Renate Doltgen Medina

My wonderful dad, Roy, was born on Oct. 11, 1935, to Maria Gertrude and Guillermo Medina in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. He passed away on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, in Tooele, Utah.

They met and were married on Sept. 2, 1960, in Augsburg, Germany. They were married for 58 years and lived the majority of their lives in Tooele.

My dad served in the United States Army for six years and was honorably discharged in 1962. He worked for Tooele Army Depot and retired after 30 years of service. He enjoyed fishing, woodworking and watching the Broncos play.

My mother worked for several companies throughout her lifetime and retired when my dad did. She enjoyed crocheting and playing bingo.

Together they enjoyed traveling, fishing and taking care of their yard. They were members of St. Marguerite Catholic Church. They were blessed with and raised two children: Elizabeth and William.

I would like to thank the staff at Rocky Mountain Health Care for taking care of my mother for the two years prior to her passing and for the few months that my father was in their care. I would also like to thank hospice for assisting me during this very difficult time. A special “Thank You” to my uncles for their love, support and dedication to my father, mother and myself.

Doloras Jean “Jeanie” Towle was born to Amos Eli Towle and Clarice Elma (Buffington) at home on July 1, 1932, in Furnas County, Nebraska. She was the youngest of three children. She died on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, in Olympia, Washington. She was 86 years of age.

Jeanie attended elementary school in Furnas County, Nebraska, and graduated from high school in Vallejo, California. It was while working at the Benicia Army Arsenal that she met and later married Jack Drinville, the love of her life, on June 29, 1952. To this union were born four children: Debra Ann, Gayle Marie, Betsy Jean and Jacki. 

The family lived in Benicia, California, until they moved to Tooele, Utah, in 1961. During her working years, Jeanie volunteered/worked at East Elementary School, and as the secretary at Stansbury Park Elementary School. After retirement, she volunteered for numerous organizations, including St. Marguerite Catholic Church, where she was an active member.

Jeanie was an avid golfer, and won several championships on numerous occasions. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, and time with family and friends. She had a lively sense of humor, and was a woman who met life with a sense of duty, insight and a bit of spice, within the bounds of being a lady.  

Along with Jack, Jeanie enjoyed exploring the back roads, finding rock, mineral and crystal specimens, and working on lapidary projects from their discoveries, making rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. In their winter home in St. George, Jack and Jeanie created a desert cactus arboretum, which grew from small plantings and samples to large examples of varieties. Jeanie enjoyed the beauty of nature in the desert, as well as in mountain settings. She found a peace within the beauty of creation, which extended her understanding of faith and wonder.

We kids loved coming home from school, coming around the corner and smelling her dinner cooking on the stove from half a block away. She was a good cook. Christmas dinner was at Mom and Dad’s house for many years because no one wanted to miss out on her turkey with all the trimmings, and especially her pumpkin pies with heaps of good, old fashioned, real whipped cream. 

Though Jeanie never played a musical instrument, she had favorite songs and musicians such as Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart,” and we would all sing and dance around the house singing at the top of our lungs while Dad just sat and shook his head.

Jeanie was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her daughters, Gayle and Jacki. She is survived by her husband, Jack; daughters, Debra Ralston and Betsy (Mike) Bacon; eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many of her friends.

A memorial service will be held in Olympia, Washington. A Catholic Mass and interment will be held at St. Marguerite Catholic Church in Tooele, Utah, on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018, at 11 a.m.

Memorials to Jeanie are suggested to be given to St. Marguerite Catholic Church Memorial Fund, or the American Cancer Society.

He was also known as a great storyteller and told funny jokes.

He was very proud of the show cars that he built with the help of his family and his friends.

He was also known for his homemade pancakes. Not many entered our home and left without getting fresh pancakes from Papa Dave for breakfast. He was always there to listen and had good advice for many. His stories and his jokes received all the attention when he was around. He will be greatly missed, and is loved by so many, young and old.

Words cannot express our love and appreciation to the caring staff who often went above and beyond to care for our sweet mother. She loved them and they loved her. Thank you to our hospice angel nurse, Lindsay, who saw us through some very dark and difficult days.

Diane’s greatest legacy was her ability to love unconditionally. She would do anything for anyone. She would always greet you with a smile and a hug. She was always so grateful for all her blessings — mostly her sons and her family. She loved game shows, coloring, word searches, and card games. No one could escape a visit to Diane’s without at least one round of cards.
