddaughters, Sophia and Violet. She never ceased working for her family! How she loved attending her grandson's baseball games, and watching Paola dance at her recitals-nothing brought her greater pride and joy!

Aurelia was a woman of deep Catholic faith who dedicated her life to family and fostering life-long friendships. Her cooking talents were boundless, and her ability to love was endless. Her spirit, warmth and quick-wit will be greatly missed.

Rosary and Vigil will take place on March 21 at 7pm. Funeral Mass is on March 22 at 10am. Both will take place at St. Joseph Cathedral-Basilica, 80 S. Market Street in San Jose. Following mass, she will be laid to rest along with her husband at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Los Altos.

He loved to travel (his last trip was to Africa), and talk about family, sports, current events, and financial investments.The "oldies" were playing (Frank Sinatra, et al.) almost every day in the house, not always to the pleasure of all of the family. He had enjoyed playing golf for many years until back issues forced him to quit. He cherished his time with his two sons and daughter and three granddaughters. He was a devote churchgoer as a long time member of Church of the Ascension in Saratoga.
