"The Davis Enterprise," Monday, June 17, 2002
Lynn Diaz

Lynn Diaz died at her Winters ranch on June 13, 2002, after a painful battle
with cancer. She was 59.

Diaz was born in Oakland and grew up and went to school in Berkeley. In the
early 1970s, she moved to the Davis/Woodland area and began a career in
administration at UC Davis. She spent more than 25 years at UCD, much of that
time in the department of medical microbiology.

Her greatest love was living on the ranch with her husband, Tony, and daughter
Kirsten, and showing quarter horses and border collies. Several of her animals
were named after close friends and UCD faculty members. She was a member of the
American Quarter Horse Association.

She was an intelligent and beautiful woman who was full of life and enthusiasm,
family members said. She had a great respect for nature and had many worldly
interests. She enjoyed reading and was an engaging conservationist.

She is survived by her husband, Tony Diaz of Winters; her daughters, Kirsten
Hempel of Winters and Ellen DeVries of Fresno; her mother, Ann Cross of Carmel;
and sister, Loren Cross-Bello of Berkeley. She also had six step-children: Vicki
Webb of Paso Robles, Scott Diaz of Maryland, Tom Diaz of Woodland, Anita Hadley
of Chino, Catherine Diaz-Khansefid of Elk Grove and Mimi Chavez of Los Alamos.
She also had 13 step-grandchildren.

A private cremation and inurnment will take place. A public celebration of her
life will be from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at her ranch.
