Obituary: Life Story of Jennie R. Testa... born on 4, 1914... died Sept 13, 2014. Our mom was the second child born to Italian parents in a little town in Clymer, Pennsylvania. Her family became a large, loving, close-knit one. As a young girl in high school, playing the violin in the band, she was part of winning the all-county band contest; eventually, she also played the piano in the movie house to accompany the silent movies. With her independent spirit, she'd open the side door and let her brothers and sisters in. She and our dad, Ernie J. Testa, married 7, 1936, had Virginia and Jim while still living in Clymer. later had Kathy in Cleveland. moving to Cleveland, Ohio in 1942, mom's outgoing personality, her approachability, good sense of humor, feisty ways, her "take-charge" attitude and strong work ethics always kept her involved in various organizations; becoming the President of the PTA at Walton Elementary School during the 1940's. While raising her three children, she stayed socially active, always easily making friends throughout her life. Mom always loved and was close to her sisters and brothers and her beloved mom and dad. She and one of her sisters, Mary, worked at a candy factory in Cleveland and mom frequently came home with her pockets bulging with candy, which she continued to love all her life. She was never a drinker or a smoker, but sure liked the olives out of a family member's martini!! When we moved from Cleveland to Whittier, CA In 1956, it was hard for her to leave her large Cleveland family and she missed them very much. To help with that loneliness mom and dad immediately joined St. Mary's Church and mom became very active in their Marion Club along with making good neighborhood friendships. But, because she had never driven, and being the independent person she was (while dad went to work, Virginia went to work, Jim went to school and Kathy, who was still little) mom secretly took driving lessons all on her own. We were amazed the day she proudly surprised us with her brand new CA Driver's License. She was so proud of this because it then allowed her to get out, becoming involved in all the things she enjoyed doing. She made the traditional Italian dishes and bakery she grew up with and perfected over the years. The wonderful results of her cooking and baking skills were always a treat for her family and friends. She had a loving touch with food and to her it was always about sharing it with her loved ones. She took classes in cake decorating, flower arranging and ceramics and did a lovely job with all of it. Playing cards, dinners, dancing with their good life-long friends wherever they lived, led to them joining a square dancing club; and mom, loving to dance, and no shyness in her, was always one of the first ones out onto the dance floor at any type of event. She could speak easily and with humor with anyone or comfortably before any crowd. She had strong opinions and was never shy about voicing them!! Eventually mom and dad moved from Whittier to Mission Viejo, where mom started working in the kitchen at O'Neill Elementary School, eventually leading to her new career of working in the pre school. When they moved to Escondido in 1976, mom and dad immediately became active and contributing parishioners of Church of the Resurrection and she frequently commented on how beautiful it was to look out onto the large rocks and gardens through the big windows behind the altar. Mom liked Fr. Ken a lot and he officiated at their fiftieth wedding anniversary vow renewal mass. He will also be saying her funeral mass, which would mean a lot to her. For some years after moving to Escondido, mom made the long, early-morning commute up to Mission Viejo for her pre-school job and the long drive back to Escondido. a few years of that long commute, she wanted to work closer to home, getting a job as a pre-school teacher at Escondido Christian School. She loved working with the little kids and the staff. She was the much-loved "Miss Jennie". Our parents joined the Escondido Elks Club, becoming active members for many years. During that time, mom joined their women's singing group: "The Emblem Belles". She loved the community involvement of singing at various hospitals, nursing homes and senior centers. She joined and got a lot of enjoyment out of belonging to the Silver Sneakers and Mall Walkers for exercise; again, always easily making good friends along the way. Travel was also a big part of their lives and mom and dad travelled to every state, often, over the many years, visiting a state more than once. preferred to travel by car or motor home so they could really see the places they were interested in and they loved their travel adventures. No matter where their trips took them, she was always glad to come home to her family whom she held closely to her heart. As each one of the three of us married our spouses: Tony, Nan and Mark, mom, as was her way, welcomed and loved each of them and was fully loved in return. As grandchildren were born: Tony, Michael, Lisa, Greg and Katie; and, great grandchildren: Michael, Michelle, Tony, Kelli, Zach and Tera followed, she loved each and every one of them with an open heart, pitching in to baby sit and loving doing so. As her grandchildren married their spouses: Tracee, Dave, JoAnn and Yolanda, mom easily brought them into her heart. For a few years she was able to know Dave's children, Katie and Zack. If she could've known Yolanda's children, Alex and Monique, and her grandchildren Alissa and Vanessa, she would've held continued... |

