Nancy C. Newman

Nancy C. Newman, age 84, died in Grandview, Washington.  She was a member of a
pioneer Yolo County ranching family, the Griffins, and was also a member of the
Craig and Stephens families.  Nancy was born in Woodland, on May 1, 1916, the
daughter of Joseph R. Griffin and Cassie B. Craig of Winters. 

She lived off and on in Winters between living in Bangladesh, Guam, and West
Sacramento.  She had lived in Washington for 16 years.

Nancy retired from the Sacramento County Clerk’s Office in 1982 and was the
chief steward for the Sacramento County Employees Union in the late ‘70s.

Although she was a member of a family of Democratic politicians, including a
governor and several state senators, she was proud of being the first Republican
in the family.  Her main hobby was politics and she particularly enjoyed
attending political parties with her daughter in Anchorage, Alaska.  Some of her
last words were “Please tell me Bush is President.”  She was a former member of
the National Federation of Republican Women and was currently a member of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, Eldon (MO) Chapter.

Her survivors include her husband Gene H. Newman of Grandview, Washington; her
daughter, Cassie Wisner Hill and her son-in-law, Dr. Richard P. Hill of Osage
Beach, Missouri; stepdaughter, Renee Shelton and her husband Doug Shelton of
Grandview; stepson Greg Newman and his wife, of Salem, Oregon; and a brother,
Joseph D. Griffin, of Davis. She leaves numerous step-grandchildren.
