Lottie Cline
MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Lottie Cline passed away in a car accident on Thursday, June 7, 2018, in Middletown.
Lottie had recently retired from teaching at the Middletown Seventh-day Adventist School where she had taught for over 15 years, although she continued to volunteer there afterwards.
Lottie was born in Pakistan to missionary parents, growing up in Pakistan and India. She came to the States as a teenager, became a nurse, and then quickly decided it wasn’t for her and went back to school to become a teacher.
She taught in Christian education for almost 30 years, dedicating herself to helping each student reach their academics best, teaching them about God and caring for them and their families.
Everyone who knew her felt she was their friend. She always looked for ways to help and support others, often giving them a place to stay when they were in hard times, and always inviting them over for a home cooked meal or some table games.
Lottie loved gardening, and could often be seen in the mornings tending to her flowers. Lottie loved music, she played the guitar, viola and was a wonderful pianist.
She is survived by her husband and children and will be greatly missed by all.
Her memorial service will be held Saturday, June 23, at 5 p.m. at the Middletown Seventh-day Adventist Church, 21640 S. Highway 29.

Denise received a BA degree from University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s from Humboldt State University. She worked at the American Indian Contemporary Arts Gallery and the Foundation for Deep Ecology. She served as an education director for Sacramento Indian Education Center, Robinson Rancheria and at Hopland Rancheria. She believed in the importance of educating our people and knowing your Indian history and culture.
As an activist, along with her late sister Luwana, she was among the first group that occupied Alcatraz Island in 1969. In 1996, she joined the “Longest Walk-Free Leonard Peltier” and walked from California to Washington, DC. During that time on her travels to New York, she was invited to read the poetry of Jack Kerouac at an annual festival.
She had many interests and reading was one of her favorite things to do. Denise loved her family and her culture. She worked with her daughter on regalia making for dancers. She showed her love through beading, weaving, sewing, gardening, picking fruit and home canning to the delight of her family and friends.
We will miss her sense of humor, her intelligence, and her way of putting others first.
