Toni Marie Davis

August 9, 1941 - July 16, 2020

 

Antoinette (Toni) Marie (Janiszeski) Davis

Antoinette Janiszeski was born August 9, 1941, in her grandparent’s home in Marble Township near Canby MN to Sophie (Otto) Janiszeski. She was baptized and received her First Holy Communion and Confirmation at St. John Cantius Catholic Church in Wilno MN.

Toni attended parochial school in Wilno as well as country grade school in Ivanhoe and Hendricks MN.  She graduated from Canby High School in 1959, but since her parents moved to Canby when she was a senior, she always felt that Hendricks High School was her alma mater.  After graduation she attended Minneapolis School of Business and then went on to work first as a nanny, then as a secretary for a company in Minneapolis.  In 1961, she met a lifetime girlfriend named Judy from Jordan MN and they visited Judy’s aunt and uncle in Denver CO and 2 weeks later decided to take a train to Denver and they both settled down in Denver for the rest of their lives.  She worked several jobs in Denver (an insurance agency, for a private investigator, and lastly for a company known as Engineering Consultants Inc. (ECI)), where she remained until she retired in 2006.  At this position she grew to love her job as she traveled the world over – France, China, Viet Nam, England, just to name a few.   

On August 12, 1967, she married Elton Davis at Christ Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Aurora CO.  From this union, Toni and Elton welcomed 2 beautiful boys into this world; Jason, now deceased, and Bradley, who now lives in California. 

The things that made Toni the happiest were her family and her grandchildren; Luke, Sophie, and Paige.   She loved her Denver Broncos team (she had season tickets since the 70’s), she golfed, bowled, played softball, and loved going out to eat with her friends to new restaurants.  Toni was a very caring and generous person.  Very often you’d see her giving money to people on the streets.

She was a member of Christ Our Redeemer Lutheran Church since her marriage and was very active in the lady’s groups at church.   Toni lived with her sister/husband, Donna and Todd, for 3 years.  As her illness progressed, she required more care, so her family wanted her to move closer to her son/daughter-in-law in Riverside CA.  

Toni is sadly missed by her entire family.  Her husband, Elton, of 38 years, now deceased, was a Denver policeman.  She was extremely proud of Elton as he not only was a phenomenal policeman, but he was also in charge of special events in Denver.  He escorted many famous dignitaries, presidents, movie stars, and even Pope John II when he was at Cherry Creek in the 90’s.  He was able to give our mother a rosary that was blessed by Pope John, and he accompanied the Pope to Estes Park here in the Colorado mountains, and upon their return to Denver, Elton saved a little stone that was wedged in the Pope’s shoe.  Elton passed away in December 2005.  

Toni is preceded in death by her husband, her son, Jason, her dad, Anton, her mother, Sophie, sisters Louise (Gary), and Paulette (Behnke).  

She is survived by her son, Bradley and wife Kara, and grandchildren Luke, Sophie, and Paige and 2 sisters Joan (Don) Burt of Topeka KS, and Donna (Todd) Hoyt of Parker CO and many nieces and nephews.

Blessed Be Her Precious Memory

Joanna Lorenz

October 2, 1963 - July 7, 2020



Joanna Catherine (Hunt) Lorenz, 56 years young.
Unexpectedly started on her Heavenly journey July 7, 2020 in Colton, California.

Born 1963 in Mesa, Arizona to Sharon (O’Dell) Hunt and Royce Alan Hunt. She was the third of four children. Although born in Arizona, Joanna lived her entire life in sunny Southern California. Growing up in Pomona and Ontario and then later moving to Colton to raise a family.

Married in 1984 to Kenneth Lorenz. They were soon blessed with two beautiful children, Elishia Joy and Joseph Paul. Joanna married again later on in life (2012) to Eugene Truman and continued to live in Colton CA until she was abruptly called upon to leave us.

Undoubtedly, “With a song to Heal the Soul” in her heart.
Joanna had such a love for music and always touted her motto, “Don’t Die With Your Music Still In You”. Her music will follow her eternally. Her favorite songs will bless us each time we hear them from now until forever.

In her younger years when her children were small they all enjoyed family camping and fishing trips to all their favorite lakes in CA and AZ. Hemet Lake, Mountain Lakes in Lytle Creek and Apache Lake in Arizona were some of their favorite family spots. Her children were always her pride and joy. She always made sure to make great family memories on all their vacations together, whether it be with just the family or some extended family time in Arizona with the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Joanna loved computers and was one of the first to own one when they were commercially available in the late 80’s. She became a computer whiz when many of us didn’t have a clue. Computers helped in cataloging some of her other hobbies such as poetry, craft projects and needlepoint. Joanna was blessed with beautiful handwriting and had a knack for writing some wonderful poetry verses throughout the years. She had a way with words and how to weave them into a fascinating and lyrical story.

Her love of animals was always on display. Never without a dog or cat in her life as a child or as an adult. Her two cats, Dottie and Echo, will miss their momma terribly.

