Pidd

It is with great sadness that the family of Dominica (Dolly) Pidd announces her passing. She
passed away May 30, 2021 in Hollister, CA at the age of 95.
The love of her life was her sweetheart Donald (Don) Pidd, who she met and married while he
was stationed at the Naval Air Station (Hollister Airport) during World War II. They shared 74
wonderful years together before Don's passing in 2019.
Dolly was born and raised in Hollister, the oldest daughter of Spanish immigrants, Angelo and
Frances Martin, from Mancero de Abajo, a small village near Salamanca, Spain. She was
preceded in death by her sisters Isabel, Josephine, Angelina, and her brother Peter.
After many years managing the gift department of Ladd Hardware, she worked as a teacher's
aide at Sunnyslope School and volunteered at Hazel Hawkins Hospital. During her retirement
years, she was an avid golfer and loved spending time with family and friends. Don and Dolly
also traveled many places around the world.
Dolly is survived by her children: Don (Deana) Pidd and Linda (Dave) King; granddaughters:
Kathleen Steffanic, Cindy Holms, Christi Maddalena and Stefanie (Michael) Granda; eight great
grandchildren: Austin, Patrick, Chance, Peter, Meg, Antonio, Janessa and Faith; and three greatgreat grandchildren: Kairi, Bryson and Colton.
The family would like to give special thanks to the wonderful, caring staff at Mabie Northside.
