The Bakersfield Californian 
Di Giorgio, Dorothy Jane     
1915 - 2005 
 
Dorothy Jane Di Giorgio 
Services: Sat., Oct. 22, 10:00 a.m. 

A Rosary and Mass of the Resurrection celebrating Jane Di Giorgios ninety 
years of life will be held Saturday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m., at Our Lady 
of Perpetual Help Church, 124 Columbus Ave. Reverend Msgr. Michael Braun will 
officiate. Jane, who passed away October 17, 2005, was born January 25, 1915, 
in San Francisco, to Elizabeth (Bessie) and James J. Evans, the younger of two 
girls. Always feisty and demonstrating a love for life, Jane met Vincent on a 
blind date while both were attending USC. They were married August 26, 1939, 
and even though they had been happily married for 62 years, Vin remarked 
shortly before his death in 2002 that it had not been long enough. They were 
quite a team and proud that they were the parents of five daughters. In 
addition to attending USC, Jane spent a few semesters at UCLA, and finished 
her college education at Fresno State College where she earned a teaching 
credential all while she was caring for the five girls, none who were any less 
feisty than their mother. Prior to attending UCLA, Jane graduated from Banning 
High School in Southern California and was Senior Class President. 
Furthermore, Jane was a Charter Member of the Bakersfield Country Club, and a 
Directing Member of Cotillion. Although she traveled to the Holy Land, most of 
the countries in Europe, the Caribbean and Hawaii, Jane never let any activity 
interfere with her first calling, motherhood. Presently, the family numbers 58 
people, and Jane never failed to remember a birthday, a baptism, a wedding, an 
anniversary, or a graduation from high school or college. Jane, who, because 
her astrological sign was the rabbit, considered herself lucky, was the 
Matriarch of our family and will be missed deeply. Jane is survived by her 
sister, Phyllis Evans of San Antonio, TX; her sister and brother-in-law, 
Evelyn Di Giorgio and Bill Grant; daughter, Lynne OBrien and husband, Tom; 
daughter, Gayle Dirkes and husband, Tim; daughter, Susan Owens; daughter, 
Kayti Tramel and husband, Phil; and daughter, Jan Sulivan and husband, Tim; 16 
grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. On behalf of the entire Jane Di 
Giorgio family, we would like to express our sincere thanks to Margrite 
Vickers, her caretaker, Doctors Robert Laughlin and Susan Helper, Jill the 
Emergency Room Nurse, and Shelly, Laurie, and Jennifer and the other personnel 
on the second floor of the Bakersfield Heart Hospital who comforted us and 
helped our mother to die with dignity. In lieu of flowers, donations may be 
made to the American Lung Association.
