Grandma was born in Dorrance, Kansas in 1915, to John Quinton Miles and Anna Marie (Klusener) Miles.
She owned and operated a beauty salon in Oakland, California for 28 years, then she and grandpa bought a small cabin on the delta in Antioch, where they lived for close to 20 years. The cabin had no electricity, but grandpa would turn on the generator once per day for their soap, "Days of Our Lives". They spent a good deal of time socializing with their other retired friends, fishing and picking blackberries. (Grandma made THE BEST blackberry jelly!)
They lived a simple life and had small pleasures. They had a cat named "Ugly" and two pekingese pups, Mia and Dustin. Mia was very spoiled and would snap at me when I tried to crawl on grandma's lap for some kisses and Dustin was just the opposite, he was the sweetest little guy. Later, the two dogs died, and they adopted another named "Ginny", and when Ginny died, they got another and named him "Gin". (It got very confusing!)
After the cabin life became to much work, they moved to Marysville, California for the next 11 years, before joining the majority of thier family in Grass Valley, CA, after grandpa was diagnosed with cancer.
My grandpa, Blaine Elbert Hutton, died on December 6, 1995 and three weeks later, she joined him.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Elmer William Miles and sister Clara (Miles) Mounterot, and her parents.
Grandma was survived by her Daughters, Sharol Lee (Hutton) Barnett of Nevada City, California and Valerie Jean Santos of Grass Valley, California, son Kenneth Blaine Hutton of Cameron Park, California, brothers John Anthony Miles of Brentwood, California and Emmett Ralph Miles of Placerville, California; grandchildren, Dawn, Terri, and Kelli Barnett; Joe, Mark, David, Chris and Erick Hutton; Stacy and Zak Santos, and 11 great-granchildren.
