Find-a-Grave"Grieved passing distinguished, consecrated pioneer Dagmar Dole, outstanding record unforgettable, reward bountiful. Praying progress soul Kingdom." SHOGHI
Dagmar Dole was born in San Francisco, California, on June 14, 1902. Her life became consecrated to the work of teaching the Baha'i Faith and part of this service was done in the land of her mother's forebears-Denmark. On November 12, while the Baha'i world was celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Baha'u'llah, Dagmar passed to the Abha Kingdom.
She had been in ill health for some months. She arrived for the Luxembourg Conference but became too ill to participate. Arrangements were immediately made for her to be sent to the Valmont Clinic, situated in one of the loveliest spots of Switzerland, above Montreux. Here for two months Dagmar rested and received treatment. On November 8 she became very ill, passed into a state of unnconsciousness and five days later slipped through the "Open Door" to pioneer in the worlds of God.
In California, through her friend Marion Holley Hofman, Dagmar had first heard of the Baha'i Faith and immediately accepted it. Hers was an active Baha'i life. Soon after becoming a declared believer she and her close friend, Virginia Orbison, went to Glendale, California, to help maintain Assembly status. She then became active in Committee work for Central and South America and served as Chairman of the Inter-America Committee. Later she journeyed to Alaska, and did valuable work in consolidating the Baha'i community on that frontier. From Anchorage she went to the Bristol Bay area in the Bering Sea, and worked among the Eskimos and Alaskan Indians working in the fishing industry. Her service to these minority people cannot be measured. She won their friendship because she gave them her love and compassion. She served them both materially and spiritually. She was their friend. Dagmar then was assigned to Copenhagen, Denmark. Here again she served the Faith she loved so well with steadfastness and courage. Her record in Denmark is rich. She, along with other pioneers and Johanne Hoeg, was instrumental in bringing forty-seven believers into the Faith in Denmark.
Her last pioneer assignment was to Italy, where she served both in Naples and in Milan. In the village of Glion, high on the slopes of the Swiss Alps, lies Dagmar-where in the springtime the white narcissus pour out their fragrance and the snow-capped mountains eternally stand sentinel. Snow was softly falling, covering everything in a mantle of white, as members of Dagmar's family, and her Baha'i friends from all over Switzerland gathered for the funeral service. During her short stay in Valmont, Dagmar had won the hearts of the entire staff. The doctors, nurses, the maids, all came to pay their last tribute because they, too, loved her. "She died in 'battle dress,"' said the Guardian; "it is wonderful to die in active service." Looking up at those majestic mountains one was reminded of the qualities of Dagmar- nobility and strength. Thinking of the starry white narcissus that will blossom over those mountain slopes, one saw her innate purity; that delicate shyness and awareness that were hers. "Her spiritual station is very high." These words of the Guardian gave us a sense of pure joy. "Her grave will be a great blessing to Switzerland-to all Europe. She is the first to give her life for the Cause in the European project. Her resting-place is important."

March 28, 2013Emmet Hathaway Jones died peacefully at home in Mendocino surrounded by loved ones on Feb. 27, 2013, four days short of 101.
Emmet will always be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, his loving kindness, his steadfastness and the twinkle in his eyes. Gentle and soft-spoken, Emmet was a man of few words and a keen intellect. He had a deep interest in science, the seas, ships, boats, engineering and the natural world. His innate curiosity led him to read extensively and to travel. Asked recently how he kept going, Emmet responded, "I live each day to the fullest."
Emmet was born on March 3, 1912, and grew up on the water in Alameda and Burlingame. He was educated at San Mateo Junior College and UC Berkeley. He worked for Spreckles Sugar at the south end of San Francisco Bay and then became an apprentice in the machine shop at Bethlehem Steel, Shipbuilding Division near Hunters Point, San Francisco. Emmet had the great fortune to love his work and spent 40 years at Bethlehem, working his way up to become naval architect, designer and builder of ships. The most memorable moments of his career were when he'd pull the lever to launch a ship out of dry-dock into San Francisco Bay, with the fervent hope that it would stay afloat.
