Betty Bloecher

November 12, 1930 – December 16, 2022


Betty Bloecher, beloved and cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and Great grandmother, passed to life eternal with her Lord, on December 16, 2022 at the age of 92.

Betty was born on November 12, 1930, in Ozark, Arkansas to the late Orville and Mary (Dicks) Curtiss and had been a resident of Stockton, California since she began high school.  Betty married the love of her life, Elmer Bloecher, on April 7, 1951. On this day, her amazing life with her “sweetheart” began. Betty was a graduate of Stockton High School and Maude Cornwell’s School of Secretaries. In 1991, she retired following a 23-year career as a school secretary at both the Roosevelt and Tully C. Knoles elementary schools in Stockton.

Betty was an active member of Calvary First Assembly of God for many years and was later blessed to have worshipped at the First Baptist Church in Stockton. Betty especially loved gardening, camping, and hiking in the Sierra mountains, and any adventures that involved her family. She made every occasion special and was a wonderful cook and cake decorator, as well as an artist.  Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer, in 2013, and her infant brother, Harold, in 1926.

She leaves behind her loving children: Cathy and Chris Jarvinen of Folsom, Ca, Ernie and Gracie Bloecher of Aromas, Ca, Julie and Mark Colbert of Aptos, Ca, and her dearly loved eleven grandchildren and their spouses, Ryan (Amy), Zach (Laura), Matt (Kim), and Brandon (Hanna) Jarvinen; Daniel (Christine), Katie, and Eric Bloecher; Alison (Sean) Sullivan, Christian (Courtney) Colbert, Nathaniel (Ryan) Colbert-Powell, and Kelly (Johnny) Jove. Betty was blessed with eight (soon to be nine) great-grandchildren: Forest and Jack Jarvinen (children of Ryan and Amy); Adrian and Leanna Jarvinen (children of Zach and Laura); Cora and Coen Jarvinen (children of Matt and Kim); and Elis, Lolo and baby Sullivan (children of Alison and Sean). Betty is also survived by her dear brother-in-law and wife, Bill and Betsy Foust, and her much-loved nieces and nephews. 

Betty was a remarkable woman, loving daughter, beloved wife, mom, grandma, and great grandma. She served her family well by setting an example of a godly wife and loving mother. She made wonderful friendships at her schools, her church, and in all areas of her life. She will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her but will forever be in our hearts!

Committal will be held at Cherokee Memorial Park (14165 Beckman Road, Lodi, CA) at 12:45 on Monday, January 9th, 2023, followed by a Memorial service at First Baptist Church, 3535 N. El Dorado Street, in Stockton at 2:00pm.

Marion Peters

September 20, 1929 - December 12, 2022

Marion J. Peters passed away peacefully on December 12, 2022, in the presence of her four children. She was born on September 20, 1929, in Kerman, California to James and Ruth Johnson. Marion attended Fresno State College graduating with a Home Economics degree in 1952. She moved to Coalinga, California to start her teaching career at Coalinga Junior High School. One year later she met the love of her life, Louis Peters. They were married on November 20, 1954, and soon started a family. Marion left teaching in 1957 to focus on raising her growing family. In 1969 she and Lou moved their family to Stockton where Lou became a counselor at San Joaquin Delta College. As their youngest child entered junior high school, Marion resumed her teaching at Sture Larson Continuation School where she taught Early Childhood Development and Home Economics. Never one to accept the status quo, she expanded the Home Economics curriculum to include a food service program, creating lunch-ins for invited guests and special events. Her classes also produced a recipe book which was updated many times. In retirement Marion lived a happy and active life making sure she got to travel with Lou and spend plenty of time with her family and friends. Active in charity, Marion spent many days helping out the Assistance League of Stockton. One of her favorite things was to auction off fine dinners with a group of friends dubbed the Gourmet Chicks. Truly a gourmet cook, Marion’s apple pie recipe was picked up by the Associated Press for national recognition. Marion was preceded in death by her beloved husband Lou. She is survived by her son Mark and wife Michele and children Christine and Eric, her daughter Maggie Lujan and husband Steve and children Matthew, Callan and Mathew’s wife Candyce, her son Matt and wife Cilla and children, Andrew, Christopher, Samantha and Andrew’s wife Bin and children Kai and Jay, and her son Martin and wife Heather and children Lucas, Riley and Hannah. Marion is also survived by her sisters, Doris Voice of San Mateo and Marilyn Allred of Cloverdale.

A Celebration of Marion’s Life will be held on Tuesday, December 27, at 12:00 noon at Elkhorn Golf Club in Stockton (1050 Elkhorn Dr, Stockton, CA). The family will have a private family interment at Cherokee Memorial Park earlier that morning.
