Neva M. Arthur passed away at her home in Kelseyville, Calif.
She leaves behind her children, Leida Daugherty of Red Bluff, Calif.; Paul Arthur of Cody, Wyo.; Elise Kear of Kelseyville; and John Arthur of Kelseyville; 16 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren; and sister, Hellena Clemes of Pinole, Calif.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Arthur and a daughter, Peggy Arthur.
Born in her family's sod home in Nebraska to John and Elise Miller, she grew up on a 160 acre farm. There, she helped her dad harvest corn and wheat until she was 20.
She moved from Nebraska to Southern California before settling in San Jose and lived in Kelseyville for the last 26 years.
She had a green thumb and loved to garden, particularly growing flowers on her land. She had rows of iris lining her driveway, and African violets inside.
She also loved to bake and always made sure at every occasion there were chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake!
Neva's work history included working for her sister as a beautician, working in a laundry service and for two gas stations. Neva was particularly proud that she only had an eighth grade education, but still
worked her way up in the medical field to become an LVN. She was a compassionate person and loved her work.
Lastly, family was very important to her and she loved spending time with all of her children and grandchildren.
Funeral Services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Lakeport on Saturday, July 21, at 4 p.m., with a visitation at 3 p.m. Committal services will be in San Jose on Monday.

June Bernice Goettsche, nicknamed “Bunny” by her friends, passed away peacefully July 5, 2012, in Lakeport, Calif., shortly after her 91st birthday.
She was born to Sophius and Henrietta Knudtsen June 17, 1921, in Petaluma, Calif.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Goettsche; sisters, Sophia Flach and Lee Heintz; and brother, Harry Knudtsen.
Bunny is survived by her son, Douglas Bjorn and daughter-in-law, Marilyn Bjorn of San Francisco; grandson, Erik Bjorn of San Francisco; cousins, Zelda Anderson and Marion Kleinecke and their families; nephews and nieces, Allan, Donald, Frank, Roberta, Jeanne, Karen and their families.
Prior to moving to Lake County in the early 70s, Bunny lived in San Francisco. After graduating from Girls’ High School ( http://goo.gl/Uv7pV ), she went to work for the Pacific Fruit Exchange and then as a bookkeeper for Graybar Electric Co. for more than 30 years.
Bunny lived in many places in her life. One of her favorites had to be her home on the Mesa in Bolinas, Calif.
Years ago, she resided at the Will-O-Point Resort where she once owned Will-O-Point Marine and managed the resort and campgrounds with her husband in the 1970s to 1980s.
Bunny had a wonderful sense of humor and her laughter was often compared to Laughing Sal’s. She enjoyed going for early morning walks, reading, doing crossword puzzles and watching the classics on the AMC movie channel.
Bunny will be deeply missed by all her family and friends.
Many thanks to Linda, Evelyn, Maria and the rest of the staff at the Edelweiss Guest Home in Lakeport for their loving care and devotion.
