Hi All,
 
Good news!  Thanks to the diligent effort of Bruce Clausse`, the list of missing classmates is reduced significantly.  I invite you to look it over to see if your name or someone that you're in touch with is listed.  I have retyped it so that it's much easier to read now. 
 
Thanks so much for your help, we have the best database we've had in years- but we still have so many missing classmates, that's the bad news.

Obituary: Helping children brought joy to teacher Sharon Williams Fanslow
By Robert D. Dávila - Bee Staff Writer

Last Updated 12:32 am PDT Wednesday, June 6, 2007
Story appeared in METRO section, Page B5

Sharon Darlene Fanslow, a teacher who reached out to students with special learning needs during almost four decades in the classroom, died Thursday. She was 63.

She died in her Sacramento home after a two-year battle with ovarian cancer, said her husband, Hal Fanslow.

Mrs. Fanslow graduated from college early and began teaching at age 21 in the Sacramento City Unified School District, said her sister, Kathy Spector. She also taught for several years in Bakersfield and spent most of her career at several schools in the San Juan Unified School District, including Mission Avenue and Mariemont elementary schools.
"She loved children and always wanted to be around children," Spector said. "She always talked about getting such joy when you see even the smallest gain a child can make."

Mrs. Fanslow devoted most of her career to students with learning disabilities, including special education. Patient and persevering, she focused attention on children in one-or-one settings and small groups, colleagues said. She also coordinated her lessons with other teachers of mainstreamed students.

"Sharon always had a warm and caring heart," former Mariemont Principal Mary Tidwell said. "She cared so very much about children and how they could be successful in life if they could be successful in school."

Mrs. Fanslow was a highly regarded teacher who received the San Juan district's "You Light the Way" award when she retired two years ago, her sister said. She also earned the respect of her students with a fair but disciplined approach and by reaching out to their families, friends said.

"She was very firm and very loving," retired colleague Martoo Beermann said. "That's a very delicate balance, and she did it beautifully."

Sharon Williams was born in 1944 in Sacramento to a homemaker mother and a father who worked on engines at what was to become Mather Air Force Base. Her parents also taught Sunday school at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, where she served as deaconness as an adult.

She graduated from Encina High School and in 1964 earned a bachelor's degree in education from what was then Sacramento State College. She also received a master's degree there and taught special education teachers at National University, Hal Fanslow said. She married her husband in 1995 after her previous marriage ended in divorce.

Mrs. Fanslow enjoyed camping, gardening, reading and cooking, especially for family dinners and barbecues with friends, Spector said. She inspired others by her battle with cancer, living a year longer than doctors expected.

"She faced cancer with courage and grace," Beermann said. "That, in a nutshell, is who Sharon was."

FANSLOW, Sharon (Williams)
nee Sharon Morris
Sharon Darlene Fanslow, born April 26, 1944, in Sacramento, passed away on Thursday, May 31, 2007, in her home while surrounded by her family.
She leaves an enduring legacy of faith, hope, and love. Sharon, a loving wife, mother, and teacher, blessed us all with her wisdom, faith and knowledge.
She bravely faced cancer with dignity and hope, and showed us all what it truly means to live life, until God ultimately healed her by taking her home. Sharon is survived by her husband Hal; her children Jana Young, Rob Morris, Andrew Morris, and Avery Fanslow; her two sisters, Kathy Spector and Nancy Nakao; and her mother Helen Morris. Sharon was in Encina High School, class of 1961, and graduated from Sac State in 1964 with her teaching credential. She taught 37 years, mostly in San Juan School District in elementary classrooms, special education, and as a resource te
