Patsy Joan Morton - April 18, 1933 - November 21, 2021

Departed: 11/21/2021 (Moorpark)

Obituary Preview: Patsy Morton age 88, passed away on November 21, 2021 at her home in Moorpark. She was born in Iowa, the daughter of Lawrence and Virgina Crabb; the second of seven children. She was married to her husband William Morton for over 61 years. They lived in Simi Valley for over 35 years and then retired in Moorpark where she lived for over 25 years. She is survived by her husband William Morton, her sister Cheryl Christensen, her daughters Robin Sanchez, Marlene Walsh, Roberta Morton, and Michelle Morton, her son Marshall Morton, her 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Her request was “I want everyone to be happy. I lived a full life and I have so many grandkids and great grandkids, The Lord is good.” Our mom and dad took family very seriously. Always with us kids, going places, seeing extended family, cooking family dinners, camping, cleaning and of course ironing, mom loved to iron and clean, and boy was she good at it. Growing up if mom couldn’t sleep she would either clean, especially the floors, or move furniture around. We would wake up to the living room being rearranged overnight. Mom loved the Lord and the best thing her and my dad did was introduce us kids to Jesus and the church. When we were growing up we lived right around the corner from the church we attended. If mom wasn’t at home she was either at choir practice, bible study or gardening at the church. She loved taking care of the church grounds, pulling weeds, planting new flowers, trimming and pruning. She was a woman who was always upbeat, always saw the best in people, not the bad. She loved talking and meeting people, even if you only met her once you were her friend for life. She was truly a woman us girls looked up too. Over the years she would have falls, many of falls, many broken bones and many tumbles and hospital stays. She would always bounce back, she was one tough cookie. She would tell us that God was telling her to slow down, and we would say “than why aren’t you listening.” With all the falls she wouldn’t be able to attend church for a while. She served in guest services and greeted people as they came in at the door (which she loved doing), and all she would keep asking us was, “the church isn’t going to take my door away are they.” My mom loved worship. There are two special worship leaders that my mom loved. Sarah lynn who my mom loved and adored is singing today and Ilene Loop who unfortunately wasn’t able to be here. She sent us a music cd and the last two songs on my moms slideshow is Ilene singing. She loved the Lord, loved her family, and loved her church and friends.

When mom became a grandmother and then a great grandmother, it brought a twinkle to her eyes. She was always helping out and doing what she could and loved it when the kids were around. She loved her looney tunes, Tigger and playing cards, which included a bit of gambling. I know she loved our dad, Bill. Another example for us kids to watch and learn from. They were married over 61 years, not an easy feat, and they looked out for each other and us kids. We will now look out for dad, just as she would want us too, and be there for him like he’s been there for us. We love you Dad! The pain and heartbreak that we all feel is unbearable but knowing mom is in heaven with our Lord and savior, and her family and friends who have gone before her, our hearts are happy as we know she is happy and is home with the Lord. I know as she stands before the Lord he is saying “ well done my good and faithful servant.” We love you and miss you mom!

Barbara K. Orechoff - September 06, 1960 - April 05, 2021

Departed: 04/05/2021 (Moorpark)

Obituary Preview: Barbara Orechoff, devoted wife and mother, and community leader passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, April 5th, 2021. A native of Highland Park, California, she showed her sense of adventure and insatiable desire for new experiences early on – moving to France to study international business administration at the American College of Paris and eventually starting her career there and becoming a leader at Citibank France. She said: “It was a wonderful time of my life” where she “got to know her local neighborhood, the restaurants, the shops, it was charming”. Paris was only made better when she met her now-husband of 33 years, Michael, during a psychology class at ACP in 1979.

Michael proposed to her in Paris in 1987 and yes she did accept! Barbara moved back to New Jersey from Paris in 1988 to be with Michael. They married in a civil ceremony in August 1988 with a religious ceremony in September 1988 in Washington D.C. In the following years, she gave birth to two children – Alex and Marie. Barbara was always dedicated to making the lives of her family and friends better – and this was best evidenced by her decision to become a stay-at-home mom. Through these years, she tirelessly made every holiday more special for those around her, refined her prowess for home cooking, and instilled her love of the arts in her children. Her son will always remember the summer holidays, where she would share her favorite movies with her children. Many will remember the chocolates, hazelnut brittle, or Vodka cordials she would give to friends and clients annually at Christmas and the formidable meals she would cook around the holidays for her family. Others were always first to Barbara.

