SHERWIN
Jeannette Sherwin
Jeannette Sherwin, 55, a community activist dedicated to making the East Bay a better place to live, died suddenly of a heart attack on Jan. 18, 2004.
She published Oakland News at her website (www.oaklandnews.com) from her home in North Oakland and was lauded for her dedication, acerbic touch, clever writing and lively sense of humor.
"Jeannette was one of the truly remarkable citizen activists of the Bay Area, " said Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club and longtime friend.
The Oakland City Council adjourned in her honor last week.
She was born on Dec. 11, 1948, in Evanston, Ill., and moved to California in 1974. She was predeceased by her parents, Francis James Sherwin and Barbara Redfield Sherwin of Glencoe, Ill. Jeannette was the oldest of four children.
She was raised in suburban Chicago and attended high school at Box Hill School in Surrey, England, with her siblings. The boarding school, unusual in its day for being co-ed, emphasized responsibility and independence, two qualities that Jeannette developed. She later graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Mass.
Sherwin loved to poke fun at city officials in her work, but also could be very serious. In a 1996 letter to the S.F. Chronicle, she recounted the death of her mentally ill and homeless younger brother, Forrest Sherwin, and described how to address the problem of homelessness.
She is survived by her sister, Elisabeth Sherwin of Davis, and her brother, Frank Sherwin of El Cajon.
