    • Darleen (Dee) was a beautiful girl. Her second job in addition to nursing was modeling. That's where she met her husband Jon Nimmo, a freelance photographer who also did commercial photography. At age 27 in 1975, Dee and Jon were involved in a plane crash in Marin County, CA. It was a 4-passenger sea plane that didn't clear the top of some trees. The pilot and Dee's husband were killed. Dee was badly injured and broke most of the bones in her body. She was in Marin General Hospital for 6 months. The doctors said that she would never walk again if she even survived. A good friend, Ron Rima, came and took Dee away from the doctors and put her on a commercial fishing boat. It was hard rehab but she made an amazing recovery fishing on the ocean. You couldn't tell she was handicapped from watching her walk or work. Dee lived and worked another 27 years until the damage done to her body manifested into several autoimmune diseases. She died after doubling her expected lifespan. She and Ron managed a bed and breakfast called Sun Pass Ranch in Fort Klamath, Oregon. Near the ranch is a river that comes out of a mountain. Dee loved that spot and that's where her ashes are scattered.
