Ellen "Fay" (Martin) Gonzales died in Woodland Memorial Hospital with her family comforting her Friday, Aug. 2, 2002, at age 68.
Born May 29, 1934, in Oklahoma, Mrs. Gonzales had been a Yolo County resident for 65 years. She attended school in Esparto, graduating from Esparto High School in 1952. She had also been employed as a Secretary/Dispatcher for Carpenters Local 1381 for 25 years, retiring in 1995.
According to her family members, "she enjoyed many hobbies such as sewing, crochet, needlepoint, candle making, and cake decorating - a craft that she passed on to her children. She was a true 'rock hound' and especially liked to find agates and stones while vacationing along the California and Oregon coasts with her family. With her husband Herman, they would cut and polish the stones, making jewelry for friends and family. She also enjoyed playing bingo with friends. One of her latest hobbies was researching her family history. Creating a detailed family tree, she passed this and copies of old family photos to family members."
Mrs. Gonzales is survived by her husband of 50 years, Herman A. Gonzales of Woodland, originally of Winters; and sons, Robert Gonzales and his wife Carol, Herman T. Gonzales and his wife Barbara, also all of Woodland, and Tim Gonzales and wife Jennifer of Sacramento.
She is also survived by her grandchildren, Catrina Castaneda and husband Steven of Fresno, Bryce, Jeremy, Kasey and Kevin Gonzales, all of Woodland, Lindsey Ellen, Landon Gonzales of Sacramento; mother, Ella Martin of Woodland; sister, Jean Long of Oregon; brother, Rodney Martin and wife Nancy of Mississippi; and many other relatives in the Woodland area.
Mrs. Gonzales was preceded in death by her father, Robert "Dick" Martin.
Respecting her wishes, no services are scheduled.
