Adelaide (Daus )(Archer) Sohl (May 5, 1918 –June 2, 2015)passed away quietly just weeks after her 97th birthday. Addie grew up the only daughter of Anna and Karl Daus in Skokie, Illinois with brothers Alfred and Walter (both deceased). Addie was an avid sports fan her entire life, and died hoping this might be the year the Cubs take the pennant. A season ticket holder to the Chicago Bears for many years, she never lost interest in either team despite their disappointing results over many, many years. She listened to sporting events on the radio up to her last days. In her lifetime, she recalled a time before automobiles when children in Skokie literally did walk a mile in the snow to attend school. She left school at the age of 16 because her parents no longer had the daily dime needed to pay for her education. She went to work at Marsh Instruments in the 1940’s as one of the “Rosie the Riveters” making airplane gauges and instrument panels for fighter planes. She was immensely proud of her work at Marsh and even after the war when “the men returned” she continued as one of the few women in the plant and made a lifetime friend, Margaret Tripicchio. She had two children, Donna Jean (Pennington, New Jersey) and Robert Fay (Central Point, Oregon) who were a source of pride as Donna earned the education she lacked and Robert started a successful business. She lost her first husband, Fay, in 1964 then remarried George Sohl (deceased 2002). They moved to Medford, Oregon after retirement for a simpler life yet she always missed the hustle and bustle of the city. She had an active social life in Medford around her dog, Mikey and friendships like Mary Lou and Walter Stallcup. Addie was an excellent baker whose German chocolate cake, and shaumtorte recipes have been admired for years.
In her last five years, while still fiercely independent, she did rely on the loving care and watchful eye of daughter-in-law Beverly and son, Robert as well as the attentive staff at Northridge Center.
In addition to her son Robert and daughter Donna, Addie is survived by five grandchildren and their spouses: David Dennis and Sarah Pennington of Seattle; Susan (Archer) and Robert Moutard of Redding California; Debbie (Dennis) and Bob Meola of Skillman NJ; Lori (Archer) and Dean Thomas of Redding California; and Doug and Brenda (Wagner) Dennis of Hainesport, New Jersey. Grandma Addie also had nine great grandchildren: Brenton, Taylor, Daniel, Katherine, Patricia, Abigail, Spencer, Aidan and Cory as well as many nieces and nephews.
She will be deeply missed.

Dwayne was a loving father to his son Bradly and husband to his wife Nikki. He had a passion for cars and loved being outdoors. He is survived by his parents: Kimberly Arrant and Mike Jerin. He is also survived by his brother Steven and sister Amy; his wife Nikki; and step siblings Taryn and Traven. He will be missed a great deal.

Kathleen (Kathy) was a tenacious woman with a passion for dance. She spent
many years practicing, and performing for various events, such as shows for
the U.S troops. Kathy credits her father for her dance career, a man who she
described as a wonderful performer, and dancer.

Despite a promising dance career, Kathy decided to follow in the footsteps of
her mother, and enter the medical field. She spent over 40 years caring for
others with an amazing bedside manner. Kathy viewed every patient as a
human, not as a diagnosis, and treated everyone the way she would have
liked to be treated.

The absolute best job that Kathy ever had was that of a mother. She sacrificed
everything, to give her children the best possible life. The song lyrics “She’s
an everlasting shoulder, She’s the leaning post of life” describe her perfectly.

Kathy’s favorite pastimes were gardening all year round, cooking from scratch,
especially for large family gatherings, decorating to the extreme for every holiday,
watching every dancing show, writing, and becoming a published author, just for fun.

Kathy also had a great sense of humor, and loved to pick on the family in the
funniest ways. At the bottom of her will she states, “Just keep a good laugh going
from time to time, if not daily. Enjoy life, don’t sit back and let it pass you by with
work or stress”.

Kathy is preceded in death by her grandparents, Charlie and Hattie Wells, also
her parents, Irene (Wells) and Irving Brewer. She will deeply missed by her
children Kimberly (Joseph), Kristin, and Benjamin, as well as her eight grandchildren,
Jamie, Tristan, Mackenzie, Colton, Jonas, Peyton, Ceres, and Fallon.
Kathy will also be dearly missed by her sister Maureen (William) Goede, Elaine Cruz,
and brother Michael (Tammy) Brewer.

Kathy’s infallible love, and mesmerizing spirit will be greatly missed by all
who knew her best.


**Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we're here we may as well dance.**

At the end of our life, we shall be remembered for our love.

Shirley came into the world as the beloved child of Elizabeth and Harold Scholz, along with her siblings Paula, Tom, and Karin. Growing up, she especially adored dance and ultimately performed with the award-winning McCluer High School pompom squad. After nursing school, Shirley excelled through a 32-year career in pharmaceutical sales with Roche/Genentech; she generously mentored younger salespeople, earned top sales awards, and was beloved by her colleagues as well as the doctors and staff she called on. Shirley danced with passion and flair, golfed with extraordinary skill, wielded a sewing machine like a pro, and brought her eye for beauty to her interior decorating. She affirmed her friends, and she made us laugh with her clever sense of humor. In her last years she focussed on giving back to others in need through her volunteer work. Above all, Shirley’s legacy is one of genuine commitment and love for her friends and family. She is remembered for her vivacious spunk, her joyous laugh, and her giving heart.

We invite you post your remembrance of Shirley, your favorite story about her, or photos, videos, or music, for family and friends to enjoy.

For those wishing to honor Shirley’s memory, we invite you to contribute to Planned Parenthood or the charity of your choice.
