ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION--Memorializing the late Jeanne 
       Demuth Dini.


  WHEREAS, The members of the Nevada Legislature 
note with profound sorrow the passing of Jeanne Demuth Dini, 
on June 27, 1994; and
  WHEREAS, The untimely death of Jeanne Dini 
has been felt by all who knew her personally or through her 
many altruistic endeavors and civic activities; and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Demuth was born on December 
22, 1929, in Minnesota and moved to Nevada as a young woman; 
and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Demuth attended the University 
of Nevada in Reno, where she studied nursing and met and 
married her husband Joseph E. Dini, Jr., in 1949; and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Dini was a loving wife to Joe, 
a loving mother to their four sons, Jay, George, David and 
Mike, a loving grandmother to twelve grandchildren and one 
great-grandchild and a true friend to those who knew her; 
and
  WHEREAS, Despite Jeanne Dini's genuine caring 
nature, she was never characterized as being indecisive or 
weak-kneed, as evidenced by her sons' affectionate 
references to her as "The Warden"; and
  WHEREAS, During her lifetime, Jeanne Dini 
rendered tremendous service to the residents of Nevada 
through her long-time contributions as a member of the 
Personnel Commission of the State of Nevada and her 
extensive efforts to support rural mental health clinics, 
rural historic preservation and many other social issues; 
and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Dini's life was woven firmly 
into the very fabric of Yerington, Mason Valley and Lyon 
County in countless ways, from her work in the family 
business to her tireless efforts to preserve Yerington's 
hospital (the South Lyon Medical Center) and from her 
service as chair of the ongoing drive to restore Yerington's 
historic Grammar School #9 to her extensive service on the 
local planning commission; and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Dini built an enviable record 
of service with numerous civic, religious and fraternal 
organizations, including the Order of Eastern Star for which 
she served as Grand Martha, Soroptimist International, the 
Democratic Women's Club, Beta Sigma Phi, Holy Family 
Catholic Church and the Italian Catholic Federation; and
  WHEREAS, At the foundation of Jeanne Dini's 
extensive community involvement rested her deep concern for 
and commitment to people, most especially children and 
those less fortunate, for whom she was a fierce champion; 
and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Dini's life of service to 
others illustrated the words of wisdom found in an ancient 
church which say, "The more you give, the more you get; the 
more you do unselfishly, the more you live abundantly; for 
only what we give away, enriches us from day to day"; and
  WHEREAS, Jeanne Dini deeply respected the 
legislative process and was the constant companion and chief 
supporter of her husband, long-time Speaker Joe Dini, at the 
Nevada State Legislature, prompting Yerington's Mason Valley 
News upon her passing to remember her in an editorial 
entitled, "\Godspeed Madam Speaker"\\; now, 
therefore, be it
  RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, 
THE SENATE CONCURRING, That the members of the Nevada 
Legislature extend their heartfelt condolences to the family 
of Jeanne Dini; and be it further
  RESOLVED, That in Jeanne Dini, Nevada has lost 
a wonderful woman and gracious lady whose hard work left 
numerous visible reminders of her efforts to make Nevada a 
better place, and whose belief in people left an indelible 
mark on the thousands of Nevadans' lives which she touched; 
and be it further
  RESOLVED, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly 
prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to each of 
Jeanne's sons, Jay, George, David and Mike, and to her 
loving husband, Joe.
