By Mary Bowers

KATHLEEN DONOVAN SHERIDAN, PART 1

Kathleen Donovan Sheridan was born to Joe and Ila Donovan in San Francisco on December 15th 1940. Her

mother, Ila, had come to San Francisco during the depression when her parents, farmers in central Illinois, could

no longer afford to send her to college. She lived with her aunt and uncle while attending San Francisco City

College and Berkeley. Soon she met Joe through a friend of her uncle, they married and Kathleen was the first

of their three children. Kathleen only lived in San Francisco until she was a little over 2 years old but still has

memories of it….her earliest memory is of going to St. Paul’s Church in the mission district of San Francisco

(the church where Sister Act was later filmed) with her immigrant Irish Catholic grandfather, her father’s father.

While WWII raged on and Joe had still not been drafted, Kathleen’s baby sister was born, the family bought a

house and moved to Marin. While Joe was not in the war, most every other man in the family was: including

Joe’s brother who was a medic in the south pacific, Ila’s uncle who was in a concentration camp in the Philip-

pines and her only brother who was on the Russian front. In 1944, Joe was drafted….”the last man drafted in the

war” or so it seemed. He was stationed in San Diego and Ila couldn’t bear being so far away so she rented out

their home and moved with the kids into a trailer park with “a vast amount of trailers” in National City, CA near

the base. Kathleen’s overriding memory of this time is the smell of kerosene...it was everywhere!

After the war, Secretary of Agriculture Benson under Truman wanted to get the farmers up and moving and said

the government would help anyone who wanted to farm. So Ila’s parents came out to California, got Ila and the

two kids and took them back to the farm in Illinois where Joe joined them after his official discharge. The farm

was in a very rural part of central Illinois..50 miles from Peoria where one went to buy supplies. They farmed

soy, alfalfa, wheat, raised pigs, chickens and had huge gardens. Four year old Kathleen loved it and began a life-

long love affair with gardening and work in general. While Kathleen loved it, it soon became pretty clear that

Joe was not a farmer. Ila’s cousin had a foundry in Chicago and had invented a hydraulic lift that needed mar-

keting. Joe became a salesman for him and the family moved to Chicago. Kathleen was now 7 years old and

had spent the past three years in a K-8 one room schoolhouse with about 13 students. She was tested and placed

in the third grade at St. Etheldreda's, a large school with 56 children in just her classroom. Completely over-

whelming. Culture shock, too many kids and, by her own words, she was “socially ridiculous” because of the

age and experience differences. A very kind nun named Sister Leonard saw what was going on, took her under

her wing, and helped her out. Things got better and after a year or so, Joe partnered with a friend of Ila’s from

high school and bought an Oldsmobile/International Harvester Dealership in Schuyler County which was just

about 25 miles away from the farm and grandparents she loved so much. Ila thought this was a good time to

hold Kathleen back a grade so she could be in classes with her peers and that turned out to be a good idea. Al-

ways fond of learning, Kathleen loved school. Two of her favorite subjects, history and art, and her propensity

for active work came together when she painted a mural of mound builders in her parents basement. She had

been helping a friend of her father’s excavate burial mounds of Native Americans on his property and became

enamored of the people and their artifacts. (She has books about this if you want to look at them...very cool.)

She also painted a mural about water skiing in her and her sister’s bedroom. She was a water skier and a life-

guard and a field worker (other people were aghast that she was allowed to do this work since it was usually just

for adults but her father thought work was good for everyone) and a 4-H club member and took after school art

Upon graduation from high school, Ila decided that Kathleen should go to Bradley College. This isn’t where

Kathleen wanted to go so she asked if she could choose her own school after attending Bradley for two years and

Ila agreed. Turns out, this was another good idea from Ila ‘because Bradley is not only a very good school but it’s

also where Kathleen met Peter Sheridan. Then Ila told Kathleen that when she came home for summers, she

should take some classes at the local college, Western University, so she could get a teaching credential and al-

ways have something to fall back on. Good school idea number 3, as we’ll see. After two years at Bradley, Kath-

leen applied for and received admittance to The Art Institute of Chicago...on a full ride scholarship. Peter came to

Chicago to be with her, marrying in 1961 and staying there until he was called up for service during the time of

the Bay of Pigs and moved to Peoria, near the military base. Kathleen, now pregnant, finished up her year and

then went to join him where she obtained a temporary teaching credential (which she could do because of good

idea #3) and taught 3rd grade as well as 7th/8th grade art. Soon the family went to Texas (“not a fit”) for Peter’s

pilot training which he “fortunately washed out of” otherwise they would’ve “gotten stuck with Vietnam.” The

army said they would move them wherever they wanted to go within a certain number of miles so they picked up

and moved to Sausalito, CA.

