Marshall Greenberg

Marshall Greenberg died May 5, 2005, at his home at University Retirement Community in Davis. He was 85.

A memorial service will begin at 3 p.m. Friday, June 3, at University Retirement Community, 1515 Shasta Drive.

Born in San Francisco March 3, 1920, to Louis and Mary Greenberg, he was 2 when the family moved to Los Angeles. He graduated from George Washington High School there in 1937 and attended UCLA for three years. His schooling was interrupted by work at North American Aviation as an electrician and safety check specialist.

He left North American Aviation to volunteer for the United States Army. He was in the U.S. Army, 28th Infantry Division, the European theater, from 1943 to 1944, when a rheumatological illness required him to be hospitalized in France, followed by England, then returned to the United States.

He often said that illness saved his life as the rest of his unit fought in the Battle of the Bulge and most did not survive. Back in the United States, he was assigned as a separation counselor and was discharged in 1946.

He returned to school at UC Berkeley, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1947 and master's degree in social work in 1951.

He worked as a psychiatric social worker at the Jewish Family Agency in San Francisco from 1951 to 1966. He took a nine-month leave from that agency in March of 1962 to become an Ulpan student and laborer at Kibbutz Ein Hashophet, Israel.

A childhood dream to become a farmer (documented by a note his mother had from his school days) was fulfilled when, in 1966, he moved with his wife from San Francisco to Sonoma County where he worked part-time on the Salinger sheep ranch, north of Santa Rosa.

In addition, he worked as a psychiatric social worker at the Sonoma County Mental Health Clinic outpatient services. In 1970, he became the coordinator of outpatient services of the Mendocino County Mental Health Department, retiring from there in 1982.

His first marriage in 1942 was to Mary Galenson. They were divorced in 1948. On March 1, 1962, he and Mary Louise Nuessle of San Francisco were married in Nicosia, Cyprus, their religious differences making it impossible to obtain a legal marriage in Israel.

In 1970, the couple moved to a home they built east of Geyserville. While there, he volunteered as a tutor with the Sonoma County Laubach Literacy League and served on the board of the Friends of the Healdsburg Library.

His family described him as a gardener, voracious reader, sports car enthusiast, horse owner and rider, and after a move to the University Retirement Community, an avid pool player.

He was preceded in death by a cousin, Mervyn Nerenbaum of Los Angeles.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Louise; and his cousins, Lewis Nerenbaum of Los Angeles, Frances Bulwa of Ojai, Eleanor Murray of San Jose and Robert Apte of Berkeley.

Memorial donations may be made to Yolo Hospice or to the University Retirement Community Foundation.

Elsie Louise Gysbers

Elsie Louise Gysbers died following a severe stroke on May 3, 2005, at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield. She was 84.

Born in Phoenix, Ariz., on Oct. 18, 1920, to William and Louise Gough, she grew up in the San Diego and El Cajon areas. After completing her elementary and high school education, she entered Pomona College where she majored in mathematics and graduated in 1942. She then attended the University of Michigan Graduate School where she earned her master's degree in actuarial science.

Following her formal education, she went to work for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. in New York City. Later, on the West Coast, she worked for several other insurance companies. During this time she successfully passed the series of examinations that elevated her to become a Fellow in the American Academy of Actuaries. She was one of the first women in the United States to achieve the status of an actuary.

Her family said she loved the wonder and beauty of nature, including gardening, flowers and trees. She hiked, camped, traveled and was a member of the Sierra Club for many decades. Her other passions were cooking, reading, sewing and television mysteries.

She was a fervent believer and participant in the League of Women Voters for more than 40 years where, among other roles, she used her mathematical skills to serve as treasurer.

She was preceded in death by her son, Tor; and by her brother, Bill Gough, who was killed in World War II.

She is survived her husband of 53 years, Derk Gysbers of Davis; her daughters, Barbara Kennedy Williams of Boise, Idaho; Diane Gysbers and her husband Jon Ewing of Venice; and Bonni Gysbers of Los Angeles; her sister, Dorothy Bigley; four nieces and two nephews; and numerous great nieces and nephews.

No memorial services will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Davis League of Women Voters.
