James Grigsby

James Grigsby

GRIGSBY, James "Jim, Jamie" Fredrick

Our kind, loving, sweet, and thoughtful Jim left us on September 24, 2021. He was born and raised in Riverside, CA. He began playing golf with his father at age five. He played golf for Polytechnic High, University of CA, Davis & College of the Desert. This gave him the opportunity to compete all around the world. It was his passion. He was a fabulous cook, and everyone loved his ribs. Jim had a love for gardening. For the past 30 years he enjoyed helping seniors with their health insurance. Jim leaves behind his loving family, his beautiful daughter, Katherine "Katie" Sue Grigsby; his mother, Katherine H. Grigsby; his sister, Robyn "Byron" Beck and his longtime companion, Amy Jo Horner. Preceded by his father, James L. Grigsby.

A celebration of life will be at Forty Niner Country Club on Sunday, October 10, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. on the 10th hole. Memorial contributions will go towards a bench at the golf course. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Dodge Chapel.

REIF, Cheryl Lynn (Watkins)

February 3, 1947 - October 1, 2021

Survived by husband, Richard Reif; son, Eric Reif; daughter, Kate Reif Goldstein; brother, Steve Watkins and grandchildren, Jacob and Sarah. Cheryl was preceded by her mother and father, Lois and Maynard Watkins and her brothers, Richard and Gary.

Raised in Salina, Kansas, she traveled the sky as a flight attendant before she met and married her husband Richard in Tucson, Arizona. After the birth of their two children, Cheryl devoted her life and soul to the support and love of her family. With a heart larger than life, her whole being centered on the care of others. She volunteered countless hours to enriching the lives of children. From her children's school functions to Angel Charity for Children and Project Linus, she gifted the youth of Tucson with her exuberance, love, and care. Cheryl was a fighter; having survived an autoimmune disease in the early 2000's, she continued to battle lingering effects until she passed from complications of pneumonia on October 1st in Tucson.

She, her love and strength will forever be remembered and celebrated with the greatest of joy.

No services are planned at this time. Well wishes are welcomed, but in leu of flowers please send donations in Cheryl's name to Angel Charity for Tucson, Tucson Conquistadors, or Project Linus of Tucson. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY.
