Edwina Park (nee: Dean)
Edwina D. Park entered into rest in her 100th year on October 17, 2009. A native 
of Sutter County, Ca. Edwina was born to Edward P. and Edwina S. Dean at their 
home ranch on August 3, 1909. An accelerated student, she graduated from Sutter 
Union High in 1926 and the University of California, Berkeley, in 1930. An extra 
year of studies resulted in her receiving a secondary teaching credential. After 
three years of teaching high school in Biggs, Ca. Edwina wed the love of her 
life, J. Frank Park of Modesto, California. In 1934, they moved to Los Angeles 
where she was devoted to raising her family and community service. Edwina 
volunteered thousands of hours to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the 
Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Edwina was an inveterate traveler beginning 
with travels to Mexico in the late 1940's, the Caribbean area, Western and 
Eastern Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, Russia, Africa, South America including 
Antarctica. She traveled to over 100 countries. Edwina is survived by her two 
siblings: sister, Shirley Schnabel, brother, Edward S. Dean, MD, children: Dean 
H. Park of Sacramento, California (Marilyn Park) and Diana P. Ashbrook of 
Melbourne, Florida (Rafael Tolentino). She will be missed by her loving 
grandchildren: Catherine P. Taylor of Sacramento, Margaret E. Park of Moreno 
Valley, Suzanne M. Park of Roseville, William Temple Withers Ashbrook, III of 
Vacaville, Bradley J. Ashbrook of Wellesley, Massachusetts and seven great-
grandchildren. The family thanks Sunrise Assisted Living for their loving care.
