Fanchon Dianne Jimenez
Our beloved, Fanchon Dianne Jimenez (nee Tognazzini), born Feb. 17, 1944 in Santa Maria, CA, peacefully passed away on Jan. 11, 2024 in Temecula, CA.
Fanchon was a beacon of love and laughter, gracing the lives of everyone she encountered. A devoted and cherished mother, grandmother, wife, sister, niece, cousin and friend, she leaves everyone with a piece of her wisdom, strength, and fierce dedication.
Fanchon’s kitchen was a place of warmth and joy where she lovingly crafted her famous Goulash and other scrumptious dishes that brought family and friends together. Her silly laugh and spunky spirit lit up the room, creating lasting memories for all. As we say goodbye to this beautiful and beloved soul, may her legacy of big love and devotion continue to inspire us all.
She is survived by her husband, Louie Jimenez of Temecula, Frank Ruiz, her son, Stephanie Fackler, her daughter, her 5 step-children, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her trusty companion Chula.
In deepest loving memory of Fanchon’s legacy, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her honor to dementiasociety.org/donate.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to England Family Mortuary, Inc.

We had so many great times together when our babies were young. Such wonderful memories of making tamales together, the family parties and games at the park. Although I never tasted your “goulash “, who could ever forget your peanut butter and mayo sandwiches!
So many things I would have loved to share with you before you left. Too soon!
And one last thing… thank you for Frankie and Stephanie they bless our family.
