LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Oct. 8, 2015, Marsha Leah Mills-McQueen passed away in Sacramento, Calif., just shy of her 60th birthday, surrounded by family, friends and angels who sang her into eternity at her hospital bedside.

She was a fiery, giving, creative and unparalleled wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend and believer in Jesus Christ.

Though the luster of life has dimmed for those who knew her, she is bathed in a splendor unimaginable and rejoicing with the family members who have gone before her.

She is survived by her husband of 36 years, George McQueen Jr.; her children, Sarah (daughter), Nathan (son), Cory (son-in-law) and Christina (daughter-in-law); her grandchildren, Hailey, Celia, Cailyn, Evelyn and the forthcoming Tanner (who she spoiled because “that’s what grandmas are for); her mother and father, Alberta and David Mills; and her siblings, Mark (brother) and Debbie Mills, David and Tamah (sister) McQueen, and Ken and Rena (sister) Rousch.

If you knew Marsha, there was a good chance you have something she knit or sewed. There is also a good chance you were invited for dinner or Easter or Christmas or Thanksgiving or Memorial Day or Fourth of July or to a family birthday because all her love could not be contained in her 5’2” frame. She showed her love in many ways, through cooking, presents, a phone call or in a hug.

As a mother, she sacrificed and poured her soul into raising children who had respect for others, made their bed and, above all, loved God.

As a wife, she was known as “General Mills” or “The Sha of Itan” and poured as much dedication into dressing, feeding, and loving her husband. As a sister, she cared for her siblings and loved to be with them in any capacity, even if they annoyed one another at times.

As a daughter, she cared for her parents just as they cared for her and never hesitated to take the long drive over to spend a day chatting with them. She loved her nieces and nephews and treated them just as she treated her own children, harboring a special place for each one, sparing no expense to brighten their day with a gift.

Please join us for a celebration for Marsha's life. The service will be on Saturday, Nov. 28, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Lakeport Community Seventh Day Adventist Church, 1111 Park Way, Lakeport, with food served directly afterward. If you would, please bring a picture of Marsha and a written memory to share.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking for a donation to be sent to The Sweet Dreams Foundation, www.sweet-dreams.org , in honor of Marsha.

MARIN COUNTY, Calif. – Leslie Beebout Adams, 44, died after a courageous 23-year battle with Lupus on Oct. 25, 2015, in Marin County.

She is survived by her husband, Gregg Adams; son, Tyler Adams; sister, Glenda Pyzer (Russ); brothers, Ed Beebout (Cynthia), John Beebout, Stephen Beebout; father in-law, Dwain Adams; sisters-in-law, Jill Roach, Angie Conlon (Kevin); 18 nephews and nieces; four cousins, and numerous other family members and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Jan Beebout; grandparents, Glen and Margaret Beebout, and Bob and Betty Jewett; nephew and godson, Ryan Depp; mother in-law, Gail Adams; and four aunts.

Leslie was born Nov. 26, 1970, in Lakeport, Calif.

She was an incredible athlete, playing softball and basketball throughout her years at Clear Lake High School. She was a part of the 1989 CLHS basketball team which traveled to the Arco Arena to play in the State Championships. This is a memory which remained dear to Leslie throughout her life. 

Leslie went to Sonoma State University where she obtained her teaching credential in physical education and continued to play softball for the SSU team. This is also where she met her husband, Gregg.

Leslie’s greatest love and passion was her family. She was devoted and loyal to her husband and son, as well as the rest of her family. 

There is nothing she enjoyed more, or gave her greater joy, then trips with her family to Disneyland or annual family reunions at the Skylark Motel, where all the Beebouts grew up. Leslie was a small town girl at heart and carried her passion for her hometown deep inside. 

She will always be known for her strength, courage, endurance, hopeful belief in what tomorrow could bring, and her genuine love and compassion for her son, husband, family and friends. We are all better people for having Leslie in our lives to love, and be loved by. She is deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.

A celebration of life will be held at the 360 Church of Petaluma, located at 879 Lindberg Lane, Petaluma, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. With open hearts, we invite all who would like to attend and share in the celebration of such a precious life.

In lieu of flowers, our family would greatly appreciate donations being sent in Leslie’s name to The Lupus Foundation of Northern California, 2635 N. First St., San Jose, CA 95134.
