Mignon Boreham Obituary
Mignon Wilson Boreham 1924-2011 passed away October 20, 2011. She had been in declining health for many months and was hospitalized at Marian Medical Center for several weeks, and a brief stay at Country Oaks Care Center.
Mignon was born in Dunsmuir, California and raised in Westwood, California (West L.A.). While living in Arcadia, California in 1974, she met her new neighbor, Bob Kelsey, and a romance was born.
In November of 1986 they moved to Hancock Village in Santa Maria and lived there until September of 2009. Then it was time to move-Santa Maria Terrace was the choice. A great place it was- so much happiness and friends.
Besides her caring and devoted companion Bob, she left behind five children; Andrea Yanulaytis, Anaheim, California, Pete Boreham and wife Fran, Atascadero, California, Rod Boreham, Valencia, California, Bruce Boreham, Venice, Italy, Bonnie Reed, Claremont, California, also six grandchildren.
Cremation will take place November 10 by the Neptune Society and her remains will be scattered at sea.
