Longtime Denair High School teacher and community resident Billie Berniece Black died April 18. She had just marked her 101st birthday on March 29.

Miss Black was born in Oklahoma and also lived in Missouri before moving with her family to Denair in 1929. She lived in the Denair and Turlock area for the rest of her life.

She graduated from Denair High in 1933, then attended Modesto Junior College and Biola University, where she earned a BA degree in Christian education.

Miss Black worked at Turlock Lumber Co. as a secretary and bookkeeper until the beginning of World War II, when she transferred to the Government Evacuation Hospital in Modesto for wounded soldiers.

When the war was over, she earned a master’s degree and secondary teaching credential from the University of California at Berkeley. She then joined the staff at Denair High School and taught history and business there for 36 years, retiring in 1976.

She was a member of the Denair Missionary Church for 50 years before joining the Turlock Evangelical Free Church in Turlock.

She is survived by one niece, Dr. Deanna Sharpe of Missouri; one grand-niece, Pam Domecq of Sacramento; and one grand-nephew, Allen Domecq of Modesto.

A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 29 at Denair Cemetery.

 

Love Denair Scheduled for April 29

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again and we are looking for your help! Come show some community spirit and help with our Love Denair clean up project. The event will take place, rain or shine, on April 29, 2017, at 9:00 am.  We will meet on Sante Fe Avenue, at the Amtrak Staition. Bring gloves, rakes, and cordless weed eaters, if you have them. Let’s clean up to make our town beautiful! We will also have two large dumpsters located at Connecting Points Church on Waring and Monte Vista, where you can do some spring cleaning of your own! Dumpsters will be available on Saturday morning starting at 9:00 am. Please remember they cannot accept the certain items, like toxic chemicals, paint, oils, weed killers, tires and such. A big thank you goes out to Turlock Scavenger for their wonderful donation again this year!

Our main project this year was to team up with our amazing Lions Club to purchase a couple items to make Denair a little more inviting. A bench for outside of our Library, and a picnic table in the grassy triangle across from Library as well, to enjoy some shade. And yes, the WiFi reaches there!

Thanks in advance for stepping up and making this happen!
