LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Sept. 19, 2020, will be forever a day of remembrance for the Norton family. On this day, sadly John J. Norton III passed peacefully in his sleep due to the medical issues he had so bravely fought off the last few years, and the sadness of losing his son John J Norton IV on Sept. 11, 2020.
His loved ones left to carry on his memory are Lorrie, beloved spouse of 26 unforgettable years; beloved sister, Susan Comtois; brother, Paul Norton; John’s other son, Ryan Villanueva, and daughter, Tammy Villanueva; and his five treasured grandchildren, Kyleigh, Lana, Jayden, Jordon and Jack.
John J Norton III was a loving husband, father, brother and son. He was his sibling’s fiercest protector as a young man.
He has now found peace and is free of all the earthly problems. He will be forever missed, more than words can say.
A celebration of life will be held later when family and friends can rejoice together.
Compassion and care entrusted to Jones Mortuary FD311, telephone, 707-263-5389, www.jonesmortuarylakeport.com / www.facebook.com/jonesmortuarylakeport.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Alice Annette Knauss, 88, died Oct. 12, 2020, at home in Kelseyville.
Alice was born on Feb. 8, 1932, in San Francisco, California, to Ree and Ruth Beeman. She grew up in Hayward and moved to Lake County during her junior year in high school.
She graduated from Kelseyville Union High School, where she was perhaps best known for the prank of placing a skunk's scent sac into the school's heating vents, leading to not only the evacuation of the entire school but its closure for two days until the air cleared.
After short stints of living in Oxnard, California, and Amarillo, Texas, from 1951 to 1952, Alice lived the remainder of her life in Kelseyville.
She married early, at age 20, but it didn't last. Alice was no quitter, so she gave it a shot three more times. Although it didn't work out with any of the husbands, she remained life-long friends with all of them.
Alice loved flower gardening, mystery novels, her grandchildren, men, beer, crime dramas, all types of music, dogs and raccoons. Not necessarily in that order. She hated warm beer and stuck up people. Not necessarily in that order.
Alice is predeceased by her siblings, Margaret, Evelyn, Barbara and Robert; and by her son, Michael.
She leaves behind daughters, Lane (husband Ariki) and Susan (husband, Steve; children, Jasper and Ruth).
