Beverly was the keyboard player in our high school all girls’ band. Ramona Najimy was on drums and Laura Weiss played the flute. I handled the mike, bass guitar and tambourine. We made LOTS of noise in various garages – a group’s gotta practice, you know -- and actually had some gigs. I remember a Honeywell company picnic and a Lebanese ethnic thingie that Ramona got for us.
Beverly was a quiet person in real life, but a ROCKER while in the band. We did a lot of Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, and the Beatles You get the idea -- really ‘60s.
Beverly, you were cool. I wish I would've stayed in touch.

Regards,

A proud-to-be native of San Diego, Jeannie was born October 25, 1950 to the late Lambros and Constance (Dena) Dendrinos. Jeannie Wolfarth was the granddaughter of the late James and Bessie Stefanides and niece to Peter and Tasoula Spartalis of Redondo Beach, Calif., with first cousins George and Chris Spartalis, also of California. Her first cousin on her father ' s side is Minas S. Manias of Vathy, Ithaca. Her grandfather was a partner in the Seven Seas Locker Club downtown San Diego. Her mother worked at Food Basket on Fairmont and University Avenue for over twenty years. Jeannie ' s family loved San Diego and her roots here were strong. Jeannie was a 1968 graduate from Crawford High School. In those days, she was known as the "Cher" look alike. After high school, she attended Pacific College where she became proficient in medical transcription. In the early seventies, Jeannie lived in Ocean Beach and enjoyed all that the beach life had to offer. She met her loving husband, Bruce, of over twenty-five years, while walking at Sunset Cliffs. Bruce and Jeannie were married August 5, 1978 at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Jeannie and Bruce headed off to Alaska after they were married and spent almost three years there before returning to San Diego in 1981. Jeannie started Medi-Type, a transcription service that met all the transcription needs of over twenty different medical offices and hospitals. One of Jeannie ' s most special joys was watching her daughter, Ariana, now fifteen, grow to love animals like she did. Jeannie saw Ariana take a third place ribbon in her first major three-day equestrian event. Jeannie was very proud of her daughter Ariana and loved to watch Ariana ride her horse, Pawlee. Jeannie was very proud of her Greek ethnicity. Learning from her mother and her Yia-Yia, Jeannie became an excellent cook of Greek foods. Her domathes, lemon soup and Greek chicken were wonderful taste treats. Her house was always filled with the scents of great food and the laughter of close friends. Jeannie touched so many lives with her sense of humor and her outstanding ability to lend an ear to her friends and perfect strangers. She made a routine of working out at Valley Athletic Club in El Cajon even when her health was declining. Even though Jeannie was often in a great deal of pain, she did not complain nor want anyone to feel sorry for her. Therefore, her almost seven year bout with breast cancer was kept from most. Her husband Bruce quit his work and cared for his wife Jeannie during this period. It was not until the last week of Jeannie ' s life that San Diego Hospice stepped into the picture. Jeannie died peacefully January 14, 2004 at her home in Singing Hills. Close friends, family, her animals, and the wonderful San Diego Hospice staff were present at her passing. Jeannie would want everyone to celebrate her life as she knew it. Committing herself to God, healthy food and exercise, love of San Diego, family, friend and her animals were Jeannie ' s fingerprints on life. We will miss her beyond imagination.

Bill passed away, having been diagnosed with cancer the previous November. He graduated from San Diego State with the intention of becoming a teache, then decided to pursue a law career and graduated from Western State School of Law. He was a partner in the Solana Beach law firm of Weeks, Kaufman and Johnson. He was active as a Boy Scout leader and baseball coach, and was instrumental in the establishment of the Crawford High Foundation. He is survived by his wife Camille, daughters Melissa Johnson of Fort Bragg, Brooke Johnson of San Diego, son Seth and mother Doris of San Diego.

Our loving son gave up a brave fight with his mother and father, Warren and Dottie, holding his hand. With a tear in his eye he kissed his precious Holly, of nine and a half wonderful years, goodbye. John was a godly and spiritual man who loved life and loved helping people – especially children. John leaves behind his beloved wife, family and many who will remember him fondly. As long as life and memory last, love will always live in our hearts. The family wishes donations be made to the Cancer Society or Children’s’ Hospital.
