Doris Beers Beemer OBITUARY

In loving memory of Doris Beemer who passed away on 5/24/24.Doris was predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years, James G. Beemer in 2005. She lived a most wonderful life surrounded by her devoted family. She leaves children Patsy Stoneking (Sam), Jean Beemer, Rebecca Beemer (Kent Fickett) and David Beemer (Patti). Grandchildren Penny Castillero Smart (Steve), Diana Castillero Kantola (Kelly), Gina Stoneking Gray, Kimberly Stoneking Hewel (Chris), Ellena Fickett Chen (Nick), Aaron Beemer, Kevin Beemer, and Daniel Fickett. Fourteen great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren.Doris’ greatest love, pride and joy was being the matriarch of five generations. She and Jim loved nothing more than to point out that they “started all this.” It gave her great joy to attend every and all of her children’s and grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s school and sports events. Doris grew up on a ranch in Wabuska, NV, and in Fair Oaks, CA. She married the love of her life, James, at 18 in the middle of WWII. They were stationed in Georgia for a while, then back to CA where they spent most of their life together.Of all her myriad interests and talents, Doris loved most the family homes she and Jim lived in so comfortably. There she could create award winning quilts, sew, bake every cookie known, but mostly chocolate chip, and throw together incredible family meals for everyone. Only their curiosity to see the world could get them out. And see it they did: Europe, South America, Africa, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, and almost all 50 states.Because of her love of history Doris also thoroughly enjoyed being a volunteer docent in the El Dorado County Historical Museum. Rest in peace mom/grammie. You are missed.Per her request there will be no services. Please honor her memory by loving your family with all your heart, just as she did.
