1969 Obituaries

Teresa Barrera Sheckler

	Tess took her life in 1998. She and I were married in 1979, then divorced, then remarried. She began having problems with manic-depression in the late 1990s. We divorced again in 1996. Two years later she reserved a room at the Sheraton Hotel by the San Diego Airport and shot herself. Unfortunately, this not uncommon for manic-depressives. She is survived by a son who is 31 years old and lives in San Diego. Her remains were cremated. We took them to Cozumel, Mexico and – according to her wishes – scattered them at sea in front of the La Ceiba Hotel. It was her favorite place Phil Sheckler

Janet Marie Wright

March 20, 1951 - July 22, 2004

Surrounded by her family, Janet finished her 10-year battle with cancer and won the ultimate prize - a place in heaven. The 2nd and widely-believed favorite daughter of Paul and Lorraine Wright, she was a native San Diegan and “certified beach babe” in her youth.
Janet completed a four year apprentice program to become a journeyman instrument mechanic and worked at the Naval Air Depot North Island until her retirement in 2001. She is survived by her loving mother and wonderful caregiver Lorraine Wright; tolerated sisters and special brothers-in-law Kathleen and Richard Vanesian and Michelle and Augustine Gomez; doted-on nephews Michael and Thomas Gomez; and countless friends. Many thanks to Sharp Hospice especially: Raphael, Mariel, Gwen, Soloman, Sandra, and Betty who provided great care to the entire family. Janet fought her illness with dignity and unique sense of humor. We'll never forget her or her "Nana-isms". So in her words, "Having fun now, got to go."
