Julie Hilt

February 16, 1928 - June 23, 2022

Julie Ann Hilt (Bootie), passed away peacefully at home on June 23, 2022 at the age of 94. Julie entered this world as the fifth child of Daniel and Mary Gallego, in Pacoima, CA on February 16, 1928, one year before the great depression. Although the depression lasted through her early childhood, mom always reflected back that those years spent working with her parents and siblings in the fields of Riverbank, CA, were the best of her life.

For 94 years, family was always the core and focal point of her life and soul. Mom’s unconditional love shined through her service for others. She worked for 30 years serving others at the Fiesta (as owner), Carmen’s, Porfi’s and Miguel’s Mexican Restaurants. She then went on to work 20 years with children at Stockton Unified School District as a bilingual aide. Mom was very skilled at painting ceramics and creating flower arrangements. She loved fishing, camping, and of course, the slot machines. Mom was an influence to her family and friends with her faith in God and was a beloved Godmother (Nina) to many. She lived her Cursillo Retreat in her 80’s and grew her love for many close friends throughout her life; closest among her were Pumpkin, Ali, Sharon, Sally and Annella. Her cooking skills, especially tamales, were taught to many family members and friends alike. Mom was the last surviving sibling of Daniel and Mary Gallego and the Matriarch of our family. She is greatly loved and will be abundantly missed. May God bless all of you and keep each of you in His loving arms. Vaya Con Dios!

,

August 11, 1941 - June 19, 2022

Diana Fay Quenzer passed away Sunday, June 19th, 2022 in San Ramon, California with her family by her side.

Diana was born on August 11, 1941 in French Camp, California to Herbert and Hulda Quenzer. She grew up in Stockton and on a dairy farm in Galt. In 1959 Diana and her family moved to Sunnyvale, where Diana graduated from Sunnyvale High School in 1959. In 1986 Diana settled in the San Ramon Valley, where she lived for over thirty years. Diana spent the last ten years with the love of her life, Robert Young in El Cerrito, California.

Diana was a trailblazer for women of her era, with a vibrant career in the aerospace industry.  After working for Teledyne Ryan in San Diego for 5 years, she dedicated 34 years of her life at Lockheed Martin. There, she earned many awards working on countless projects as a technician, including the Milstar and the Hubble Space Telescope, the ABL Space Station, the Gravity Probe B gyroscope, and Star Wars Laser Program. Her proudest achievement was her work on the NASA Viking Project, which was the first U.S. mission to land a spacecraft on Mars to take photographs, collect data, and look for possible signs of life. We are thankful for her service in advancing the boundaries of science and the defense of our country.

Diana was also very gifted when it came to creating beautiful spaces. Whether it be gorgeous gardens and lush landscapes where her love of plants and flowers were showcased, or creating masterpieces with wood or macrame, her meticulous eye for detail dazzled us all.

Diana loved her children and grandchildren most of all.  She was a hardworking, devoted mother who did so much for her children. Diana was admired for having a bold and brave personality, and she never shielded away from speaking her mind. She was loved by so many for her humor, kindness, love of the Lord, and her beautiful smile.

Her life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children: Lisa (Josh) Herrero of Livermore,CA; Timothy (Jessica) Louie of Martinez,GA; and Cheryl Louie of San Ramon, CA; her step-daughters Susan Schaaphok of Keno, OR and Teresa Carrol of Anacortes,WA; and her grandchildren Hannah, Olivia, Tommy, Ronin, Kelly, and Kate.

Diana was proceeded in death by her mother and father, Herbert and Hulda Quenzer, her bothers, Henry and Timothy, and her beloved sister, Elaine.

 

Diana will be laid to rest on Friday, July 8th at Cherokee Memorial Cemetery.

Brenda Qualls

October 15, 1950 - June 13, 2022

Brenda Joyce Qualls was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and devoted Christian. She left this world on June 13, 2022 at the age of 71.

She was born to Kermett and Nadean Wheeler on October 15, 1950 in Arbyrd, Missouri. She moved with her family to Lodi, California in 1952. After graduating from Lodi High School in 1969, she met the love of her life, Roland Qualls. They were married for 52 years. Together they had one child, Shirley. Brenda was a proud Grammie to her two grandchildren, Miranda and Joseph and loving mother-in-law to Don. She was preceded in death by her brothers Kermett and Cecil, sister Patricia, mother Nadean, and father Kermett Sr.

Nothing was more delightful to Brenda than spending time with her family and fur babies. One of her greatest joys was being able to retire from the professional service industry to provide child care for her grandchildren. She spent countless hours playing with them, helping them with schoolwork, and providing them with numerous life lessons and opportunities. She enjoyed many camping, boating, and fishing trips during her life and was a fierce competitor at family game nights. She was an avid reader, a lover of musicals and classic movies, and always rooted for the underdog. Brenda took a genuine interest in the lives of others. She thoroughly enjoyed learning about their lives, and she offered support in any way she could. She never missed an opportunity to show her support for those she loved with a warm hug, a kind word, a listening ear, or a beautiful smile.
