Paul Bianchi

On March 17, 2024, Paul Bianchi passed peacefully at the age of 81. As a third-generation Italian dairyman, he tended to the family farm in Valley Ford for 70+ years. He enjoyed the simple life of farming & managing the jersey herd. It’s on the farm that he taught his children the respect of hard work, the importance of supporting neighbors & perpetuating family farming in Sonoma County.

He is survived by his wife, Shirley, daughters Karen Bianchi-Moreda (Kenny), late Jolene Borders (Bruce) & Shelly Bianchi-Williamson (Rick) and son, Stephen Bianchi (Deb), stepdaughters Tina Deason (Brian) & Tami Bender (Jim), & stepson, Tim Riddle (Tami), brother of George Bianchi (Susan) & Virginia Tollini (late Earnie). Also survived by numerous grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins & a great-granddaughter.

Please join the family on Friday, April 5, 2024, at 11 am, for a Funeral Mass at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Petaluma, Ca. Following the service, a gathering will be held in his honor at Spring Hill Estates ~ 3871 Tomales Petaluma Rd, Tomales, Ca 94971.
