Pennie was a kind and loving woman with a strong personality, a heart of gold, and a spirit that was impossible to forget. She was strong-willed, outspoken, and never afraid to speak her mind. She could be a hard ass when she needed to be, but beneath that tough exterior was a mother whose love for her family knew absolutely no limits. Her children were her world. She dedicated her life to taking care of them, standing beside them, and making sure they always had someone in their corner. No matter what life threw their way, Pennie was there. Whether it meant bailing them out of a difficult situation, picking up the pieces, offering advice, or simply being the person they could always count on, she never stopped showing up. She gave endlessly, often putting the needs of her children before her own. Her love extended beyond motherhood. She stepped in and raised her granddaughter when her daughter was unable to do so, giving her the love, care, and presence that only Pennie could give. That was simply who she was. When someone she loved needed her, she showed up. Pennie had a love for the simple things that made life beautiful. She loved being outdoors, tending to her garden, and surrounding herself with the things that brought her happiness. Music was another one of her great loves, especially the blues. She enjoyed going to concerts with her best friend, Valerie Gray, making memories and sharing moments that will be cherished forever. And then there was her laugh. Pennie had the most contagious laugh, a real, hearty, from-the-belly laugh that could fill a room and make everyone around her smile. It was unmistakably hers, just like her personality. She affectionately called her daughter her "Pinky a special little name that will forever hold a place in her heart It's the kind of memory that will bring smiles through the tears and remind everyone just how much of her lives on in the little things. Pennie leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love, strength, sacrifice, laughter, and devotion to family. She wasn't perfect, and she never pretended to be. She was simply Pennie: tough, loving, protective, funny, and one of a kind. She is survived by her two children, Angela Chesser and Paul Chesser; her mother, Ivanelle Chesser Ridgway; her sister, Laura Shepherd niece, Kazmira, McCarthy, and her beloved granddaughter, Liam Whitteker. Though her passing leaves an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, her laughter, her love of music, her gardens, her strength, and the countless ways she showed up for her family will never be forgotten. A mother's love doesn't end when her life does. It lives on in the children she raised, the grandchildren she loved, the laughter she shared, and the memories that will forever bloom in the hearts of those she leaves behind. Rest peacefully, Pennie. Keep the music playing. You will forever be loved, missed, and remembered. Forever our Pennie Pennie also dedicated a part of her life to caring for others through her work at Hillmont Psychiatric Center, where she served as a Placement Coordinator and worked on the floor as a nurse, caring for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Her work reflected another side of the woman she was: someone who understood the importance of showing up for people, looking after those in need, and making a difference in the lives of others. Caring for people wasn't just something she did for her family; it was also part of the work she devoted herself to.

He was a hardworking man with a heart of gold, someone who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need, whether they were family, a friend, or a complete stranger. Above all, Matthew was a loving and devoted father to his four children, Jacob, Mia, Monica, and Carston. Being their dad was one of the most meaningful parts of his life, and the love he had for them will forever be part of the legacy he leaves behind. Matthew grew up on 9th Street in Carpinteria, where childhood friendships turned into lifelong bonds and friends became family. Those who knew him as  Shorty knew his loyalty, generosity, and the kind of person he was. His roots ran deep in Carpinteria, where he was surrounded by a large family, lifelong friends, and a community that loved him dearly. Growing up, Matthew enjoyed playing football, fishing, and spending time at the pier catching crabs. He loved working with his hands and was always building, fixing, or creating something new. His family often joked that he was the male version of Mary Poppins because somehow, no matter what anyone needed, he always seemed to have it. With his toolbox in hand, he was always ready to help. Whether something needed fixing or someone simply needed a helping hand, Matthew was the person everyone could count on. He never expected anything in return. That was simply who he was. As the oldest of seven siblings, Matthew was more than just our big brother; he was our protector. He was someone we could turn to, someone who looked out for us, and someone who always wanted to make sure his family was okay. No matter how old we got, he would always be our big brother. The love, protection, and memories he gave us will remain in our hearts forever. Matthew was a Warrior. He was strong, resilient, hardworking, and determined, but his greatest strength was his heart. He gave more than he took, helped without hesitation, and showed his love through his actions. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing him knew how special he truly was. Losing Matthew has left a space in our family and community that can never be filled. We wish his children had more time with their dad, that we had more time with our big brother, and that everyone who loved him could have had just one more moment. We will forever remember the boy who grew up on 9th Street, the man everyone knew as  Shorty, the father who loved his children, the protective big brother, and the friend who would do anything for anyone. His hands built so much throughout his life, but the greatest thing he ever built was a lifetime of love, memories, and connections that will never be forgotten. His legacy will live on through his children, his siblings, his family, his lifelong friends, and everyone whose life he touched. Rest peacefully, Matthew. You were deeply loved, and you will be missed more than words could ever express. Forever our Matthew. Forever our Shorty. Forever our Warrior.

She was born in Bakersfield to Frank and Moneta Goodrick on August 1, 1940. Her father was a civil engineer, and moved the family to the Cummings Valley outside of Tehachapi to fulfill his dream of being a farmer. Although Dee was a girl, she was the oldest child, and learned to drive a tractor and to operate a bailer at an early age. One of her early learning experiences was getting the tractor stuck in the tailwater pond, and getting it out as well. In 1972, she met Harry Walsh, a young lawyer from Oxnard. They were married in November of 1972, and lived in Ventura where they successfully raised five children. Her life was focused on her husband, her children, her friends, her home, and her membership in Community Presbyterian Church. Like Will Rogers, Dee never met a person she did not like (and who did not like her). She was always warm, friendly, poised, and gracious. At Community Presbyterian Church, she cared for toddlers on Sunday morning, served on the Board of Deacons, and was a proud tenor in the church choir. She is survived by her husband, Harry, five children, Mark, Lanette, Brett, Margaret, and Harry as well as eight grand children, and six great grandchildren. Each of her children and grandchildren was her favorite. Family and friends are invited to visiting hours and viewing to be held at JOSEPH P. REARDON FUNERAL HOME &amp; CREMATION SERVICE, 757 E.

He replaced running with daily walks through the neighborhoods near his home and would stop and talk to neighbors along the way. He had a natural gift for connection he could strike up a warm, engaging conversation with anyone he met, wherever he went. He had a knack for remembering small details from these conversations and would often bring them up the next time he spoke with you. Steven also enjoyed taking road trips with his wife and spending time with his children.
