Evelyn Henrietta Rego

Passed away peacefully at Creekside in Santa Rosa on September 2, 2010 just a few weeks shy of her 96th birthday. Born on September 28, 1914 in Oakland, California, Evelyn was one of eight siblings. At the age of 16, she proudly graduated one year early from Castlemont High School in Oakland. She worked as a waitress/cook, and she also worked at Montgomery Ward for many years. She was a spunky lady, loving, independent, and strong. She loved gardening, especially roses, and never let a leaf fall out of place in her yard. She enjoyed playing games with her family, Yahtzee a favorite. She loved listening for hours to her husband Vic's beautiful operatic voice. Preceded in death by her dear husband Victor Rego and beloved son Charles Schaefer, she is survived by her remaining two beloved sons Daniel Schaefer and Wm. Mike Lucey. She is also survived by her devoted grandchildren Tamra "Tami" Park, Aaron Lucey, and Tiffany Gonzales, and by her great-grandchildren, Jonah and Evelyn Lucey, Sophia Lizarde and Jacob Gonzales. We love you and will miss you!