There were many memorable projects during Emmet's time at Bethlehem which called upon his skills as a naval architect and mechanical engineer. As well as working on building many troopships, he designed support structures for the planetarium projector at the Academy of Sciences, designed components for the SF cable car system, designed barges for the Prudhoe Bay sea lift, designed and supervised launching of the BART tubes and was project engineer during design and construction of a 65,000-ton floating drydock.
Emmet was a member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the North East Coast Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Oceanic Society, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, International Oceanographic Foundation, and the Peabody Museum.
Emmet and his brothers loved to sail on their boat, Monsoon. Later Emmet had his own boat, Cara, a Folkboat, which he sailed and raced on San Francisco Bay. He loved adventures and enabled his family to experience Nature in all its glory, vacationing in Yosemite, the Trinity Alps, exploring back roads and finding new places with natural wonders. He trekked Annapurna in the Himalayas at the age of 60.
As a young boy, Emmet lived in Japan and the Philippines where his father, Emmet Renwick Jones, was the Far Eastern representative of the Dollar Steamship Line. Emmet's mother, Marion Dole Jones, was raised in Kauai, Hawaii. Emmet enjoyed visiting Hawaii to trace his family history as well as Wales where there is an entire village of Joneses.
Emmet married Edith Crain Jones in 1940, moved to Piedmont, Calif., and had two children, Elizabeth (Betsy/Liz) and Timothy (Tim). After Edith's passing in 1972, he married Rosemary Sturgis Henes in 1978, and they were together in Mendocino for 35 years. After his retirement, Emmet and Rosemary enjoyed travel to England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Alaska and New Zealand. In Mendocino, Emmet enjoyed identifying ships passing the North Coast and noting whether he'd had a hand in their design, construction or refitting.
Emmet is survived by his wife, Rosemary, and her daughter, Marylynn Henes; his daughter Liz Jones; his grandsons, David and Daniel Radford; his nephew, Wil Jones and niece, Margaret Biggs. His son, Tim, predeceased him.

January 8, 2014JANET DOLE TUFFLI Janet Dole Tuffli died peacefully of natural causes on Sunday, December 22, at the age of 97. She was born to Norman and Dorothy Dole on October 1, 1916 in Alameda, CA.
She grew up in Burlingame, CA with her parents and brothers, Norman and Charlie.. Her life-long interest in drama started at an early age. When she was in kindergarten it was discovered that she could project, so she was given a role in the school play as one of Santa's elves. Stanford was her university of choice: Janet often said that, "My father was one of 13 children, 9 of whom attended Stanford." Janet continued her love of theater by majoring in Speech and Drama, graduating in 1938.
Janet's first husband, Joe West, died after only one year of marriage. When she went to work for Roos Brothers (which later became Roos-Atkins) in San Francisco, she met and married Charles Tuffli in 1942.
They lived in San Carlos, and later in Menlo Park, where they reared their 3 children: Rick, Jill, and Heidi.
She had a long professional association with Stanford, serving as a secretary in the Department of Anthropology, and later as Administrative Assistant to the President of the university. In later years, Janet served as a docent at the San Francisco Zoo, where she had petting privileges with two tigers,, helped raise four orangutans, and had a very special relationship with a great-horned owl and a screech owl. She also traveled with the Zoomobile to visit San Francisco school children, handling "Julia Squeezer", an impressive boa constrictor. Her love of animals continued after she and Charles moved to Paradise, in Butte County, in 1981. She served on the Paradise animal shelter board, and was known locally as the "dog cookie lady" for the homemade treats she shared with all her many doggie friends.
Charles died in 1991, but Janet continued to live in Paradise. She is survived by her three children: Charles (Rick) Tuffli (Barbara); Jill T Smith (Jerry); and Heidi T Heiman (Dennis); 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
