Susan M. (Hamachek) Cannon, age 70 of Santa Rosa, CA, formerly of Kewaunee passed away on June 26, 2019 in Santa Rosa.  She was born on July 7, 1948 on Escanaba, MI and spent her early years in Gladstone, MI.  At the age of 7, her mother became the Public Health RN for Kewaunee County and they moved to Kewaunee, WI, a beautiful little town on Lake Michigan.

She attended Holy Rosary Elementary School, graduated from Kewaunee High School in 1966
and entered into a diploma program at Milwaukee County Hospital, graduating as a Registered
Nurse in 1969. By 1970, she had joined the Navy, enduring the Great Lakes Boot Camp, a stint
in Long Beach and serving most of her time in the Aleutian Islands (ADAK). Again, she endured
—through near plane crashes, capsized boats, red alerts, volcanic eruptions and near tsunamis
on a desolate island with many challenges, held together by a close community and sheer will
power. She had the best nursing instincts, fostered early on by her mother and reinforced by
emergency decision making and no time to waste. Ultimately, achieving the rank of Lieutenant,
she also served in the Reserve Corps.

In 1978, she moved to Santa Rosa, working at Community Hospital. Enrolling at Sonoma State
University, she received her BSN and shortly thereafter began teaching at Santa Rosa Junior
College, mentoring seemed to be her natural calling. She had loved the Navy and teaching
corpsmen; it was a perfect fit. SRJC took it’s place. An unabashed workaholic, she
simultaneously held positions in Urgent Care at Kaiser Permanente and SRJC until her
retirement.

Susan was an incredible advocate for her patients and friends alike, and possessed an
unparalleled generosity of spirit. She was truly blessed to have spent her life surrounded by
the students, colleagues and friends that she cherished in a career that she loved.

She is survived by her sister, Ann Hamachek and many treasured relatives and friends.  She was preceded in death by her mother: Joan C. Hamachek and her brother: David Hamachek.

Please join us for a Visitation and Rosary at 10 am on Tuesday, July 30th, followed by a funeral
Mass at 11 am at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kewaunee. Burial with full military will be in the parish cemetery

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the SRJC Foundation in Memory of Susan
Cannon, RN to support a nursing scholarship named in her honor: 1501 Mendocino Avenue

James Martin Rock, 83, longtime resident of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ephraim, Wisconsin, died on June 25, 2019, in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.

    He was born August 17, 1935, in Plymouth, Wisconsin, to the late Carroll George and Lillian Augusta Wilhelmina (Leverenz) Rock and grew up on their dairy farm with his older brother, Carroll.

    From his start in a one room schoolhouse, Jim went on to earn an undergraduate degree in Geography and a Masters in Rural Sociology from the University of Wisconsin and his doctorate in Economics at Northwestern University.

    His reasons for transferring to Northwestern for his PhD weren’t entirely academic, as he had begun pursuing his future wife, Bonnie Brown, who studied there. Their long and romantic union—they wed in 1962—was a great example to their children and grandchildren. It could be said that his love for Bonnie was his most salient characteristic.

    Jim worked in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and for the C.I.A. Before becoming a professor. He began teaching in the Economics Department at the University of Utah in 1967, where he served as chairman of the department for several years and won many teaching awards. His academic interests ranged from the aluminum cookware industry to Holstein cattle, and from the national debt to a lifelong enthusiasm for the work of John Maynard Keynes. His career was marked by devotion to his students, with special interest in and responsibility to those less fortunate. He helped set up the Alberta Henry Foundation’s scholarship fund for the disadvantaged and served as a board member and treasurer for the Salt Lake City NAACP.

    A devoted father, Jim, will be remembered for reading aloud, coaching soccer, and building many dangerous balance beams in the woods of Door County, Wisconsin, where he spent his summers, and where he moved year-round upon his retirement from teaching. He loved cows and radishes and was an enthusiast full of exclamations.

    His legacy will be carried on by his wife, Bonnie; their children, Jennifer (Fred) D’Amato of Shorewood, Wisconsin, Peter (Ella Vining) Rock, of Portland, Oregon , Jim Rock (fiancé, Pearl), of Salt Lake City, Utah, Sara (Pierre Le Blanc) Rock of Ottawa, Ontario; ten grandchildren, brother, Carroll Rock, Jr. of Stillwater, Minnesota; and many other relatives, friends, and former students.

    Jim’s life will be honored with a memorial service held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 10341 Water Street (State Highway 42), Ephraim, Wisconsin 54211. Burial will be in the Ephraim Moravian Cemetery.

    In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jim’s name to the Alberta Henry Foundation, PO Box 1814, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110.

    Casperson Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Sister Bay, Wisconsin assisted the Rock family with initial care. Expressions of sympathy, memories, and photos of James may be shared with his family through his tribute page at www.caspersonfuneralhome.com.
