OBITUARIES
Dorothy Fuller Zimmerman
Dorothy Fuller Zimmer-
man, 82, passed away peace-
fully in her home with her
family by her side Saturday,
Dec. 3, 2011, from Hodgkin's
lymphoma.
Dorothy was born in Rush,
Colo., April 5, 1929, to Fred Fay
Keller and Anna Katherine
Moor. While she was still
a child during the Great
Depression, her parents and
seven siblings along with
other family members moved
to California and settled in
the Roseville area.
Dorothy loved to go roller
skating and would wash her
older brother Sam's Ford
convertible so he would take
her to the roller rink. Sam
says, "When I went into the
Army in 1942, I couldn't take
my car keys and I tell you,
that car was completely wore
out by the time I came home,
using a quart of oil every 100
miles, from my sister cruis-
ing Main Street with her
friends!" Dorothy was known
for always wanting to go
"dragging Main Street" as
she called it, first with her.
daughters, then with each of
the grandkids.
After graduating from San
Juan Union High School in
Elk Grove in 1947, she tried
her hand at a few jobs includ-
ing working in a cannery, but
found that she enjoyed work-
ing as a waitress. That is how
she met a truck driver named
Roy Clyde Fuller in Grass
Valley. They fell in love and
were married April 16, 1957.
While living in Burney in
19.59 they had their first
daughter, Susan. In 1961 after
driving through Quincy they
fell in love with the area and
decided to move here. Their
second daughter Sharon was
born in 1962.
Dorothy was talented in
musical instruments includ-
ing piano, organ, guitar and
the accordion, playing the
polka, which she learned
from her dad. She also had
many talents in art like glass
etching, wood and metal
design and jewelry making.
She could design just about
anything she got her hands
on into a piece of art. What
she is most well known for
was her large landscape
paintings of the area. She
sold and gave away more
than 50 of them to people in
the community. She loved
gardening, crocheting, travel-
ing and her fish in the fish
pond.
After Roy, her husband of
48 years, died in 2003, she
kept herself busy with family
camping trips and outings
with her daughters including
a cruise, going to Maul,
attending the Accordion Fes-
tival in Cotati and a special
mother/daughter motorhome
trip to Napa to ride on the
Wine Train and all the way
up Highway 1 into Oregon.
Dorothy and her daughters
had many fun times together.
In 2007 Dorothy met Manfred
Zimmerman from Livermore
and after a year of courting
they fell in love and were
married Dec. 22, 2008. Man-
fred (Fred) and Dorothy en-
joyed doing many of the same
things together, especially
traveling to warmer Arizona
in the winter in their motor-
home, eating out, drives in
their convertible, adventur-
ous outings in their Jeep all
over the mountains around
Quincy and, of course, their
fish pond.
In passing Dorothy leaves
her husband Manfred (Fred),
of Livermore; daughter
Susan and husband Jay
Pence, of Quincy; daughter
Sharon and husband Budd

and love she brought to