As her children got older, Barbara returned to the workforce, building her business from scratch to become one of her firm’s most accomplished investment advisors. It was a role suited for her – it was another way for her to help others thrive. She was quoted: “It's a way of helping folks get their act together," she said. "You look at the whole picture and make sure the 'what ifs' are taken care of." Her success was a testament to her work ethic, integrity, and aspirations for others.

Her work wasn’t the only place she touched: she proudly was president and the community service chairs of the Moorpark Morning Rotary Club, was a founding member of the Moorpark Toastmasters, volunteered her financial expertise at the Moorpark Active Adult Center, and read to children regularly at Arroyo West school, and led multiple efforts for USC. A list of Barbara's community efforts include:: · Rotarian – Moorpark Morning Rotary Club –President 2011-2012 · Rotary Avenue of Service Award and Master PRLS Graduate & Instructor · Rotary District 5240 Vocational Service Chair 2016-17 · USC Town and Gown – Committee Member · Trojan League of the Valley Associates. Current President · Moorpark Active Adult Center · Moorpark Education Foundation - Board Member · Simi Valley Hospital Foundation – Hats Off Committee Member · Women's Information Network-Simi Valley (WINS) Special Projects Chair · Moorpark Chamber of Commerce - 2009-2014 Board of Directors

First and foremost, she believed in being of service to others. "It's paying it forward if I'm able to help out," she said. She accomplished all of this despite battling cancer for over 10 years.

Her family and friends are incredibly proud of the lasting positive impact she has made on their lives and the greater community. Her memory will live on in all the selfless actions she took throughout her life and the example she set relentlessly struggling against any challenge in her past. She leaves behind her husband, Michael, her son Alex, her father Leon, her brother Leon Jr., and niece Elizabeth and the multitude of friends she has made here in Moorpark and abroad. We will all miss her dearly and look forward to the day we can see her again. She is predeceased by her daughter Marie, her mother Kazimiera Waszak and her mother in law Catherine Orechoff.

Channeling her eternal selflessness, we invite donations in her honor to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation as well as your time volunteering to continue the many endeavors she embarked on in the community.

Obituary Preview: The beautiful Dakota Rose Walthall was born on July 28, 1995 in Thousand Oaks, CA and passed on November 25, 2019 in Lancaster, CA. She is survived by her father Chris, her mother Suzette, and her two brothers, Braden and Cooper. She graduated Class of 2013 with honors at Cleburne High School in Cleburne, TX. She continued her studies at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, CA followed by becoming a certified Registered Phlebotomy Technician in the state of Maryland, then coming back to California and getting her certification through UCLA for all 50 states. She loved painting and her music. She also loved animals so much she wanted to be a part time dog walker so she could love all the doggies. She loved anything outdoors, camping, hiking, swimming, and any kind of off-road sports. She loved shopping, drinking iced coffees, taking road trips, and especially loved getting mani-pedis with her daddy. She also loved the occasional Red Bull. Nothing flattered her more than when people would think that she and her younger brother Braden were twins, and she was always eager to hear her brother Cooper's stories, especially he claimed he knew how to read minds. Dakota was enthusiastic about so many things and always gave with her whole heart, but she was also a very private person as well. Like any 24 year old girl, she had to learn things for herself, she truly walked her own path. She was brave, kind, and courageous, and rarely took no for an answer. She had an amazing work ethic and never had a problem making friends whether at work, in the community, or just walking down the street,. She could often be heard making remarks such as "Awe Crap" or "OK Hamflower" or speaking in a goofy Russian accent. She lit up a room with her smile and put you in stitches with her laugh. We hope you can feel the sunshine now, Princess. Your love and light will forever be missed.
