She also volunteered at Faria School when it opened, serving as a room mother in her children’s classes and volunteering to sell juice bars every Friday at the school with no cafeteria.

Once her fifth child began school, Marge volunteered with Children’s Home Society, helping to care for infants in a county hospital. She gave up that role when she delivered her sixth child, at 44, and became a full-time mom.

She and Joe volunteered together and independently in the community. They helped found Belles and Beaus, raising money for the Santa Clara County Mental Health Association. They served as leaders of Cupertino National Little League, he as president, she as treasurer, and were active in Monta Vista High School’s PTA and Booster Club.

She volunteered at Los Gatos Community Hospital for 30 years. She served as chair of the Girl Scout cookie drive several times.

Her greatest cause was her family, and she attended all of her children’s and grandchildren’s games, dance performances, speech tournaments and theatre productions. There wasn’t a student event she didn’t volunteer to chaperone and transport students to.

Marge was known for her cooking and her hospitality. She and Joe enjoyed sharing their home and backyard pool with friends, and their Fourth of July parties were legendary with 70 people or more.

Marjorie Jean was born to Frank and Clara in Wheeler, Ore., where her father was a scaler for the lumber mill and her mother was postmistress and pianist for silent movies. The family briefly lived in Tacoma, Wash., then moved to Salem, Ore., where she graduated from Salem High School.

She met her future husband as a journalism student at the University of Washington, where she pledged Kappa Delta Sorority and remained a member. She earned her degree from Washington and worked as a reporter for The West Seattle Herald until Joe returned from World War II duty, completed his degree and began his newspaper career. He later went to work for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, which moved the family from Washington to California.

Marge Gilbert is survived by five children, Maureen, Kirk (Teri), Annette Iwamoto (Stan), Lori and Chris (Tisha), two grandchildren, Kelly (Jesse) and Brett (Tian Tian) and three great grandchildren (Audrey, Zach and Dash).

Interment of Cremated Remains: Calvary Catholic Cemetery, San Jose, CA

On February 6th, the anniversary of our mother‘s passing, our brother Joseph John Eaton (Jay) passed away at the age of 63. He was residing in Milpitas, California at the time of his death.

Jay was born on June 27, 1959 in San Jose, California. He graduated from Gunderson High School in 1977 and then attended San Jose City College where he received a degree in electronics and a minor in music.

Some great memories are of Jay’s trumpet playing years. He had been in several jazz bands in his younger years winning many awards and honors. He was a big jazz enthusiast, some of his favorite artists included Miles Davis and Doc Severinsen. His 40+ year work history was in Santa Clara County and occasionally overseas. He worked as a senior electronics engineering technician and eventually bought his own company “Dance Music Productions.” Being a DJ suited Jay’s personality and he became very successful for many years before selling his business. Those were happy times for many years with his wife Lucia Aviles and their sons, Joey and Kevin. There were always large family gatherings with great Nicaraguan food, lots of dancing and parties, holiday gatherings and fun memories that will always have a special place in all our hearts.

Jay’s life then took on some turns and he eventually made plans to leave California and move to Thailand. This is where he met Ann. Ann and Jay began their life together with a ceremonial wedding and they later welcomed the birth of their daughter, Sammy. Jay loved his new family and wanted to stay in Thailand though he could not find work. One year later Jay returned to California.

The families share their sadness at Jay’s passing and hope he has found eternal peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. We love and miss him.

Jay was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Francis Eaton, and mother, Margaret Caroline Eaton.

He is survived by his love, Ann Thepnuan, and their child, Sarocha (Sammy) Thepnuan; Jay’s two sons, Joseph Robert Aviles, Kevin Michael Eaton and his spouse, Allyson Marie Eaton; Jay’s 3 grandchildren, Joseph Robert Aviles Jr., Mia Love Aviles and Henlee June Eaton; his sister, Leslie Eileen Canal; his brothers, Christopher Robert Eaton and Mark William Eaton, and his nieces and nephews.

You are welcome to attend Joseph Eaton’s memorial service which will be held at Santa Teresa Catholic Church 794 Calero Ave. San Jose, California 95123 on March 15, 2023 at 11:00am.
