Royce Northcott has joined her friends, family and pets on the next plane of love and consciousness. Born in Modesto California on November 23rd, 1935, she passed on April 28th, 2022 in Fort Pierce Florida, where she was on vacation. She suffered a severe injury while in Fort Pierce which eventually led to her passing.
Royce was a school teacher in Los Angeles where she put her husband, Dr. Eugene Northcott through UCLA medical school in the late 1950's. She was also a school teacher in Miami Florida in the 1960's, where she supported Dr Northcott through his medical residency. Dr. Northcott passed in the year 2000.
In the mid 1960's the Northcott family traveled from Florida to California twice while Dr. Northcott determined which location would be best for his career. Royce made sure both of her children were engaged and that the time in the car's backseat was used for learning and playing thought provoking games. The Northcotts then decided Stockton was the right place to live and for Gene to start his medical practice. They settled in Morada where Royce and Gene raised their two boys, Christian and Joseph.
Royce was one of the most vibrant, friendly and persuasive people you could ever meet and had more friends than you could shake a stick at. She was both a Viking and a princess at the same time. She was absolutely unstoppable when she held a conviction.
She had an intense fondness for children and made a point of introducing herself to families with children, asking the kids how they were doing or complimenting them for being cute. She took particular delight in telling young moms and dads how beautiful their children were. She relished the pride on the faces of the parents after her thoughtful remarks.
Royce loved gardening. She loved animals. Later in life she ended up with quite a few cats because she just couldn't turn away an animal in need.
Royce was very active in the San Joaquin Medical Society, and was on the board of directors of their scholarship loan fund starting in 1977. She greatly enjoyed interviewing young women and men who were applying for financial assistance so that they would be able to attend medical school and then return back home to practice in the communities where they grew up. When she left the board she was it's longest serving member.
Royce was active for many years in the Medical Society's Women's Auxiliary and aided greatly to their fund raising efforts.
She was a member of Children's Home of Stockton and supported it's commitment to give abused and disadvantaged kids a place to live and a chance for a better life. She embraced the goals and programs of Children's Home and was active for many years in their fund raising events. Through Children's Home she made many lifelong friendships. She relished their monthly bridge luncheons. Royce was also a member of another bridge group for many years which she thoroughly enjoyed. Royce loved bridge.
She was also President of the Irish Wolfhound Association of the West Coast for a period of time and bred and raised several champion Irish Wolfhounds.
She was a whiz kid in the stock market and took a modest initial investment to an impressive sum which allowed her to be generous to causes and charities in which she believed.
Royce cared immensely about other people and would give homeless people money on a regular basis, often making her son turn the car around to give someone in need some money.
Later in life she met a wonderful man, Clint Waring and they fell deeply in love and became life-long best friends who loved being with each other, playing games together, talking and living life to the fullest. They enjoyed annual trips together to Maui and Florida and spent the majority of their summers and fall having fun at Lake Tahoe. They made each other very, very happy.
Royce, with her love of children, became Clint's partner in the Salvation Army's "Adopt - A - Family" program at Christmas. She enjoyed taking phone calls from people who had adopted a family as well as bagging donated presents from those who shared her fondness for kids.
Royce was preceded by her husband, Dr. Eugene Northcott; her father, William Mensinger; mother, Jane Mensinger; and her brother, Michael Mensinger.
Royce is survived by her sister, Marcia Coy; her two sons, Joseph Northcott and Christian Northcott; Christian's wife, Keri Northcott; and the second love of her life, Clint Waring.
We will miss you Royce. You made the world a better place.
