Dorothy June Buckley, 78, of Clearlake, Calif., went home to the Lord on May 21, 2013, after a brief illness.

She was born to Dee and Russel Gibbons on July 10, 1934, in Fort El Reno, Okla.

Being an Army brat, she and her parents were stationed at Army bases all over the United States before settling in Soledad, Calif., where she graduated from Gonzales High School.

She became a PBX operator and made many friends as her career led her through Central and Southern California, before settling in Northern California.

In 1971, she married the love of her life, Dr. Robert Buckley, in Rough and Ready, Calif. She took on the job of being Dr. Bob’s office manager until his retirement.

In 2002, they moved to Clearlake, Calif. She lost Robert in 2006.

She is survived by her son Ted and wife Barbara Balin. She also is missed by her longtime friends, Pat Lee of Sebastopol, Calif.; Bob and Pat Miller of Redding, Calif.; Shirley Ryan of Palm Springs, Calif.; and and her many new friends in Lake County.

She was a very warm and friendly person, and a wonderful cook, and she will be greatly missed.
