By Bob DeLoyd 05/12/2007 Our little Community is sad to learn that Harry Preciado has passed away. Harry lived in our area for many years with his wife Zoila. Going to bingo, watching boxing at Lee and Marcie Hines home, and you could always catch them at potluck sitting at the north-west end of the table. Zoila passed on in 2004 and Harry went away to live with his son Joe. Harry was a kind and quite soul until he had a few beers, then he would brighten up and tell us all about this fishing trip to Ensenada that he and Zoila went on, and other adventures, always asking Zoila for confirmation on key points and she would most always agree. We will all miss them both! Here is an email from Harry's Son, Joe: “Thank you for your prompt reply and for passing the word regarding his passing. He was able to enjoy his grandchildren while living with us and was also a proud Great-Grandfather to a now 14 week baby girl. He made a considerable turn around health wise and was constantly walking around our block with the use of his walker. He was in much better health since he came to live with us. His three short years with us were spent to the fullest. Joe Preciado” By Bob DeLoyd 09/25/2004         Our little Community is sad to hear that a good friend and longtime resident Zoila Preciado had passed on at 3:25 P.M. Tuesday. We will miss Zoila’s smile at Bingo. At Potluck we will miss her happy cheer. We will miss you dear, dear Zoila now that you’re not here. Zoila Preciado, 76, she was born February 5, 1928 in Palo Verde, Arizona.         Zoila resided in Fontana, CA prior to moving to Joshua Tree, CA in 1987. In here early years she loved to go camping, boating, fishing, and traveling as much as possible with her husband. In Fontana she was a member of the local Moose Lodge. After moving to Joshua Tree she was member of the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary, VFW Women’s Auxiliary as a lifetime member. She had a passion for playing BINGO with her friends and making new friends in the local community.         She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother (Nana) and dog lover. She loved going shopping with her granddaughters when visiting in Yuma, AZ. Our Nana will be greatly missed by all of us and her close friends Lee & Mercy Hines that were there when she needed a helping hand.         She is survived by her husband Harry Preciado; son Joe (Loli) Preciado; granddaughters Marlene (Robert Gleim), Melissa Preciado and grandson Joe (JoJo) Preciado, all of Yuma, Az; sisters Selma Ramirez (Louis), Queta Urias and brother Johnny Urias of Los Angeles, CA. and many cousins from Yuma, AZ.
