    Dick Parker died April 14 at his Groveland home. He was 83. The son of Earl and Stella Parker, he was born in Ventura and graduated from San Luis Obispo High School in 1942. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in December 1942, where he was part of the all-volunteer Armed Guard, serving as a merchant ship gunner. He participated in the invasion of Salerno Bay, Italy, for which he was awarded medals of commendation from both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. His gun crew shot down three German torpedo bombers and aided in the destruction of three others.
    After two trips to North Africa and Italy, he volunteered for fleet duty and was sent to the Pacific, for the invasion of Okinawa, with the shore-based fleet hospital. He was honorably discharged as boatswain's mate second class in 1946.
    In 1947, he married Dorothy Awalt. After attending the Jean Turner Art Center in San Francisco, he graduated from Fresno State College in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in commercial art and a minor in agriculture. In 1954, he and his wife opened Dick Parker Shoes in Visalia, where they did business for 36 years, until their retirement. His community involvement included the Kiwanis Club, where he was active in the Miss Tulare County Pageant. He was president of the Central California Appaloosa Horse Club and Tulare County Aircraft owners and Pilots Association; a 56-year member of the Elks Club, the Caballeros de San Luis Obispo, and a longtime member of St. Paul's Anglican Church.
    His hobbies included hunting and fishing, raising Appaloosa horses, roping, snow and water skiing, and having Sunday barbecues with his family.
    After retiring from their shoe business, the Parkers moved to Pine Mountain Lake and became active with the Mountain Lutheran Church, where they were involved in the construction of a new church building. They traveled throughout the United States in their fifth-wheel RV, and traveled throughout Europe, South America and China.
    In addition to his wife of 61 years, he is survived by his sons, Alan Parker and John Parker, both of Visalia; his daughters Denise Roberts, and her husband, Jerry, of Los Gatos, and Darlene Hallberg and her husband, Jerry, of Visalia; and seven grandchildren.

    Sarah Anne Washburn, 92, retired teacher, died peacefully on Nov. 9, 2008 in Palo Alto, CA. She was a graduate of the University of South Dakota in journalism. After graduation she worked as a reporter for the South Side Economist in Chicago, IL. She married Ernest Washburn and became a full time mother of 6 children.

    In 1957 she began her long career in education, first as an elementary school teacher in the Diamond Lake School District in Mundelein, IL, then moving up to Junior High, teaching Social Studies and English. She was employed there for 30 years. Sarah Anne mentored her students, loved teaching and took 8th graders on a week long tour of Washington DC each year for many years. After her retirement, at 70 years old, she moved to California to be near her daughters.

    Sarah Anne designed and had built a unique house on a ridge above the Toulumne River canyon near Groveland, CA. She always had a pioneering spirit and her home was completely off the grid, making use of solar energy and other environmentally friendly fuels at a time when it was not fashionable to do so. Her nearest neighbor was 3 miles away. She loved the sweeping views and quiet wildlife of her rustic habitat. She lived there until health reasons forced her to move to Sonora (for 1 year) and then to Redwood Villa, a retirement community in Mountain View, CA. Throughout her life Sarah Anne was involved in social justice and charitable causes.

    She is survived by her sisters, Margaret Nelson and Patricia Searles (JB); and by her six children, Sarah Kinane (Andy) of Benecia, John (Susan) of Long Grove, IL, Bill of Portland, OR, Judy (Jim Davis) of Palo Alto, Dan (Sandra) of Mundelein, IL and Mary of Palo Alto. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren and a recently born great granddaughter. Sarah Anne has numerous nieces and nephews.

    A funeral Mass will be held on November 17th at 11am at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Palo Alto, CA. Donations should be made to Sarah Anne's favorite charity, Heifer International.
