Two Recent Obituaries By Linda Sparks
We lost two 50-year members this year: Georgia Richardson in September and Dorie Bracchi in October. Both were educators. Georgia taught for the San Juan Unified School District, working with Continuing Education High School students. Dorie was a nursing educator for Sacramento City College students.
Georgia’s community involvement was mainly through her church. She started the Great Books interest group for our branch and was the leader until she moved away from Sacramento. She was always ready to help in any way that the branch requested. She decided she did not want to permanently live in such a hot place so she purchased a home facing Glass Beach in Fort Bragg and moved there. Her daughter still lives in this home.
Dorie’s community involvement was mainly with the Sacramento Jazz Festival. She and her husband, Alex, were involved from the outset of this festival, working in several venues, but spent the most years working at the Firehouse Court Courtyard until the festival ended. After retiring from teaching nursing, she started playing bridge frequently. She earned many Master points at competitive events.
Both will be missed.
