Julia "Anna" Settle

Scholar and Teacher, died September 13, 2010 at her home in Santa Rosa after a short illness, at the age of 98. She was born on February 28, 1912 in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Santa Rosa in the early 1950's with her family. A consummate teacher, she taught kindergarten at Village Elementary until she retired in 1975. She then joined the Peace Corps, spending two years in W. Samoa where she continued her teaching. Upon returning home, she did numerous community volunteer jobs in Santa Rosa and traveled the world with friends and family. She was a founding member of the Camp Rose Players in Healdsburg, an accomplished musician, singer and actor, and an avid reader who loved "who-done-its". She always found a good challenge in doing crossword puzzles - "What's a seven letter word for..." was a question often posed. She was pre-deceased by husband Rev. Joseph C. Settle, son Peter Michael Settle and great grandson Torin Grotte. She is survived by her daughters Jane Moore (Bill), Pat Nees (Larry), and Linda Green. She is also survived by daughter-in-law Vickie Settle; grandchildren Michael Grotte (Nina), Karen Grotte (Kareen), Suzanne Webb (Daryl), Jennifer Tremont (Michael), Annika Shawn (Matt), and Ryan Settle; seven beloved great grandchildren: Emma, Lily, Erik, Evan, Juliana, Ella and Owen, and a large loving family of relatives and friends in CA, the East Coast, New Zealand and Denmark. In honoring her wishes, no service will be held. Donations may be made to the Women's Cancer Awareness Group, P.O. Box 5115, Petaluma, CA 94955-5115.
