–Dorothy Ann (Keyser) Holman, 89, of Paso Robles passed away on September 16, 2018 in Sacramento, CA.
Dorothy was born on January 11, 1929 to Augustus and Margret Keyser in Creston California and into a pioneering family with a long and rich history.
Her great-great-grandfather was a Dr. Scott, who, after graduating from medical school in Scotland, migrated to America and became a practicing physician in Iowa. After retiring from his practice, he returned to Scotland where he died. Her great-grandfather, Johnston Scott, also of Iowa, was a farmer, mechanic, machinist and an engineer. Johnston Scott was one of the few early farmers in Wilson County who had a blacksmith and machine shop. Johnston also ran one of the first threshing machines in Kansas. In 1883 he migrated with his family to California, stopped for a time in Santa Cruz county, moved to San Luis Obispo County, finally locating at Creston in 1885 where he worked as machinist and engineer. Her great-grandmother was Elizabeth Brown, a native of Missouri and a granddaughter of a pioneer of that state who traced his ancestry back to Plymouth Rock and the landing of the Pilgrims.
Dorothy’s Grandmother, Mrs. Rosa E. Scott, had a first marriage to A. Keyser and was blessed with three children; Augustus, a mechanic and blacksmith; Elza, a blacksmith in Chino; and Oscar, who died at the age of seventeen.
Mrs. Keyser’s second marriage was to Jonathan Vinton Webster. Mr. Webster, along with Mr.’s Phillips, Cressy, Ambrose and Adams, bought the Huer-Huero ranch, which was subdivided to suit their needs as well as the wants of incoming settlers.
By Rosa Keyser’s marriage to Jonathan Webster she had one child, Jonathan Vinton Webster, Jr. who was only three at the time of his father’s death. Augustus Keyser quit school to work on and save the ranch. After her death in 1963 the Vinton, Jr sold the ranch and it became The Chandler Ranch.
After Augustus Jr. marriage to Margret Dresser, daughter of Frank and Sarah Ann Vincent Dresser (Sarah is buried in the Dresser Ranch Cemetery) he frequently had to move his growing family back to the ranch to work as needed. It was in that big white house that Dorothy was born.
Mom was the fourth child of six; Augustus, Jr. (Gus); Rosa; Earlyn; Elza (Bud) and Judy, who passed at 6 months. She always lamented that she was the last of her generation.
Mama met and subsequently married Ralph Harvey Holman, the love of her life, in September of 1947. They were best friends. Their motor home was always ready for the next great adventure, sometimes starting in the middle of the night when one or the other couldn’t sleep. Many times, I’d wake in the morning to find a pink box sitting on the counter. My girls would scream with joy and run for the door knowing Papa and Nanny were there and brought donuts‼ Daddy passed away in 1990.
Mama loved holidays and family get-togethers more than anything; any chance to spend time with her family was important to her. She would spend hours cooking and preparing a feast for her company and we usually had a full house every weekend.
Mom was much loved by all who knew her. She never knew who would be sleeping on the couch or floor when she woke in the morning. Whenever a youngster needed a place to stay for whatever reason they knew it was a safe place. There were three rules: don’t eat it if it looks like dinner, call your Mom and let her know where you are and if you make a mess, clean it up.
Smith’s Restaurant was her home away from home for 22 years. Because Smith’s was across the street from Paso Robles High many kids got to know and love her. Many came to work for her. When I went to my class reunions I was always asked “How is your Mom, next time bring her.” Many told me of how much she meant to them and had changed their lives. Mr. Smith always threatened he would close shop if she ever retired; she did, he did.
Of all her accomplishments, Mom’s greatest achievements have been in the lives of her family and friends. She had a unique gift to recognize and appreciate the talents in others and to make them feel loved and lifted by her presence. Her creative mind, kind heart and brilliant smile allowed her to make everything sparkle. Her generous heart filled her home with love, fun, family and friends, including an attitude that there was always room for one more. She leaves all her children and grandchildren with the knowledge that they were truly loved.
Mom was always proud and excited to be “Nanny” to Sheri and Kristi Sundahl, Jenne and Jim Sarzotti, Robert and Aja Holman, Travis and Jackie Holman, Cori and Eric Becker and Tye and Katrina Holman. She was also Great-Nana to 7 and Great-great-Nana to 2.
She is survived by her children Harvey and Jolene Holman, Lloyd and Cindy Holman and me, Vicki St John. Our brother Paul Holman passed in 2005.
She wasn’t just a Mom, she was my best friend. Thank you for the precious memories that warm my heart. I miss you Mama…
Private services will be held at the Paso Robles District Cemetery.

