Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Wolford family.

Dale Wolford passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, January 11, 2019. 

Dale was born July 23, 1957, in Oakland, California, to Wallace and Jane Wolford.  He came early and came with an unexpected surprise – a twin brother.  Dale and his brother were children number 3 and number 4 of six.  Dale’s family moved to Ohio for a few years when he was 7.  They returned to California and settled in Castro Valley.

Dale was an avid Boy Scout and made Eagle Scout when he was just 13.  His favorite part of scouting was the  hiking and backpacking.  He loved the hiking through Yosemite and Lake Tahoe and the challenge of the 50-milers.  He enjoyed working at the Diamond O Boy Scout camp in Yosemite in the summers.  He always supported the Boy Scouts as an adult.

Dale’s other love was scuba diving.  He and his brother Paul took scuba diving lessons as teens and learned underwater photography.  Dale and Paul spent many weekends scuba diving in Monterey and practicing their underwater photography.  Dale also loved to dive in Hawaii and Florida and the Channel Islands.

Dale met his lifelong partner, Ann, in high school and they were married in 1982.  They enjoyed 37 years of married life filled with lots of adventures, travel and love.   He was so happy when they adopted their daughter Caitlin in 1993. He enjoyed fatherhood and she was his pride and joy

In 1991, he started his own company A & D Rubber Products and ran it out of his garage initially.  Today, 28 years later, it is still going strong.  It became a family affair with both his wife and daughter working with him in the business.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents Jane and Wallace Wolford.  He is survived by his wife Ann, his daughter Caitlin, his sisters Lynn Dinstell (Steve) and Tracy Leinen (Mark) and his brothers Lester, Jack, Paul (Marrianne) and his nieces Laura, Jenna and Megan and nephews Kevin, Ian, Corey and Jack.

Bobbie Witham

October 5, 1934 - January 6, 2019

“I am honored to take a moment to tell you about the life of our incredible Mother.  It is a life that is lovingly remembered.”

Bobbie Jane Reeder was born in Kentucky October 5, 1934. Had wonderful parents Obie and Ruby Reeder. A couple years later she had a sister Billie Marie.

She got married to George Eastham in 1955 and had 3 children, Debra Terry Eastham, Cynthia Ann Eastham and Joseph Paul Eastham. George and Bobbie divorced, and she married Arlan Witham.  In 1964 they had one child, Christine Ann Witham. The whole family moved to California. Lived in Santa Rosa for a bit and then moved to Lodi California. Her and Arlan later divorced.

I remember that my mother always worked hard, was dedicated to anything she did. She worked as a Secretary for many years but found a factory job at the PCP can plant which she just totally loved and continued there until she retired in 2001. Mom was a task master. She taught us at a young age responsibility, accountability, to respect ourselves and others. She was also a pet lover, we had cats and dogs to love and take care of all our lives. She was always a very thoughtful person teaching us this also.

Mom always told us wonderful stories of her young life, planting gardens (which she also taught us), learning to drive with her Dad, the fun she had in high school, going to Coney Island, going to dances, the list goes on.

She also went through some very trying times in her life. The passing of her Father in 1964, her son Paul in 1976, her daughter Christine in 1986, Mother Ruby in 1994, sister Billie in 1998. She persevered and just kept going. She was a strong woman and that taught us to be strong.

In 2002 Mom was diagnosed with dementia and then just a few years later the dreaded diagnoses of Alzheimer’s. As she slipped away slowly to a place we didn’t know, we could tell that 99% of the time she was in a happy place. She would still sing, whistle and talk even though we didn’t understand her words. It didn’t matter to us, as long as she was happy, and we could still see her smiling face.

Today we no longer see that smile…..
