Mavis Emma (Blickle) Timothy
May 17, 1925 - September 30, 2021 Woodland, CA
At 96 years old, Mavis Timothy passed away peacefully in her home in Woodland, CA on Thursday, September 30, 2021. Mavis was born May 17, 1925 in Woodland, CA, the first of six children to Alfred and Leona (Reiff) Blickle. Mavis married Robert Timothy on January 27, 1944 at Camp Adair, OR days before Bob was deployed by the Army to Europe in WWII. They lived in Woodland their entire 68 years of marriage, until Bob passed away in 2012. After raising six children, Mavis and Bob enjoyed several travel trailer trips across the United States with Don and Dot Branigan and many fishing trips with Ivan and Betsy Baccei. The Timothy cabin in South Lake Tahoe was a very special place enjoyed by Bob and Mavis with their family. Many knew her as Aunt Sis, Mom or latest, GG (short for Great Grandma.) Her family was her everything. Mavis was known for her chocolate chip cookies and her daily 5 pm cocktail hour. She was a lifelong member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church.
Mavis is survived by son, Ronald and Jackie Timothy; son, Randy Timothy; son, Kimble and Trish Timothy; son, Kevin and Patsy Timothy; daughter, Sherri and Dave Brown; daughter, Penny and Sal Espinoza, along with 14 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and one great- grandchild on the way; brother-in-law, Howard Willis; and sister-in-law, Bernice Blickle.
Mavis was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Leona (Reiff) Blickle; husband, Robert Timothy; brothers, Alfred (Bud) Blickle, Donald Blickle, and Jerry Blickle; sisters, Eloise Willis and Doris Jansen; and grandson, Morgan Timothy.
Mavis will be missed by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family extends a very special thank you to Mavis’ caregivers over the years, Oni and especially Eta, who spent the last 1½ years caring for her.
