“Please accept this donation in my dad’s name, William (Bill) P. Lockett. Dad started in the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital at the height of the pandemic in 2020. Luckily, he had very slight COVID symptoms and came through with flying colors.

Due to Parkinson’s disease and wheelchair bound with some memory issues – he was placed into the Memory Care section. Upon the “closure,” we transferred him to Gloria’s Country Care. Papa passed away at 91 on April 10, 2022.

Papa was a hardworking farmer in the Sutter Basin. Married to Jean Lockett for 67 years, raised five children, and had a wonderful busy life. His biggest passion was traveling all over the world; supporting the various farm organizations (Sutter Basin Co-op, Cal Aggies; and watching his grandson and great-grandson grow up.

My Grandma, Marjorie H. Benner, was a resident of St. John’s many years ago. There is a plaque with her name by the door of her apartment where she first lived. As a patient of Alzheimer’s disease, she progressed through the various stages of care, eventually passing away at Stollwood Convalescent Care.

St. John’s took excellent care of my family and I am so relieved to have the knowledge it will be around for later generations.”
