GILLILAND, ISABELLE JUNE Isabelle June Stockdill Gilliland died January 12, 2015 in Albuquerque. Isabelle was born in Bellflower, CA in 1922 to the late LJ and June Maldonado Stockdill (Venn). She grew up in Albuquerque and Wagon Mound, graduating from Albuquerque High School in 1940. In her teens, she held a number of jobs in the city, the first working for the Giomi Brothers, but seemed to find a home at KGGM radio. During World War II, her clerical job there launched her onto the airwaves, where her strong voice and quick sense of humor made her a success among the daytime audience. Later in the war, she moved to California and found a job at CBS Radio in Hollywood. Still later, she moved to Juneau, AK, to work for the US Treasury Department. Returning to Albuquerque before War's end, she was employed at Sandia Base for several years. It was there, in 1950, that she met Paul Gilliland. They married on St. Patrick's Day, 1951. In 1953, the Gillilands left Albuquerque for Norway, beginning an odyssey of military duty stations that would last seventeen years, and take them from Europe back to California and from end to end of the continental United States. Finally, in 1970, the family returned to Isabelle's beloved hometown and her extended family. Once all of her seven children were in school, Isabelle went back to work for KGGM Television's traffic department, where she worked through the 1970s. After her retirement, Isabelle found time to travel and to indulge her lifelong love for dancing. She was, for many years, a fixture at the Highland Senior Center, where she volunteered in many capacities. Isabelle was preceded in death by her husband, Paul E. Gilliland. She is survived by her brother, John L. Stockdill, of California; her seven children, Mark Gilliland, Terrance Gilliland and his wife, Lois, and Shawn Gilliland and his fiancee Felicia Dooley, all of Albuquerque; Patrick Gilliland, of California; Carmel Chapline and her husband, Michael, Mary Erin Grosso and her husband, Michael, and Mary Celeste Bradley and her husband, Charles, all of San Antonio, Texas; and 16 grandchildren, Heather Gilliland, Leah Gallegos, Bryan and Conor Gilliland, Karen Alba, Andrew and Michael Chapline, Mikaela, Ryan, and Noelle Grosso, Matthew, Adam, Jacob, Jeffrey, Steven and Clayton Bradley, and three great-grandchildren.

RADIGAN, ROBERTA JEANNE Roberta Jeanne Radigan has left to be with the Lord on January 9, 2015. She was the daughter of Floyd and Pearl Rand. She grew up in Rising Sun, IN not far from Connersville, IN where she met her husband Charles Thomas Radigan who has also gone to be with the Lord. She was 88 years old and had been married to "Chuck" for 69 of those years. There were four children. To hear Mom tell it, she loved each of them equally. But if you talked to the kids they were sure they were the favorite depending on the one with whom you were talking. There was Mike and his lovely wife Celine. Second came Steve and his wife Linda. Third was Tom (that made three boys) and his wife Sandy. And finally there was Kerry (the lone girl Mom always wanted) and her husband Dennis. Among these there are 11 grandchildren 12 great- grandchildren. Many of them were able to be with Mom and spend time talking and laughing together before the Lord called her home. Mom also had a brother, Charles Rand who lived in Rising Sun. Mom and Dad moved from Indiana to Albuquerque, NM in 1956 and decided to stay. This is where they raised their kids. Mom provided one of those homes that looked a lot like the household of Mayberry with Andy Griffith. The house was always spotless, cookies in the canister, meals every night, good friends, lots of time with her family and a good swat on the rump when it was needed. She was spunky. No doubt about that. And we are all reminded that the same "fire" Mom brought to bear on us at times could just as easily be turned in our favor to defend us or encourage us. Mom was wonderful. We will miss our mom. But we are grateful to the Lord that He has taken her home to be with Dad. Just as one day we are all looking forward to being together again. Thank you, Mom, for who you were and for being the mother we needed. We love you. We will remember Mom on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. at FRENCH - Wyoming. Please visit our online guestbook for Roberta at www.FrenchFunerals.com FRENCH - Wyoming 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE (505) 823-9400
