Dolores Sigmon

DOLORES ELENOR "DEE" SIGMON, passed away peacefully at her home in Winters on Saturday, August 24, 2013, she was 84 years old. She was born to Chester R. Bagg and Thelma E. (Ramge) Bagg Couch on March 7, 1929 in Omaha, Nebraska and spent her early childhood in York, Nebraska before the family moved to Vallejo, California in 1941. After graduating from Vallejo High School in 1947 she embarked on a varied career including taking the ferry from Vallejo to San Francisco to work for the US Government and eventually retiring from Mare Island Naval Shipyard as a Payroll Clerk in June 1989. Dee was a woman of incredible grace, enduring patience, wise counsel, and loving support to her children and grandchildren. Her compassion was limitless and her sense of humor immense and she always spoke kindly of others. Her hobbies included serving The Lord, spending time with family, oil painting, ceramics, reading and puzzle solving, giving Jim Hyer, Dave Egbert and Duane Balough a hard time, animal rescue and care and being a 49er Faithful! As a young adult she loved to fish and fly small planes. Our mother was an incredible gift from God who dedicated her life to raising her daughters. Always sacrificing herself and her needs to provide the best upbringing possible. As a single mother she never had riches but rather showered us with love, compassion and a caring most could never imagine. She taught us to live with purpose and trustworthiness and love and faith. Her love, her character and her time invested in us made us the women we are today and there is no way to sufficiently express our love and gratitude. Dolores was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jerry E. Sigmon, her granddaughter Katie Marie Blevins and her siblings Dorothy Carson and Richard Bagg of Vallejo and Harold Bagg of Medford, Oregon. Surviving is her daughters Misty (Donald) Blevins and Brenda Sigmon, grandchildren Stephanie and Marshall Blevins and much loved nieces and nephews.
