Kimberly Goss

August 4, 1952 - July 5, 2020

Kimberly Ann Goss passed away on July 5, 2020 in Lodi, CA after a long struggle with brain cancer. She was surrounded by family and friends. Kim was born to Phil and Dorothy Rainey on August 4th, 1952 in Sebastopol, CA.

Fun in the sun is a good way to describe how Kim enjoyed spending her time here with us. She loved to visit the beach, lake, or even the local pool with her three sons. She and her husband took trips to Mexico as often as they could, where she liked to relax with her toes in the sand. After retiring from her career as a bookkeeper, Kim developed a passion for teaching water safety and swimming to infants, toddlers, and young children, including her own grandchildren.

Kim rarely took time in the spotlight, because she wanted to make sure the spotlight was working and pointed in the right direction. She loved to host parties and gatherings and was always happy to see everyone together and having a good time. She had an ear for listening and an eye for the little things that made her a dear companion to her friends and a wonderful mother and Gammie. She is already and will continue to be missed, but her spirit is finally at rest after having lived a life full of love.

Kim is survived by her husband, Douglas Goss; three sons, Bryan, Blair, and Taylor Goss; two granddaughters, Macie and Zelda Goss; three sisters, Sue Rainey Lighthall, Elizabeth Lee Rainey, and Patty Rainey-Clevenger; and brother, Dave Rainey. Kim is preceded in death by parents, Phil and Dorothy Rainey; and brother, Don Rainey.

An outdoor celebration of life is being held on July 25 at 10:00am at Faith Community Church, located at 18621 CA-99 in Acampo. For more details please visit  www.KimRaineyGoss.com

January 12, 1965 - July 3, 2020

With deepest sorrow, we announce that our beloved Jeffrey Joseph Paustenbach, age 55, passed away on Friday, July 3, 2020 surrounded by family at his home after an 8-month battle with glioblas-toma.

Jeff was born in 1965 and grew up in Napa, CA. He was the son of Raymond Frederick Paustenbach and Shirley Ann Rosano. He graduated from Napa High School in 1983. He continued his education at Sacramento State University where he earned a degree in finance and met his wife, Kim. Jeff and Kim married in 1993 and moved to Stockton, where they raised their two children. Jeff worked in the mortgage lending industry for over 30 years and spent the last several years with Scenic Oaks Funding. Jeff had a passion for helping people and always had a story. He was able to find humor in nearly all aspects of life and was known for his smile and genuineness.

Jeff is survived by his wife, Kim, his mother, Shirley, his children, Ashlen and William, and two brothers, Doug (Lyanne) and Jim (Brenna), along with nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you send donations in Jeff's name to the American Brain Tumor Association.

Ricky Henson

August 8, 1955 - June 30, 2020

Ricky Glen Henson was born on August 8, 1955 in Roswell, New Mexico, to Willie Glen Henson and Amie Lou Henson, and was the older brother to Leigh Henson. When they moved to California, Rick fell in love with Disney, going so far as to work at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Rick pursued a passion for Pharmacy, eventually earning his Doctorate at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.

He began working in a hospital, where he met his future wife, Kathleen Marie Curit. They were married at University of the Pacific, and settled down in Stockton. They adopted a son, Anthony, and two and a half years later Kyle was born. Rick was happy to indoctrinate his sons into the nerdy culture, always having books like The Hobbit and Dune around and providing a constant supply of themed Legos. 

He had a passion for fish and the climate, always concerned with where the world was going. He wanted to ensure that his children had the best life they could ever have. He unconditionally supported Anthony's decision to go to the military, and was a proud grandfather to Kyle's daughter, Adeline. He loved Anthony's wife, Serena, as if she was his own, and provided love and kindness in his own way to his family.

Ricky Glen Henson leaves us remembering his laughter and goofy nature. He left us many memories to remember, and now joins his wife in eternal happiness. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation or the Coalition for Rainforest Nations.
