Married Peter J. Kingston Mar 25, 1983 in San Francisco Co.

2001-02-12 04:00:00 PDT Santa Cruz -- Kristina Mailliard, who pioneered adding nutritional supplements to natural beverages and started an innovative scheme to help feed senior citizens in Santa Cruz County, died following a nine-year battle with breast cancer Wednesday. She was 48.

Ms. Mailliard and her husband, Peter Kingston, grew Mrs. Wiggles Rocket Juice Co. from a small Santa Cruz juice manufacturer to one with a national product line. The couple moved their operation to Santa Rosa in 1985 and sold their natural beverage line to J.M. Smucker Corp. in 1998.

Ms. Mailliard was born in San Francisco and grew up in Santa Rosa, attending Proctor Terrace Elementary, Santa Rosa Junior High and Santa Rosa High School.

After graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz she co- founded the California Grey Bears, a senior citizen volunteer group that distributes donated produce to senior citizens throughout Santa Cruz County.

She also worked as a legislative aide to U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston before attending the Harvard Business School, graduating in the class of 1981.

Ms. Mailliard served on the 1987 Blue Ribbon Task Force on Hunger in Sonoma County and was co-author of its final 100 page report. The report was recognized in a 1988 County Achievement Award by the National Board of Supervisors Association for outstanding work.

"She was a brilliant mind and somebody who had a strong sense of public service," said her brother, Henry Ward Mailliard. "Her passion was her kids and family - she was a visionary in a very quiet way."

Ms. Mailliard was the daughter of former San Francisco and Marin County Congressman William S. Mailliard and Sonoma County artist Elizabeth Quandt, both of whom are deceased.

She is survived by her husband, Peter James Kingston; her two children, James "Jamie" and Genevieve "Gwenny" Kingston; brothers William S. Mailliard Jr. of Santa Rosa, Henry Ward Mailliard of Watsonville and Jonathan Quandt of Santa Rosa; sisters Antoinette Mailliard of San Francisco, Julia Mailliard Nelson of McLean, Va., Josephine Mailliard Fleming of Arlington, Va., and Leigh Mailliard Walker of Raymond, Maine; her stepmother, Millicent Fox Mailliard, of Washington, D.C.; five nephews and four nieces.

A private memorial service will be held on Feb. 19 at the Mountain Home Ranch near Calistoga. Donations in Memory of Ms. Mailliard can be sent to Sutter VNA and Hospice, 1110 North Dutton Ave., Santa Rosa CA 95404.
