Anita Christine Jackson Dec. 22, 1986-June 8, 2012
On the morning of June 8th, in Laytonville, CA, Anita Jackson was in a car accident that took her life. She is survived by her daughter, Tara Slichter; her father, Brian Jackson; her mother, Mary Nicknish; her sisters, Melissa, Kayla and Claire; her grandparents, Vern and Rose Jackson of Cedar Rapids, IA, and Tom and Barb Nicknish of Iowa City, IA; and her extended family of step-parents, step-brother, uncles, aunts, cousins, and many great friends. Anita attended Jordan Middle School in Palo Alto and graduated high school at the Mission Mountain School in Condon, MT. She was a massage therapist and founder of Shamanita Natural Personal Care Products. Anita was a free spirit and explorer. Even as a toddler, she would often venture out to explore the world on her own. She expressed her individuality and creativity in her beautiful singing, her painting, and through the making of soaps and lotions. Anita was a dedicated mother who loved her daughter, Tara, more than anything. The
strength of that love was obvious to everyone around her. How well-behaved, wel l-ma n nered and appreciative Tara is, is a direct reflection of how successful Anita was as a mother. Family, friends, and community were most important to Anita. She infused love, acceptance, and kindness into all her relationships. People were drawn to her sensitivity, her vulnerability, her infectious joy, her radiant smile, and her warmth. Her spirit will be carried on the hearts of the many people who knew and loved her. Celebrations of Anita’s life were held in Laytonville, CA and Los Altos, CA. Donations in Anita’s memory may be made to: College Bound Fund, co: Tara Slichter, 135 S 84th Street, Suite 135, Milwaukee, WI 53214. PA I D

MEMORIAL
Phillip Brock Zschokke Phillip was a fourth generation Palo Altan and great grandson to Anna P. Zschokke, Palo Alto’s first resident and the “Mother of Palo Alto Schools”. Phillip was a beloved son, brother, uncle, grandfather, friend and businessman. He was born on June 2, 1933 to the late Alice Brock Zschokke and late Fremont Older Zschokke at the Palo Alto Hospital. On July 20, 2012 at the age of 79, he passed away peacefully in the comforts of his family home in Palo Alto. As a track star he graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1951. He later joined the U.S. Air Force in 1952 where he served in the Korean War and in 1956 he was honorably discharged. Phillip owned and operated several businesses, the B&Z Precision Machine Shop in Palo Alto, a Round Table Pizza in Sunnyvale and he was a partner in the Island Food and Grog in Palo Alto. He was passionate about his garden and his tomatoes where a testament to that. He was a lifelong lover of sports who knew anything and everything about sports, past and present. He played in and coached the Palo Alto Rugby league where he made lifelong friendships, he was a 49er season ticket holder since 1971, and he was an avid fisherman. It wasn’t unusual to find Phillip sitting on the front porch with his sleeves rolled up soaking in rays of sunshine. He made it a daily habit to keep a watchful eye on the comings and goings in the neighborhood. Often
times he was joined by a neighbor or passer-by who relished in his story telling. His sense of humor along with sarcastic one liners always left his visitors in a better disposition. Phillip is survived by his wife of 42 years Jo’Anne Zschokke, his son Donald Zschokke, two daughters and their husbands Chauntelle and Joe Trefz, Alice and John Riley, and 6 grandchildren, Brandon Zschokke, Jamie Zschokke, Iris Riley, Violet Riley, Emerson Trefz and Harrison “Flipp” Trefz, his stepmother Bobbie Zschokke and her daughter Adrienne Gunari, along with many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents Fremont and Alice (Brock) Zschokke, and sisters Donna Butts, Carol Ray and Sandra Williams. In beloved and fond memory Phillip was “like a million, hard to make”. A memorial service will be held at Roller Hapgood & Tinney on Tuesday, August 14th at 11:00am. Interment will be at Alta Mesa Memorial Park next to his Grandparents Arthur and Jeanette Zschokke and his mother Alice Brock Zschokke. In lieu of flowers a donation to the American Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. PA I D
