In memory
Marianne Cameron Angelillo
Marianne Angelillo, one of Right to Life's beloved foundational supporters, passed away on
January 29, 2025. She was a pillar of the organization, a treasured friend, and a steady
presence through seasons of growth and challenge.
A registered nurse for more than 20 years, Marianne carried the instincts of a caregiver into
every room. She was known for joy, energy, warmth, and a gift for making people feel heard.
Marianne served Right to Life as a donor, volunteer, board member, interim executive director,
and Christmas Dinner and Auction chair. Her work continued a family legacy begun by the
Camerons, the DeMeras, and other founding families who helped establish this cause in the Valley.
In lieu of flowers, her family asked that donations be made to Right to Life of Central
California, Catholic Charities, and San Joaquin Memorial High School.
Donate in Marianne's memory Their service still shapes the mission.
These stories remember supporters who built lasting paths for advocacy, education, fundraising,
hospitality, and practical care throughout the Central Valley.
Chuck and Jo Ann Stephens
Chuck and Jo Ann Stephens helped shape Right to Life of Central California through decades of faithful service. In the 1980s and 1990s, they helped grow the Christmas Dinner and Auction into a cornerstone event for the organization.
Their family-centered volunteer spirit continued through the Golf for Life Tournament, launched by Chuck more than 25 years ago. Their work also deepened local pro-life education through Natural Family Planning classes, counseling, and relationships with medical professionals across the Valley.

Debby Bone
Debby Bone was a beloved former board member, employee, and supporter of Right to Life. She founded The 300 with a simple conviction: many people giving faithfully, even in modest amounts, can sustain life-saving work.
Her vision still invites ordinary supporters into a shared mission of engaging, equipping, and embracing the community so babies, mothers, fathers, and families are not left alone.

Betsy Lucido
Bill Lucido met Betsy Tripp in 1961 at the University of San Diego. They married in 1964, built a family of four daughters, three sons-in-law, and nine grandchildren, and became deeply rooted at Saint Paul Catholic Newman Center.
The Lucido family opened their home to 28 expectant mothers through Infant of Prague Adoption agency, offering safety, warmth, guidance, and friendship. Right to Life honors Deacon Bill and Betsy Lucido for a lifetime of generous, selfless service.
Support the mission Plan your legacy
Leave a legacy of your own.
The people honored here didn't set out to be remembered. They simply gave what they
had, faithfully, for as long as they could, and the work still stands because of it.
You can do the same. A gift in your will or estate plan, of any size, helps make sure
this mission endures for the next generation, just as it has for the last fifty years.
There's nothing to decide tonight. If a legacy gift is something you're considering,
we would be honored to talk it through. No pressure, and at your pace.
Continue the legacy of support.
Every gift helps keep compassionate outreach, education, healing resources, and practical care
available to mothers, families, students, and volunteers across the Valley.
