RONALD ROBERT LAKE AND JOYCE BROWN LAKE
        A memorial service will be held in Tiburon today for Ronald Robert
Lake and Joyce Brown Lake of Corte Madera, who died Monday when Alaska
Airlines Flight 261 crashed into the ocean near Point Mugu.  He was 59 and
she was 62.
        The Lakes loved the outdoors and spent their last days doing what
they enjoyed most - being with each other in Puerto Vallarta, according to
family and friends.
        Mr. Lake retired last year as a bank inspector for the comptroller's
office of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in San Francisco.  The past
chairman of his neighborhood association, he collected model trains, loved
to kayak and even dabbled in gold mining.
        Mrs. Lake was a highly successful real estate broker for Frank
Howard Allen Realtors in Greenbrae and was active in outreach programs for
the Community Congregational Church in Tiburon.  Mr. Lake is survived by
three grown sons, Jeffrey Whitworth and Bradley Whitworth, both of Houston,
Texas, and Keith Whitworth, of Sarasota, Fla.; a sister Jean Lake
Weingaertner, of St. Louis, Mo.; and brother, Bernard H. Lake Jr., of West
Covina, Los Angeles County.
        Mrs. Lake is survived by her mother, Nina Hanning, of Sedalia, Mo.,
and her brother, Larry Brown, also of Sedalia.
        Services will be held at 2 p.m. at the Community Congregation [sic]
Church of Tiburon, 145 Rock Hill Drive, Tiburon.
