Wilma Hoernlein Obituary

Born to Helen and Laurence Stetson of Dunnigan, CA on April 23, 1917. Died November 7, 2010 after a short illness in Lincoln, CA. Jane and her husband, Ken raised Lauren, Larry and Terri in Healdsburg, CA. She spent her early days caring for her children and her home. Jane enjoyed golf, dancing, gardening and playing cards with her friends and family. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, doting on two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her wit, verve and candor will be missed and her memory cherished. With Mom, Grandma or "Deet" in your corner, anything was possible. Jane will be remembered where she was married 71 years earlier on Sunday November 14, 2010, 2:00 p.m. at the Union Church of Dunnigan, 3615, Road 89A. Donations to restore the church can be sent to PO Box 174, Dunnigan, CA 95937.

I will remember Jane for her wit and kindness. She always kept me on my toes. She loved her family and was always excited when she would be going over to her grandsons for any kind of get together. She especially glowed when she was going to be spending time with her great grandsons. I am going to miss her greatly. Here's a VO to you Jane.