She met the love of her life while working at the University of Florida. Cecil Meredith Crutchfield and Marjorie were married in 1942, and had 3 children. As Cecil’s career advanced, the family moved from Florida to Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, and finally California. In retirement Marjorie and Cecil returned to Texas for a number of years before moving to Paso Robles in 2000.
Marjorie’s strong Christian faith was always a guiding light in her life, and it sustained her to the end. She was a loving sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She always had a smile for everyone, a quick wit, and contributed generously to numerous charitable causes. In her younger years, she was an avid golfer, and always enjoyed watching golf on TV and rooting for her favorite golfers. She loved identifying the birds that visited her backyard feeders, shrubs and fountain. She also enjoyed doing the daily crossword puzzle and jumble to help keep her mind sharp. Her greatest joy always was visits from her grand- and great-grandchildren.
Marjorie is survived by her sister, Cora Lea Wells of Paso Robles, California, brother O.P. Wells, Jr., of Florida, daughter Evelyn C. Bouton of Gilbert, Arizona, son Richard W. (Rhonda) Crutchfield of Paso Robles, California, grandchildren Marc (Megan) Bouton and Michele (Adam) Bowers of Chandler, Arizona, Aaron (Melissa) Crutchfield of Ridgecrest, California, great-grandchildren Brandon and Claire Bowers, Andrew, Nathaniel and Madeline Crutchfield, and Wyatt Bouton.

We also give thanks to caregivers Vicki, Ophelia and Sophia for their care and support. In addition, we are grateful to the caring staff and nurses with Wilshire Hospice.

–Beverly Ann Delwiche, of Paso Robles, daughter of Norwegian immigrant parents Harald and Gurine Sjovold, died October 27 at Twin Cities Community Hospital, exactly a month before her 88th birthday.

She was active in school events at St. Rose, Shandon 4-H, and Paso Robles FFA, and the San Luis Obispo CattleWomen, and enjoyed helping her children and grandchildren at brandings, parades, and other ranching related activities.

