Obituary: Longtime San Francisco and Carmel architect Russell Gifford passed away at his Carmel home on 12, 2011. Russ lived in Leicester, Massachusetts from the time he was born until he went to South Kent School in Connecticut followed by Amherst and Columbia University. Along the way, he served in the US Navy in various roles including command of an anti-submarine ship in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters.
As president of his architecture class at Columbia University, Russ invited Frank Lloyd Wright to speak to the students. Wright not only gave an outstanding talk, but remained with Russ and several students sharing his theories and views of design until sunrise. Russells architecture was greatly influenced by Wrights discussion that evening.
Russ worked in the firms of McKim, Mead, and White in New York. In San Francisco he worked first with Mario Ciampi followed by the firm of Anshen and Allen. From 1963 to 1966, Russ was in charge of the joint venture of Stone, Marraccini & Patterson with Maher & Martens. The signature project of the venture during this time was the planning and design for Harrahs in Lake Tahoe. An avid tennis player, Russ also enjoyed his role as architect for the San Francisco Racquet Club.
Shortly before his move to Carmel in 1982, Russells large group of friends threw him a oast commenting that he wouldn last in Carmel. Although most of his friends wondered if he would survive the quiet life, he enjoyed working on residential projects while sitting next to a roaring fire on foggy days with his three Siamese cats nearby. His contractors always enjoyed the daily visits Russ would pay to the construction site, to ensure things were being built to his specifications. While living in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Russ was active on many committees refining building regulations and preserving history, including Flanders Mansion. Russ was speaking to the Town Council when the 1989 earthquake struck.
Russ continued his architectural influence when he moved to Del Mesa Carmel in 1997. He soon proved valuable to Del Mesa by designing various projects including the entrance signage, the guard house and new fitness center. In , Russ was named Member Laureate of Del Mesa Carmel Building and Grounds Committee. He was greatly honored by this recognition.
Although 89 years old, Russ still had a daily glass of red wine, did his New York Times crossword puzzles in ink and made jokes with those assisting him in his final days. He will be greatly missed.
Russell is survived by Jane, his loving wife of more than 30 years. His family also includes children Megan Foulis (Bill) of San Rafael, Eugenie Baumann, Los Angeles, Sam Gifford (Teri) San Francisco, Jill Hosmer, Carmel, and John Hayhoe (Sharon) Newport Beach. He had ten grandchildren from this blended family.
Private services will be held in Massachusetts at a later date.

Obituary: Lois Dorothy Gifford 4, 1926 - 18, 2011

Lois Dorothy Gifford, 85, has passed to join her husband, Francis R. Gifford, in Heaven who passed before her in 1993. Lois had said on more than one occasion that all she ever wanted to do in life was to make people happy. She more than accomplished this objective throughout her life. Her life and home was a constant hub for her family and friends that came to visit with her. This was a source of enjoyment in her life. Of the more unique things she had done in her past, that not all knew, was that during WWII she worked for the war effort doing welding and copper plating. On VE day (Victory in Europe) she danced in the streets of Bakersfield; even though she had smashed her toe flat in the factory that same day. During the 60s and 70s she rode motorcycles with her husband in full leathers. One of her first jobs was working for a dress store in East Bakersfield. She grew up on a ranch (farm) in the Edison area and did all that entailed for a ranch life of livestock and harvesting. She also worked for Memorial Hospital as a Nurses Aide and then as a Unit Secretary. She and her husband also managed, for over five decades, apartments that they owned. But her foremost achievement was that she raised her family in the church and she believed deeply in God and is now with her Lord. She is survived by her three children and their spouses, Ronald Gifford and his wife Andrea, Carol Shellhammer and her husband Stephen, Carl Gifford and his wife Linda, and her grandchildren and their spouses Johnathan Gifford and his wife Tabitha, Kristine Peterson and her husband Calvin, Erik Gifford and his wife Crystal, Michael Gifford, Lori Gifford, Nicole Shellhammer, and Matthew Shellhammer, and her great grandchildren Gabriel Gifford, Benjamin Gifford, Carson Peterson, Chloe Gifford, Taylor McSperitt, Rebecca Gifford, Jenna McSperitt, and Liberty Gifford. Lois and the family appreciated all the prayers for her and believe these prayers were answered by making her passing easier and granting her wish to join her husband in heaven. She enjoyed life and her family up through her last few days. She was dearly loved by her family and close friends and will be dearly missed. We, the family of Lois, especially want to thank Hoffmann Hospice and their staff for their care and compassion in this process. Visitation will be held from 4-8 p.m. , 21, at Hillcrest Mortuary with a funeral service , 22, at Hillcrest Memorial Chapel. Interment to follow. Hillcrest Memorial Park & Mortuary

under the direction of Hillcrest Memorial Park and Mortuary, Bakersfield, CA.
