The Bakersfield Californian 
Juanita Elizabeth Alving
Services: March 19, 11:00 a.m.

Juanita Elizabeth Alving was born in San Jose, CA on December 25, 1909 and 
passed away quietly in her sleep on February 6, 2005, at Pilgrim Haven in Los 
Altos. Juanita is survived by her husband of 70 years, William Alving; her 
brother, Jay Eitel of Atherton; son, John Alving of Seattle; daughter, Marjory 
Alving of Los Altos; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was 
the daughter of the late Warren and Clara Eitel, formally of Los Gatos. 
Juanitas grandparents were early Santa Clara Valley settlers who traveled to 
California in covered wagons during the late 1850s. 

Juanita was active in many organizations during her busy life. She was a 
staunch conservative and belonged to numerous Republican groups. She was very 
involved in San Mateo county politics. Juanita was also concerned about the 
environment and led the fight to save Sugar Loaf Mountain and worked hard to 
support the original Save the Bay and Save the Redwoods organizations.

After graduating from U.C. Berkeley in 1933, Juanita and Bill made their first 
home in the East Bay followed by a move to Southern California during WWII. 
They also lived in Bakersfield, CA and Salt Lake City, UT before settling for 
good in San Mateo in 1963 where Juanita taught history for many years at 
Burlingame High.

She had many good friends and enjoyed her monthly bridge groups. She was an 
excellent cook and will be remembered for the special leg of lamb dinner she 
prepared for family gatherings.

Juanita was a life member of the American Association of University Women 
(AAUW) and was a leader in that organization wherever she lived. She will be 
missed by all who knew her.

A memorial reception is planned for March 19, 11:00 a.m., at the Pilgrim Haven 
Fellowship Hall, 373 Pine Lane, Los Altos, CA 94022. 

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to: AAUW San Mateo Branch 
Education Foundation, P.O. Box 1239, San Mateo, CA 94401. A private interment 
will be held at the Tulocay Columbarium in Napa, CA.