She was a wonderful and loving stay-at-home mom when the kids were small. Later in life, after her children were grown, Joanna attended San Bernardino Valley College. Working on credits towards drug counseling and caregiving courses. She was a caregiver for Home Instead for many years. She had the love and compassion for caregiving like no other. Not an easy profession both physically and emotionally but she was a natural at it. She had many steady clients over the years that adored her.

Joanna had an insatiable love of the ocean and made as many trips as possible down to her timeshare in San Diego. Palm Springs was also another favorite timeshare hangout for family fun. She loved getting her family together for long weekends and walks on the salty air beaches. It was always her dream to be surrounded by both her children and granddaughter Holleigh down at the beach splashing in the waves.

She is preceded in death by her father, Royce Alan Hunt, her first husband, Kenneth Lorenz, and second husband, Eugene Truman.

She is survived by daughter, Elishia Joy Lorenz of Seattle,WA., son, Joseph Paul Lorenz of Colton, CA., mother, Sharon Lara (Augustine) of Tempe, AZ, sister, Jami Hunt Patrick (Nigel) of Prescott, AZ, two brothers, James Taylor Hunt of Bandon, OR., Jayson Hunt of Mesa AZ., and granddaughter, Holleigh Lorenz of Yucca Valley, CA. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins that loved her dearly.

She will be truly missed by all her family and friends. No immediate services are planned at this time. She will be laid to rest in Newport Beach, to be with her late husband, Eugene Truman, at the ocean that they loved so much. Her soul will then be at peace. We all loved her so much.

The Day God Called You Home

God looked around His garden
And found an empty space
Then He looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
Lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
For He only takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyes
And whispered “Peace be thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home



Marcella Sue Markle

December 20, 1940 - July 7, 2020

Marcella Sue Markle
Marcella was born on December 20, 1940 to Homer and Helen McMillan in Bluff City, Illinois. Her
childhood was spent in Illinois with her sister Betty. Marcella married Jesse Lou Markle on April 9, 1960.
Just weeks after they were married, the Navy transferred Jesse to Long Beach, California.
Jesse and Marcy spent their lives together in Southern California. They owned multiple businesses along
the way, including apartment buildings, a trucking company, and more. Unable to have children of their
own, they also were known for taking in young people and helping them along the way. They were
proud of the roles they had in the lives of those they helped “raise,” including Sean Laycox and Dean
Markle.
In 1977, they purchased Cowboy Country Campground in Aguanga California. Jesse continued working
at Todd Shipyard in Long Beach and came home on the weekends, while Marcella lived and worked on
the campground. The first time she drove to Aguanga, she remembered thinking about how brown and
dead everything looked. Yet, over the years, she grew to love the beauty of the high desert
environment that became her home.
On October 12, 1979 they realized their dream of becoming parents when they adopted their daughter
Jennifer. They raised Jennifer while continuing to work the campground. Jesse passed away on April 30,
1995.
Marcella finally sold the campground and retired around 2000. She moved as far away from the
campground as she could stand... Across the street!
On April 10, 2003, Marcella gave her daughter in marriage to her new son-in-law Andrew Hernandez. As
time went on, it appeared that Jennifer was going to follow in her footsteps, being unable to have a
child. Needless to say, it came as a complete shock when Jennifer and Andrew “promoted” Marcella to
grandma! Her pride and joy of a grandson, Joshua Lawrenzo Hernandez, was born on March 28, 2013.
While her health was already fading, Joshua brought new life and gave her a reason to keep going. You
could see the absolute joy on her face every time she held him, every time he climbed on her lap, every
time he said the word “Grandma.” She loved watching him as he grew.
Marcella was known for her care and hospitality. She always made sure that any person who walked
through her door had a full belly when they left. She loved to cook homestyle comfort food. She also
had a love of horses, lighthouses, Elvis Presley, old westerns, and especially John Wayne. She will be
dearly missed by all those who knew her.
Marcella battled many health issues her entire life, and was know for her fighting spirit. Even in her final
days, her caregivers shared stories of how she made them smile with her strong will and determination.
Marcella went home to be with the Lord on July 7, 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting a
donation to the charity that was dear to Marcella’s heart, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Wesley Crew Welton 
July 3rd, 2020 

Wesley Crew Welton passed peacefully in the arms of his mother on July 3rd, 2020. Wesley was born at 7:12pm and met the eyes of Jesus 20 minutes later. Wesley was the son of Michael and Kayla Welton. He gave them a lifetime of love during his short time on Earth. He has touched the lives of many and was deeply loved by family and friends.

Wesley loved the sound of his mama, dad and brother's voices. He loved toasted sandwiches and playing tapping games with mama while he was in her womb. Wesley was loved every second of his life. When Wesley was born, he was prayed over, held, kissed and told that he was loved so many times. His life was a brief gift to us all that will live on in our hearts until we can meet him again. 

Revelation 21:1-5 
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”
