Blyth Janine Bentley

Blyth Janine Bentley passed away Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013 after a five-year fight against cancer.

Blyth was born to Fred and Carole Redman on August 11, 1957 in Downey, Calif. She moved to Lake Almanor in 1967 and attended Chester Elementary and high school, graduating in 1975. She met the love of her life, John Bentley, in 1985 and they were married Aug. 9, 1986. Blyth and John were a perfect match in all of their endeavors — from working hard to having fun. Blyth and John lived in Chester until moving to their Janesville ranch in 2001.

Her strength and unyielding spirit was apparent in all she did. Blyth loved to ski. Following her first radiation treatment she set off for Mt. Rose to spend the afternoon skiing with her sister. She was dedication to her friends, family and community. Blyth was an amazing cook. She worked in various restaurants and in the family business. Her favorite pastime was riding her horses around Lassen and Plumas counties with her husband and friends. Her dogs were always by her side.

She is survived by her husband, John Bentley; her mother, Carole Johnson; her three sisters, Paige Broglio, Yvonne Kendziora and Tina Danelia; her two daughters, Jeanene Taylor and Jessica Anderson; and her two grandchildren, Haaken and Per Anderson.

Blyth will be remembered for her unwavering strength, positive attitude and beautiful smile. We love you Blyth.
