Johanna DeTomasi Obituary
Resident of Millbrae
Johanna "Jackie" DeTomasi left this earth to join her beloved husband on August 1, 2014. She was 90 years old.
She was the devoted wife to Felix DeTomasi for 71 years. She is survived by her daughters, Marie Siddons and Alena Christopherson (Robert). She was a dear grandmother to Dawn Weinzatl (Brian), Shawn Siddons, Gina and Tracy Christopherson, and great-grandmother to Jessica and Tiffany Weinzatl. She truly appreciated the importance of family and friends. Her door was always open to welcome anyone wanting a delightful conversation and a home cooked meal.
Jackie came from humble beginnings. She was born on May 29, 1924 in Oregon. At the age of 7, she moved to South San Francisco. She met and fell in love with Felix while attending South City High. They married in 1942 and raised their family in Millbrae. She dedicated 48 years as cafeteria manager at Taylor Middle School.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life service on Friday, August 8, 2014, 1:00 PM at Chapel of the Highlands, 194 Millwood Dr. at El Camino Real in Millbrae. The family would appreciate memorial contributions be given to Sutter Care at Home (www.SutterCareAtHome.org) or Muttville (www.Muttville.org) in her memory.
