Pauline Brooks
Pauline went to sleep peacefully Thursday, June 7, 2012 at Banner Lassen Medical Center in Susanville, Calif. with loving family by her side.
She loved gardening, sewing and raising chickens. What she loved most though was her family. She loved every chance she got to spend with each of her six children, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even her great-great-grandchildren. Pauline was always known to those who knew her as either “Mom” or “Grandma” because she was the role model for both. She will always be remembered as the one you go to if you ever needed to know how to cook, sew, garden or anything you can imagine, grandma always had the answer. She has taught everyone so much in life. She will be greatly missed by anyone and everyone who knew her.
Pauline is survived by her daughters, Janice Brooks, of Susanville and Joyce Sullens, of Coos Bay, Ore.; and her sons, Jack Brooks, of Susanville, Jerry Brooks, of Susanville and Jim Brooks, of McCall, Idaho.
Pauline was preceded in death by her son, Gene Brooks, of Susanville.
Per Pauline's request there will be no services.

Dean was preceded in death by his father, Burl Arthur Tackett and his sister, Ellen Inez Lair.
Dean married his wife, Diane, in 1980 in Escondido, Calif. In May they celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary with a trip to Catalina, attending his 50th Escondido High School Class Reunion.
Dean and his family moved to Chester in 1983 from Lake Forest in Southern California and opened Chester Photo and Camera, remaining there for 15-1/2 years. In 1998 they moved to another Lake Forest, this one in Susanville. Dean loved living in Susanville - he loved the snow, blowing the snow and being involved with the small community in which he lived.
As a child, living in Arizona near a Hobo Camp at the train tracks, he enjoyed dressing as a hobo and pretending he was one of the train jumpers. In high school he played tuba in the band and had the opportunity to play in the Rose Parade and at the 1960 VIII Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley.
At 18 and right out of high school, Dean and his high school buddy, Dick Yohner, now of Julian, Calif., joined the Army National Guard. They remained good friends until Dean's death.
During Dean's life, he held many jobs such as grocery, traveling salesman for many companies including Kodak, to Lassen County correctional officer and retiring as a High Desert State Prison correctional officer in 2007.
Dean had been a board member of the Lake Forest Mutual Water Company and in December of 2001 he became a state certified distribution operator to help maintain the water system in Lake Forest and remained such until his death. He was also the current president of the Lake Forest Fire Protection District.
During Dean's life he's enjoyed many hobbies such as surfing, camping, fishing, gold panning, water skiing and travel. He had just started a new metal detecting hobby prior to his death.
Dean is survived by his mother, Inez Dobos, of Susanville; wife, Diane, of Susanville; two daughters, Elizabeth Tackett, of Susanville and Yvonne Johnson, of Redmond, Ore.; one son, Kevin Tackett (Nezzera), of Lemoore, Calif.: stepson, David Dopps (Teryl), of Romoland, Calif.; and five grandchildren.
Dean was a kind, caring and gentle man. He will be greatly missed.
