Colonel Gerald K. Evans Jr., USAF (Retired) April 13,1929 - Sept. 8, 2019 On September 8th, Gerald passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Gerald grew up in Stockton, attended Saint Mary's College, until enlisting in the Air Force in August of 1949. He was a bomber pilot, serving over 26 years in the United States Air Force in various assignments, but flying was his joy. He met the love of his life, Betty whom he married in March of 1959, who proceeded him in death in 1999. Gerald is survived by his five children, Diane Scissons, Karen Mata, Michael (Rachelle)Evans, Sandra (Steve) Rivera and Richard Evans as well as grandchildren Brian Evans, Jeffrey Evans, Kelly Scissons, Amanda Evans. Great grandchildren Tallulah, Sawyer and Cambria Grace Evans. (Proceeding him in death, grandsons Matthew Hooten and Alex Scissons.) Gerald retired from the USAF in 1975, and settled his family in Stockton. He was the Manager of the Northern California Grain Exchange until he retired in 1992. He volunteered over 10,000 hours in Stockton Police Department's V.I.P.S. program, and then volunteered until this month, logging in over 20,000 hours in the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department's S.T.A.R.S. Program. He loved talking about his stories of being a pilot, and was extremely intelligent. He liked to joke around, loved his cigars, Doris Day, John Wayne and Murder She Wrote. He loved to show off his memorabilia, and reminded us all he missed the good old days and fishing with his buddies. He believed in patriotism, family, the military and being a respectable man. He had a gruff exterior, but a heart of gold. He missed our Mother everyday of the 20 years he was without her. He lived a full life, and the world was a better place because of him. He was loved, is loved, and will be missed. He flew into the final blue yonder where our Mother, Matthew, and Alex were all waiting for him.

Dolores J. vonBerg

Dolores J. (Sullivan) vonBerg passed away on September 7, 2019 at the age of 89. Dolores was born in Sonora, CA on February 22, 1930 to Timothy Sullivan and Hilda Bergstrom Sullivan. Both families are recognized by the Tuolumne City Historical Museum as pioneer settlers. Dolores lived for many years in Tuolumne City, CA, graduating from Summerville High in 1948. Dolores was married to Victor vonBerg from 1949 until his passing in 2012 and has lived in Lodi from 1954 to the present.

Dolores is survived by her son Steve (Carol) and daughter Lenore Nies (Larry). Dolores has a granddaughter Tami Somera (Ed) and two grandsons, Brett Von Berg (Nicole) and Eric Von Berg (Elishia). She has four great-grandchildren, Jacob Somera, Sarah and Paige vonBerg, and Ryker vonBerg. Dolores is also survived by her sister Melody Sullivan Burns, the Burns family, and members of the Nies family. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and great-granddaughter Gabrielle Somera.

After graduating high school, Dolores worked in the Tuolumne County Recorders Office for several years. With the birth of her children, she became a stay-at-home mom, remaining active as a room mother and PTA officer at Lincoln School in Lodi. In 1970 she attended Humphrey’s Business School, and after receiving her certificate of completion, she was immediately hired by Lodi Unified as a personnel secretary. She spent over twenty happy years there, making numerous friends along the way. Many teachers credited her for being a positive influence on their careers.

Dolores loved big band music and going to the Riverboat on the Delta. She also enjoyed dancing, even though she was an amputee since early childhood. As a child she spent many months recovering from surgeries in the Shriners Hospital in SF, never letting her disability define her as a person.Dolores and Victor loved animals, especially dogs. They fostered/adopted many dogs for PALS and Animal Friends. 

The past nine years Dolores has resided at The Ashley Place/Balance. She loved playing Bingo, doing word searches, listening to the weekly performers, and making arts and crafts until dementia got the best of her. During this time, she never lost her smile or sense of humor and was a friend to all. We’d like to thank her special friends Curtis, Linda, Scotty, and the Ashley caregivers, especially Veronica R., Michelle, and Melissa O. for their excellent care and comfort. Vitas Hospice also provided excellent care in her final days.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children, PALS, Animal Friends Connection, or Hospice services.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, September 12th, 2019 from 2:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. at Cherokee Memorial Funeral Home, located at 831 Industrial Way, Lodi CA, 95240.

Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the vonBerg family.