Peter entered a management training program with Emporium and Kathleen again used her teaching qualifications

and started substitute teaching. Her mother was a teacher in a one room schoolhouse in Pt. Reyes and when she

needed a day to run errands, she’d take Kathleen’s kids and Kathleen would go teach her class as well as other

classes around the county. When Kathleen’s sister got married and moved to Sweden, she and her mother decided

they wanted to take the kids and go visit. This meant Kathleen needed to make more money so when her first

cousin, Helen, suggested that she call Leishman at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco go get a job as a

nurse’s aide, she did it even though she’d never done anything like that before. As it turned out, she loved it! And

this is where she learned that it is possible to have “good care with a heart in a public institution.” A lesson that

informed her work life of over 30 years and continues to inform her volunteer efforts in retirement. (Have you

read God’s Hotel? It’s a great book about Laguna Honda.) When she’d saved up enough money for the trip, away

they went….sans Peter….he had to stay home and work….but don’t worry, he’ll catch up later.

It was a six month long odyssey that took them across country in a Ford Econoline van with stops in Illinois to see

her grandparents, in New Jersey to see Peter’s parents and then they sailed to Lisbon. There were now three kids

ages 8, 7 and 5 years who continued with their school work while travelling with these two school teachers and

were actually the reason they decided to land in Lisbon. People had told them that they were kind to children in

Lisbon. From there they drove the coast of Spain where they were joined by her sister and her almost one year old

child, then headed to Morocco but quickly left when their guide told them someone might steal the blond child!

Driving all over Spain, France, Germany, and Denmark, they got the sister and her child home in time for the one

year old’s birthday. Leaving her youngest with her sister, Kathleen took the older two kids, met Peter and cousin

Helen in London and went to visit the Irish relatives in the south of Ireland. En route back to Sweden, they drove

through the Swiss Alps, into Italy and sailed home from Genoa. It was an amazing trip and Kathleen relates it as

if it were yesterday….clearly one of her many favorite times.

In the meantime, she’d decided she wanted to go to nursing school. They wanted her to apply and wait which she

thought was ludicrous so she just kept pestering them until they let her in. Finishing up in a couple of years, she

went to work in 1972 at a job she just adored. It was at the French Hospital in San Francisco, a gift to the city

which worked like a health plan. Wikipedia says that it was California’s first HMO and Kathleen says that the

rumor was it had the best chef in the City at that time! She later left to take a position at Terra Linda Kaiser, clos-

er to home and by now, Peter wasn’t wild about his job. Kathleen’s parents had bought a resort in Guerneville and

the one in front of them came up for sale….so even though they’d never run a resort before, why not?? Next stop

Sunnyside Inn, Guerneville!

Guerneville Aging Together with Pride for LGBT Seniors Starts April 9

Jan. 11, 2016-- To support LGBT seniors’ optimal aging, the Sonoma County Human Services Department Adult

and Aging Division is hosting an eight-week group, Aging Together With Pride, on Saturdays, April 9-May 28,

1-3 p.m., at the Russian River Senior Resource Center, 15010 Armstrong Woods Road, Guerneville.

Many lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender seniors don’t seek needed social services, benefits and health care,

such as money for food, low-cost housing or in-home care, because they are reluctant to talk openly about their

sexual orientation or gender identity with caregivers and service providers. During their lifetimes, many suffered

the loss of family, friends, jobs and housing because of bias.

Each session allows LGBT older adults to share thoughts and experiences in a safe environment, while develop-

ing strategies for accessing local resources and services comfortably.

Register at (707) 227-6935. A $20 fee for the ser ies is requested, and scholarships are available.

The series is facilitated by Gary “Buz” Hermes, M.A., co-facilitator of the Sonoma Valley LGBT Seniors Group.

Hermes’ background includes senior outreach work with the Spectrum Center for LGBT Concerns, support groups

and workshops for LGBT caregivers, positive aging workshops, and service coordination for low-income seniors.

The Guerneville series is the third of several groups to be offered during the one-year program, Reaching Lesbian,

Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Seniors in Sonoma County, which is sponsored by a grant from the Sonoma

County LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex) Giving Circle of the Community

Foundation Sonoma County (www.sonomacf.org), and funds from the Human Services Department Adult and Ag-

ing Division.
