GWYNNE D. SEARLS
Gwynne Davis Searls, mother of Phoebe S. True of Ross, died in San Francisco Monday.
A native of Carson City, Nev., Mrs. Searls was married to the late Fred Searls Jr., an international mining executive.
She was a descendant of a pioneer western family.
Before moving to the Bay Area, she lived in Nevada City, Nevada County, and New York where her husband headed Newmont Mining Corp. until shortly before his death at 80 in 1968.
In addition to her daughter, Phoebe, Mrs. Searls is survived by two other daughters, Helen S. DeGroot of Chicago and Joyce S. Adams of Riverside, Conn. And two sons, Fred Searls of Hillsborough and Robert Searls of Melbourne, Australia.
There will be no funeral.
The family prefers memorial contributions to the Little Company of Mary at Villa de San Girolamo in Frisole, Italy.
