Arlyne Dinizo Obituary
May 8, 1937 ~ October 10, 2018
Longtime Resident of San Lorenzo
Fondly known as "GG", and a proud Breast Cancer Survivor, left us much too soon on a beautiful bright and sunny Fall morning.
Left behind to grieve are her children, Viki Raab (Gordon) and Scott Dees (Rhonda); granddaughters, Kristina Bradford, Courtney Husk, Melissa Rice, Shelby Roth and 10 great grandchildren. Also survived by step children, Stephen Dinizo, Patti Salinas and David Bass; adopted daughter, Cindy Woodbury. Not to forget her faithful companion, Lola. She also leaves behind many friends and extended family.
She is now joined in eternity with parents, Donald and Ruth Biever; husband, Anthony Dinizo; son, David Dees; stepson, Don Dinizo; Best Friend, Pat McElroy; and her 4 legged daughter, Sassy. Resting now forever together in the arms of Michael Bass, whom she called her "Soulmate".
Arlyne lead a rich and bountiful life filled with travels, camping, volunteering at "Treasures" and the Castro Valley Women's Club but, mostly bringing happiness, joy and love to everyone she met. Her greatest joy and accomplishment was her family, whom she loved and adored with all of her heart.
In lieu of flowers, Arlyne specifically requested donations in her memory be made to the Breast Cancer Society, Diabetes Foundation or Wounded Warriors.

Vicki & Scott I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a beautiful person and she always made me feel welcomed when I would go see her with my aunt Barb. I send my prayers to your family and ask the Lord to give you strength during this difficult time.
I had met both of you many years ago when I was in my teens I am Babs eldest niece Lynette.
