Oline Elvera Pinoli

Oline Elvera Pinoli, age 82 of Philo, CA passed away peacefully at Green Acres Manor in Kenwood CA after a long struggle with memory loss.

Born in 1940, Oline grew up in a family of apple ranchers in pastoral Anderson Valley and graduated high school in 1958. She moved to Santa Rosa to attend secretarial school and met Giovanni Sbragia, whom she was married to from 1961-1981.

Oline helped run Lee’s Meat Service with her husband, and later owned and operated Plaza Cleaners in Rohnert Park. In the 1990’s, she graduated from Empire business school and worked in the health care industry. In 2007, Oline became a Direct Care Volunteer for Memorial Hospice in Sonoma County.

She loved to read books, and always had a smile with a sunny disposition. Oline would sometimes surprise party guests with her ability to play the accordion.

She is survived by her son Stephen (Mallorca) Sbragia, daughter Jennifer (Jesse), Sbragia Pearce, Grandchildren Shawn (Samantha) Sbragia, Aleshia (Jason) Sbragia-Freyer, Huxley Pearce, Lita Pearce, Great Grandchild Charlie Sue Freyer, and brother Wayne J. Pinoli. She was preceded in death by her late sibling Dorothy Pinoli Ramirez and beloved son Anthony (Tony) Sbragia.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