Obituary: Charlie E. Testa was born on 28, 1922 in Merced, California and passed away peacefully on , 23, 2016 at his home. For nearly a year, Dad had been hospitalized a number of times and was blessed to be cared for by many caregivers, including his three sons, Ken, Steve, and Jim. Everyone who knew Charlie Testa thought the world of him. Charlie is now reunited with his wife of 63 years Bea in Heaven and has begun the most successful deer and elk hunting trip ever, where all his tags will be filled out and perfect weather will help drive the game to his favor. Charlie lived an honorable, fulfilling life and touched so many people in countless ways. He grew up in Merced with his two older brothers, Adolph and Andy under the loving care of his parents Dominic and Celestina Testa, who each emigrated from Italy and met in San Francisco in 1904. Grandpa taught dad how to farm and how to be a man, while Noni cared for her boys in countless ways, including a tiny glass of wine for the boys at dinner. Dad was a consummate builder, using a combination of common sense, ingenuity, and skill. In his day he could weld a strong bead with his eyes closed, planned effective outcomes in his head, and could engineer any structure to last for decades, most on any scrap of paper. But the biggest measure of dads ability to build was his gift of building relationships. Everyone knew and respected Charlie Testa for the quality of man and friend he was. He could win just about any pool tournament and usually left part of his second beer at La-Ha II before going home for one of his special power naps. Dad lived to hunt deer and elk, yet began with his brothers as a youngster along Bear Creek, Spaghetti Acres, and 'oh the stories of fun with his friends and fellow farmers. Beginning in 1957, dad started hunting deer and elk in Utah, then the annual trip with his closest friends to Colorado began in 1960, much on the Pilgrim Ranch with his brother Adolph, Jimmy A., Jesse, Henry, Ernie, Alfred, Jimmy F., Frank, Mike, Jack, and others. Dad had super eyesight to see through he quakies, yet always said that brother Adolph was the best shooter but brother Andy was the best with a shotgun. Dad was known for farming tomatoes with his father, a founder of Central California Tomato Growers, and was a loyal ranch foreman for John Myers on his Flying M Ranch where and beyond UC Merced now grows. Dad modeled for his sons how to work hard and treat people right, and was a devoted husband and father. He always loved and watched out for little ones, and smiled so big when he saw and played with most of his great grandchildren just a few weeks ago at the house. Charlie is preceded in death by his loving and devoted wife, Bernice Bea and is survived by a family who so loved their dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa: son Ken and his wife Diane, their daughters Jennifer (Tony) Bonsell, their children Paige and Brantley, Ashley (Todd) Burk, their children Addison and Carson; son Jim and his wife Kathy, their children Lacy, Kayla and Zack; son Steve, his daughter Amanda and her children Lillian and Madison, son Adam, his wife Erin, and their children Penelope, Jude, and one on the way. Dad always enjoyed visits by his five grandkids and eight great grandkids and typically remarked about how they needed to be closely watched and not played with so rough. He is also survived by his beloved sister-in-law Jerry Testa, married to brother Adolph who passed away in 2012 at age 90, and their devoted daughter and dads niece Becky (Bob) Williamson. Becky has always been a guardian angel for us, consistently looking out for our mom and dad, and more of a sister to Charlies boys. Charlie is also survived by his sister-in-law Stella Testa, married to his late brother Andy who passed away last at age 98, and the rest of the Rizzonelli family so special to us all. Dad is survived by so many others he knew, hunted with, knew of his farming and ranching history, so many more to list but all so special to dad. You know who you are and he tips his cowboy hat to you all. Dad is also survived by the memory of all U.S. veterans, especially those he served with during World War II and the European Theatre, whom he bravely joined as a US Army 4th Infantry Division GI under George Pattons Third Army. Dad was the eal deal in joining the fight for our US freedom from Utah Beach all the way to Bastogne, Belgium. Dad earned a Bronze Star for meritorious service during the Battle of the Bulge, and we honor his sacrifice and will always remember he was the epitome of Americas Greatest Generation. A public viewing will take place on , 28th between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Stratford Evans , 1490 B Street in Merced. services will be held on , 29th at 2 p.m. at Stratford Evans . Following the service, family and friends are invited to the house to celebrate Charlies wonderful life. He will be buried alongside his wife Bernice at the San Joaquin Valley National on , 1st at 10 a.m. with full military honors. We tip our hats to you, dad, our True American Hero. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all those who cared for, loved, and looked after Charlies best interests until the very end of his truly remarkable life. Special thanks goes to the nurses and staff at Mercy Medical , Dr. Charlie Kano and MFA staff, continued... |
