Walt loved telling jokes and stories, playing the harmonica, playing golf, fishing and helping people. He took care of his wife, Anne, for 12 years during her struggle with dementia. He loved her tenderly and cared for her every need until her death on November 21, 2001.

He is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Donna and Robert Ebert and Sharon and Gary Markley; son Brian Sertic; grandchildren Christine Geier, Suzanne Gibson, Steven Markley, Teri Shen, Mark Ebert, Jennifer Sertic, Kathryn Warner; five great-grandchildren; and niece and nephews Karen Wallace, Lou Webb and George Sertic.

At age 83, Walt accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A celebration of Walt's life will be held in Ojai, California, July 30.

Anne Sertic

Anne Catherine Darst Sertic, 77, died November 21, 2001, of complications due to dementia.

She was born June 20, 1924, in St. Louis, Missouri. Anne married Walter Sertic in 1943. They were married 58 years.

Anne graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart High School in Pasadena in 1942, and attended San Fernando Valley State College.

She loved to cook and entertain friends. In 1967, she won a sweepstake prize in a recipe contest, a 12 day vacation for two to Hawaii.

She was an avid reader, loved playing bridge, writing stories and discussing world events. She loved flowers, sea shells, interesting rocks and the ocean. She was a friend to all, kept every shared secret and looked for good in every person.

Anne is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Donna and Robert Ebert and Sharon and Gary Markley; son Brian Sertic; brother and sister-in-law Larry and Betty Darst; cousin Jill Pack; grandchildren Christine Geier, Suzanne Gibson, Steven Markley, Teri Shen, Mark Ebert, Jennifer Sertic and Kathryn Warner; and five great-grandchildren.

She has been gone from us three years and we still miss everything about her; her smile, her joy, her kindness and her love.
