be told apart. She enlisted in the Army-Air Corp during Word War II, where she
met the love of her life, Ray C. Gaines, at OSC, Pendleton Army-Air Corp Base.

in the Communicable Diseases Division. She retired in 1980. Dorothy was very
involved with her children's lives. She served as PTA President of Whittier
Elementary in the 1950's, was a Girl Scout and Brownie Troop Leader, and a
gifted teacher to her special angel daughter Vickie. Dorothy loved playing

gatherings, and enjoyed her later life roll of Social Butterfly. Two of her
favorite places on earth were Moonstone Beach and the Klamath River near her
hometown of Eureka. She loved her nurses class reunions. She was a true sports
nut, and especially loved professional tennis and NFL football. She

player to earn a perfect week picks. She was a fan of professional wrestling
beginning in the 1960's, as well as a roller derby fan. She also loved NCAA

Johnson II, Calvin Jay
In Loving Memory of our Son & BrotherCalvin Jay  Johnson II 11/6/66 ~ 11/29/93 
Eleven years ago we could never have imagined that at this time we would be
treasuring the precious memories of you rather than welcoming all of life's
adventures yet to be faced. You are gone from our sight, but never from our
hearts. We continue to feel your presence with every breath that we take. In
all of life's challenges, we feel your support and know you are always there
quietly guiding us and paving a path that we may follow. Know that we miss you
and when you were taken from our family, not only did a portion of you remain
here with us, but you carried with you a sliver of our own hearts.  Knowing
you're not far from us, watching over us is what keeps us alive. You are truly
our family's guardian angle. When somebody you adore becomes a memory, those
memories become a priceless gift. Love Mom, Dad, Cally, Cheryl, Mlsty, Vicki
and Jeri
