Obituary: Cassandra (Domek) Torkildson

Cassandra, age 68 died on 2, 2017.
Cassandra was born in Thief River Falls, Minnesota to Donald and Jonella Domek (both deceased). She and her parents moved to Moorhead, Minnesota, where she later graduated from Moorhead High School and Moorhead State , majoring in Social Work. She played the violin in both high school and college orchestras, as well as the St. Paul Civic Orchestra.

She moved to Minneapolis and began working as an investigator and later, conciliator for the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, investigating cases of discrimination. While most cases involved employments, she investigated the city police department as well as state correctional institutions. She was always challenged by the variety of cases.

Cassandra began a career in Human Resources with General Mills in the Affirmative Action Department and was later transferred to a GM subsidiary as HR Director for Wallpapers To Go in Hayward, CA. leaving WTG, she served as head of HR and consultant for many small and mid-sized companies within a variety of industries. She specialized in setting up the HR function within those organizations. While she enjoyed working with so many organizations, her favorite was Marine Terminals Corporation, a stevedore company, headquartered in San Francisco, with locations from San Diego to Dutch Harbor, Alaska. She loved the industry and, most importantly, the people.

While working for a game development company in San Francisco, she met Chris Torkildson. Then later while working for a software development company, they realized that they belonged together, even if, as Cass said - they had nothing in common. were married in 1998 then moved to Kentucky where she volunteered as a hospital patient advocate. The lived in Louisville for five years, but they missed California, so they moved back in 2006.

Cass loved movies, double cheeseburgers, gardening, reading, cooking with Chris (who was her chopper dave), and her dogs Booker and Cooper. She always felt she had a full life and was thankful for her family, friends and every day she was given.

She is survived by her husband, Chris and two sisters - Amy (Rex) Keeler, Lincoln, NE and Melissa Domek, Moorhead, MN.

Donations can be made to the National Association of Free Clinics or the SPCA.

Obituary: Donna Maxine Peterson Torkelson, born in Fargo, North Dakota on 7, 1925, passed peacefully to the other side on 17, 2016, in the loving presence of family and friends. Donna grew up in Tracy, Minnesota, where she graduated high school as valedictorian and drum majorette at the age of 16. She graduated from the University of Minnesota four years later. She came to California for work, and there met the love of her life, her husband Donald Torkelson, who preceded her in death. moved to Sacramento, where she lived for 60 years. She worked beyond her 80th birthday as an bookkeeper.
She was active for many years in several community organizations, notably Reach for Recovery, which aids women diagnosed with breast cancer, and Soroptimist and P.E.O., both service organizations for the aid & betterment of women. She was an accomplished and prolific seamstress, quilter and knitter, and quite a cook in her Midwestern tradition. Her pies were best ever. Her uncle who raised her was a veterinarian, and she loved and cared for all animals, especially dogs. Her life-long totem was the turtle-she had hundreds of them, from tiny jewelry to a concrete lawn ornament. She embodied that animal's thick skinned steady perseverance, and she passed on holding the fabric turtle that her aunt had brought her from China, the same one she had used for comfort while sleeping or ill.
She dealt with adversity with resourcefulness, courage and humor, and she sure knew how to have a good time.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, and her best friend, and her first cousin, both of whom are several years older that Donna, and numerous other friends both new and long-standing. She is an will be missed.
We offer a heartfelt thank you to her caregivers and board & care home roommates who made her life easier and happy in recent years, and a fond remembrance to her dear friends and family-and dogs-who passed on before she did--they sure had some fine times drinking martinis and dancing on the long gone Coral Reef and Palomino Room, or weekending at the delta and river houses.
Donna expressly requested that any donations in her memory be made to the Parkinson Association of Northern California. At her request there will be no funeral.
Uff-da!
