LOCAL GROUPS CONTINUE 
THEIR PROTEST AGAINST TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION ACTIONS

On August 2nd, from 10 - 2, Indivisible 
group, Rooted in Resistance, 
gathered in Kersting 
Court in Sierra Madre once again, 
peacefully, to rise together and 
show their outrage over the inhumanity 
and unconstitutional actions 
of the current authoritarian 
administration. 

The non-violent group brought 
visuals which articulated their 
concerns. They also collected 
non-perishable food items for 
people unable to go to the market 
for fear of being swept up by ICE.

Determined to maintain dignity 
and order in their gathering, participants 
were encouraged to be 
mindful not to disrupt pathways 
to businesses or impair pedestrians 
ability to walk on Sierra Madre 
Blvd and/or Baldwin Avenue. 
Their moto: Together, we DO make a difference!

SIERRA MADRE LOSES 
LONGTIME RESIDENT 

JILL WAGNER

Jill Hisey Wagner, a Sierra Madre resident for more 
than 70 years, passed away Aug. 3 at the British 
Home retirement community in Sierra Madre. She 
was 91.

Jill was active with her husband, Howard, in the annual 
Sierra Madre Arts Festival for many years and 
was active in fund-raising campaigns for the Sierra 
Madre Public Library when Howard was a member 
of the library’s Board of Trustees.

Jill was born to Jack Edward Zimmerman and Emily 
Elizabeth Delancey on Feb. 4, 1934 in Alameda, 
Calif. Her father abandoned the family when she was 
about 3 years old. While her mother worked as a secretary, 
her grandparents, John and Emily Delancey, 
helped raise her.

Her mother met and married Jean Hisey in 1938, 
and the family soon moved to Pasadena. Jill attended 
public schools and graduated from Pasadena City 
College. She worked briefly in a department store 
before she met Howard Wagner. They married in 
1953 and Jill became a homemaker.

Howard passed away in 2006, and a brother, Jack 
Hisey, died in 2017. She is survived by a sister, Judith 
Hisey Cutler, of Apple Valley.

She is also survived by one son and two daughters, 
Rob Wagner of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Susannah 
Tomlin of Pasadena; and Lisa Reed, also of Pasadena. 
Daughter-in-law Sabria Jawhar and son-in-law 
Brad Tomlin also survive her.

In addition, she is survived by nine grandchildren: 
Nicholas Wagner of Hollywood and Selena Moffett 
and Danielle Small both of Lodi; Emily and Jude 
Wagner, of Riyadh; Ian Tomlin (Rayna Snow White-
Tomlin) of Pasadena, Cory Macy of Norco, Alexander 
Reed (Katelyn Reed) of Valencia, and Christopher 
Reed of Kentucky. 

Surviving great-grandchildren are Kayden and Hud-
son Siegmund of Lodi; and Ray, Ryan, Frederick and 
Cecilia Small of Modesto.

There will be no services. Burial of her cremated remains 
will be at the Episcopal Church of Ascension, 
Sierra Madre.
