Dorothy "Dot" Christina Reasoner Huntley

Dorothy Christina Reasoner Huntly passed away in Sacramento on Jan. 9, 2004.

Born on Jan. 17, 1906, in LaGrande, Oregon, she was the youngest of four sisters
and two brothers.  The family moved from LaGrande to Winters in 1908.  Dorothy
graduated from Winters High School in 1924.  She attended Occidental College and
U. C. Berkeley, graduating from the medical school with her BSRN in 1930.  she
married Arthur C. Huntley in Winters on Aug. 4, 1929.

After living in Macdoel for four years, the family moved to Manchester for five
years while Arthur went to medical school at U.C. San Francisco.  When Dr.
Huntley received his M.D., they moved to Sacramento where they made their home
for 40 years.  Dorothy helped Arthur in his medical practice.  She was also
active in early stroke recovery treatment and used her nursing skill to help and
support many.  She was also an active member of the Sacramento Chapter of the
Ninety-Nines, an organization of women pilots.  “Dot” and “Ace” retired to
Manchester in 1980 to the Huntley family homestead, to property that had been in
the Huntley family since 1873.

She remained in the family home until April 2002, when she moved to nursing care
in Sacramento to be close to other family members.

Dorothy is survived by three of her four children, Dr. Arthur Huntley, of
Sacramento, Marie McKinney of Mukilteo, Washington and Barbara Pesavento, of
Manchester.  There are 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.  Her loss is
also mourned by two long-term international students who became an important
part of her life, Mika Abe Tagawa, of Tokyo, Japan and Aky Mashayekhi, of Fremont.

She was preceded in death by her husband in March 2000 and by her daughter,
Dorothy Gundling, in 1998.

A private family service, officiated by the Reverend Albert Reasoner, Dorothy's
nephew, will be held at the family memorial site in Point Arena.
