In memoriam: Funeral notices, August 14, 2022

On Friday, July 22, 2022, surrounded by loved ones, Arcadio set sail to the heavens above.  Arcadio was affectionately known as Callo & Callito. He was a first generation Tucsonan, Tucson High School graduate, and a proud WWII Navy Veteran.  He married his loving wife Barbara Jane (Burgoon) Borboa. He is predeceased by his first wife Hortencia Burruel Borboa, son Roberto Borboa, parents Arcadio and Manuela Borboa, brothers Gabriel, Mike (Socorro), George (Mary), Raul Borboa, sisters Isabel McPherson, Sister Mary Pierre and niece Maria Smith.  He is survived by wife Barbara; daughters Patricia Guzman (Carlos +), Barbara Salazar (Rudy), Teresa, and an adopted son Jimmy Borboa, thirteen grandchildren and 26 great- grandchildren. Arcadio is also survived by four siblings, Josephine Marquez  (Benny +), Robert (Adelita +), Enrique (Marva), and Mary Ornelia (Felix), and many nephews and nieces. Arcadio retired in 1989 from Davis Monthan Air Force Base working in Civil Service in the wood mill.  He was very spiritual, humble and kind.  He always saw the good in people. He was also a very giving person and always thought of others before himself. He was the oldest brother of 11 siblings. His siblings always looked up to him and always considered him a very good and kind brother. Though he was quiet in demeanor, he never stopped amazing everyone with his quick wit and sound memory. Children and animals alike gravitated to his gentle and caring manner. He always had funny sounds or noises he would invent to amuse his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards, grocery shopping, couponing, watching the Price is Right, the Arizona Diamond Backs, cat naps, humming to himself, and eating a biscuit with a cup of coffee in the morning. In his earlier years he enjoyed playing his harmonica every evening. Callo was loved by many and will be missed beyond words. A Rosary will be recited on Saturday, August 20th at 10:30 followed by 11:00 Mass at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church 801 N. Grande Avenue.

Diane Lee Deyoe of Tucson, Arizona, passed away peacefully at home on August 8, 2022, at the age of 74 after a heroic discourse with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her spouse of 30 years, Connie Stapleton, many beloved friends and family. She was a strong, caring and compassionate woman who was intensely loyal to those who surrounded her.   Diane was born July 25, 1948, in Niskayuna, New York. She lived in Rotterdam, New York for seven years with her grandparents Cornelia Wright Vitch and Philip Vitch and her parents. In 1959, the Deyoes moved to Tucson.  At the time Speedway was one lane east and one lane west. Diane attended Rincon High School and graduated in 1966. She loved band and was first alto saxophonist.   In 1967, as member of the University of Arizona Symphonic Marching Band, Diane played in the half-time show for the first Super Bowl at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. She liked to remind people that she played in Super Bowl I. This was the beginning of a lifetime of performance, first with her own band, The Fairer Sax, and later with the Arizona Symphonic Winds, where she was principal saxophonist for 20 years.   In 1973, Diane graduated from the University of Arizona with a BA in English Education. She went to work for the Anaconda Mining Company as a heavy equipment operator. She was a pioneer in the Arizona mining industry as one of the first women to hold a job previously restricted to men.   In 1976, she began teaching in the Tucson Unified School District and spent the next 30 years teaching critical thinking skills to more than 5000 students. Her sense of humor brightened her classroom and helped her connect to her children.   Diane earned her Master of Education degree in 1986. She was also co-chair of the Tucson chapter of the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) for 15 years.   Although she had been all over the world, in 2017 she went by herself on the adventure of a lifetime to Antarctica on the National Geographic Explorer, a transformational experience she cherished the rest of her life.   Diane leaves us as an infinite being of light, merely changing dimensions as she continues her journey. A memorial service will be held at a future date.   Arrangements by Neptune Society.

Wanda Howell of Cincinnati passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on the morning of Sunday, July 17th, 2022. Wanda Lou Ford was born to Dorothy Marie Knott and Willie James Ford on December 18th, 1949 in Henry County, Tennessee. Wanda, the second of three daughters, grew up on a small subsistence farm in rural Tennessee until the family moved to Memphis and then to Cincinnati when she was nine. While Wanda was in grade school, a teacher told her mother that she was a gifted student and should go to college. Dorothy saved over the years, and Wanda became one of the first two members of her extended family to earn a university degree. After receiving a B.S. from Miami University of Ohio, an M.Ed. from the University of Cincinnati, a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and working as a registered dietician for hospitals and universities in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, Wanda began her career in academia in Tucson, Arizona. Wanda started at the University of Arizona in 1986 as a lecturer in the Department of Nutritional Sciences, and retired thirty years later as a University Distinguished Professor and Director of the Didactic Dietetics Program. Throughout her career, Wanda was at the forefront of research in her field, publishing widely in respected scholarly journals and monographs, and receiving dozens of honors and awards. Due to her research on the health benefits of eggs, she proudly accepted the title of "The Egg Lady." Wanda also shaped future generations of scholars and dieticians, teaching thousands of undergraduates and mentoring over a dozen Ph.D. and masters students. In addition to her own achievements, Wanda always gave back, serving as the Chair of the Faculty Senate for nearly a decade, and writing over 500 letters of recommendation for her students and colleagues.   Outside of her professional life, Wanda was always curious and adventurous. She pursued many interests, including cheerleading, skiing, fencing, bowling, bridge, aerobics, and piloting small aircraft. She also loved to travel, visiting places like Japan, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. She also enjoyed spending quiet time either with loved ones or on her own, reading, cooking, tending her plants, or solving incredibly complicated puzzles. Whether at work, at home, or on an adventure, Wanda loved life, loved her family, and loved her friends. She touched many lives and will be missed deeply by all who knew her.   Wanda is preceded in death by her father and her mother, and is survived by her husband, Nelson Howell, her son, James Howell, her sisters, Patsy McCamey and Betty Hoevenaar, and her nephew, Jeremy Hoevenaar. Wanda's family would like to extend special thanks to the nurses, aides, staff, and volunteers at Hospice of Cincinnati. They embraced Wanda with compassion and dignity, and allowed her to spend her final weeks surrounded by warmth and love.
