Fred W Iten
July 27, 1921 – February 25, 2010
Our beloved father and grandfather passed away peacefully with family at his side on Thursday morning in Vacaville at the age of 88.
Born in Daly City to Swiss immigrant parents, he learned about hard work at an early age selling newspapers on a street corner in Oakland when he was in the second grade.
He graduated from Fort Jones High School, and a year later enrolled in
Humboldt State College. At mid‐point in his college years he enlisted in the Navy, attending St. Mary’ pre‐fight and flew corsairs off the USS Essex. He was a star running back at St. Mary’ Pre‐fight and at Humboldt State University. He was inducted into the HSU Athletic Hall Of Fame in 1985.
His 36‐year career as a teacher, counselor and coach (football, track &
basketball) began at Tulelake High School, continued at Ferndale High School and concluded with 28 years at Ukiah High.
Janice Bruner Iten, his wife of 50 years, preceded him in death. He is
survived by: his children Marian Chmieleski and Barbara Iten of Vacaville, John Iten of Dixon and Terry Iten of Jamestown, North Dakota; his sons‐and‐daughter‐in‐law Bruce Chmieleski, John Kildahl and Becky Iten; his grandchildren Kate Russum DeHoff, Jenny Chmieleski, Annie Chmieleski, John Iten II, Branson Iten, Joey Iten, Kyle Holden, Richelle Peppers, Liz Heres, Whitney Olmedo, Alison Kuffel and 6 great‐grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Eversole Mortuary on Low
Gap Road in Ukiah at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