Waldo Carminati.
–Waldo Carminati passed away Nov. 5, 2018 at the Twin Cities hospital in Templeton. He was born Waldo Secondo Carminati on Dec. 5, 1927 to Swiss Italian immigrant parent, Arnoldo and Josephina Carminati and was the 4th of 5 children.
Arnoldo had established a small dairy farm on North River Road in Paso Robles where Waldo spent his childhood. Growing up during the depression had a profound impression on his life. Waldo would often tell stories of his youth and how his brothers and sisters would all go to school barefoot because their family did not have enough money to buy shoes. They entered school not knowing how to speak English as his parents only spoke Swiss Italian at home.
When World War 2 came around, Waldo convinced his father to sign a letter allowing him to volunteer for the service. At the age of 17 he joined the US Navy. By the time Waldo had completed his training the Japanese had surrendered and Waldo spent the next 18 months doing peacekeeping patrols on the Yangtze River in China.
It was ironic that Waldo joined the Navy as he did not know how to swim and was very prone to seasickness. He often lamented that those were the 2 most miserable years of his life.
After coming home from China, Waldo was asked to join a Historic reenactment. The California Historical Society who organized over 70 riders to retrace the route that Portola had taken to establish the California Mission in 1769. The riders started in San Diego and traveled to San Francisco stopping each night at all 23 of California Missions.
While driving north one day Waldo met the light of his life and the Belle of Bradley, Betty June Cass. It wasn’t long until they were married and settled down to raise their 2 daughters, Nanci and Cindy. Waldo was employed as a milk inspector for a local creamery until the creamery shut down in 1966.
In 1966 Waldo applied for a position at the San Luis Obispo County fair as a maintenance worker. This is the same year the young fair manager, Maynard Potter, stepped out and brought in country western super star Buck Owens to our little country fair.
That show was the beginning of a long string of great entertainers such as Merle Haggard, Charlie Rich, Bob Hope, George Straight, Alan Jackson, Hank Williams Jr, and many more world class entertainers that came to our town for the next 30 years.
As facilities manager, Waldo, and his crew of young recruits planted flowers, set up chairs, cleaned up every night, set up for every horse show or livestock event at the fair. Many of the young men in the community still attest to the skills they learned at the Fair under Waldo’s supervision. 10 minutes early was 5 minutes late for a man that expected an honest day’s work from all of his employee. He was known to be stern but always fair. In his spare time and after work he ran cows and calves in the Adelaide and Willow Creek areas.
It was in these roles that the public came to know this special man. He was always on time, would never call in sick and would stay until the job was done. His word was his bond. We will miss you Waldo.
Waldo is survived by his daughters Nanci Bernard and Cindy (Karl) Wittstrom, 5 grandchildren: Randy Bernard, Tami Bernard Nicholas, Chad Carminati Wittstrom, Amanda Wittstrom Higgins and Heidi Wittstrom Sill; 11 greatgrandchildren: Priscilla Bernard Vandenhoek, Alexandria Bernard Barnhardt, Heston Nicholas, Bronson Nicholas, Grace Anderson, Grace Wittstrom, Cody Sill, McCoy Sill, Cooper Carminati Higgins, Cecilia Higgins, and EdnaAnn Sill. He was preceded by his love, Betty Carminati.
In keeping with Waldo’s wishes there will be no public service. He will interned at San Miguel Cemetery next to his beloved Betty.
Wilton Wells Webster Jr.
–Wilton Wells Webster Jr. died peacefully at his home Nov. 10, 2018 in Paso Robles, CA. He was 90.
“Will” was born on Jan 29, 1928 in Pasadena, CA. He graduated from Caltech with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1949. He married Helen Miller in 1948. They were married 67 years and resided primarily in Altadena, CA.
Will was instrumental in developing innovative medical technologies. After working with cardiologist, Dr. William Ganz, on the Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheter, Will went on to found his own company, Wilton Webster Laboratories, later incorporated as Webster Laboratories. He flourished as an independent inventor working in conjunction with noted cardiologists. After success with his Coronary Sinus Blood Flow Catheter, Will worked with Dr. “Sonny” Jackman of the University of Oklahoma. Their collaboration resulted in the first, highly successful electrophysiology ablation catheter. Use of this device enabled the treatment of heart arrhythmias and provided a cure of WPW (Wolf-Parkinson-White) Syndrome and other, more common arrhythmias. This therapy came to be known as radiofrequency ablation and has become the standard procedure today. After rapid growth, Webster Labs eventually became part of the J & J family of companies, known as Biosense Webster.
Later in life, Will & Helen founded the Helen & Will Webster Foundation, providing funding for many critical projects throughout the US, including broadening educational opportunities, food banks, hospitals, libraries and other social entities. The Webster Foundation has quietly touched the lives of many.
Will spent the last 20 years living in rural Paso Robles. While enjoying a quieter life, Will continued steering the Webster Foundation and became passionate about his vineyard and the environment.
Will was a good man who worked diligently to always do the right thing. As Will said in 2014, “It’s never about you – it’s always about what you do for others!” He will be missed.
His son & daughter-in-law, Alec and Claudia Webster; his son & daughter-in-law, Richard Webster and Kimberly Kenne; 5 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren survive Will. He is preceded in death by his wife, Helen; sister, Mary Tyson; brother William Webster; and son, William W. Webster.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Wilshire Hospice, 277 S. St., STE R, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
–Join the Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation in a Celebration of Life contribution, in honor of Danielle Valenzuela.
Valenzuela had a passion for children and teaching the arts. She was an art teacher at the Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation for many years as well as a talented volunteer. Valenzuela’s family would like to raise funds for the Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation to honor her and all the wonderful service she provided to our community’s youth and the arts. Funds raised will be used to dedicate the new art room in honor of Valenzuela, as part of the Youth Arts Foundation’s Expansion Project.
Valenzuela was involved with the Youth Arts Foundation from the beginning. Her passion for the arts shined through her every day. She always looked for new ideas and new opportunities for the kids as well as new fundraising opportunities for the school. The Youth Arts was her happy place. She was an incredible artist and teacher. She always had brilliant ways to engage our students with the process of art. She always said that it’s the “process not the product” and every student would bring to life powerful creations from their heart and soul because of that. She took students on a journey into the world of love, compassion, and endless opportunities with their imaginations. She made everyone laugh and wowed them with what she accomplished. She was a good example for our children and pushed them to believe in themselves.
With her easy-going demeanor and witty humor, she brought joy to all in her presence.
She will be missed by so many friends and students, but her influence will always live on through the walls of our school.
