• Notes

  acific Grove - Belinda Ach passed away after a brave struggle with breast cancer on Saturday, May 8. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the daughter of Barbara Stark Ach and Anthony Louis Ach. She moved to the Monterey Peninsula in 1973 and was a resident of Pacific Grove for the last 30 years. Belinda was a well-known character about town. Her natural friendliness, kindness, generosity, humor and good cheer made her many friends. Her passions in life included the care of her cats, endless arts and crafts projects, nature and the company of her friends and family. Belinda was especially proud of completing the Big Sur Marathon. She also volunteered at the SPCA. She carried the burdens of some developmental disabilities with great dignity, perseverance and courage and would not let her challenges defeat her. She had remarkable reservoirs of strength, compassion and forgiveness. Last August, Belinda committed herself to Samuel Johnson IV, a lifelong friend, in a joining ceremony here in Pacific Grove. In addition to Sam, she is survived by her father, Anthony L. Ach of Cincinnati, OH; her brothers, Jonathan (Joann) Ach of San Leandro and Richard (Carey Behel) Ach of Prescott, AZ; her nieces and nephew, Dr. Sarah Lowenthal of Oakland, Anna Lowenthal Walsh of Minneapolis, MN, Alicia Ach of San Leandro and Samuel Ach of Bellingham, WA; her stepbrother, Peter Marcus of Cincinnati, OH and her stepsister, Sally Garrett of Laguna Beach. She was preceded in death by her mother, Barbara Stark Marcus; her sister, Toni Louis Lowenthal; and her step- parents, Doris Deaver Ach and Richard F. Marcus. Belinda's family wishes to express their profound gratitude to her physicians, Dr. Jerry Rubin, Joy Smith and the members of her Cancer Support Group at Community Hospital; the Peel Family of Pacific Grove and all her many and loyal friends throughout her life.
