The Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office is looking for the families of six people who died recently, five within the past week.

  • Donald Rhodes, 69, of Modesto, died Tuesday at Doctors Medical Center of natural causes

  • Albert Donally, 93, of Waterford, died Sunday at his residence of natural causes

  • Lonnie Dean Love, 59, of Modesto, died Saturday at Doctors Medical Center of natural causes
  • Rammie L Furr, 53, a transient of Modesto, died Saturday at Doctors Medical Center of natural causes

  • Samuel Spencer, 34, a transient of Turlock, died Thursday at Doctors Medical Center of natural causes
  • Sandra Kay Williams, 63, of Modesto, died Jan. 14 at Doctors Medical Center of natural causes

None of the deaths are related to the coronavirus and most are cardiac related, said Coroner’s Office Sgt. Jesus Sigala.

For a variety of reasons, the next of kin for these Stanislaus County residents are unable or unwilling to take responsibility for funeral arrangements so the office is looking for other family or friends who will.

They are asked to contact the Coroner’s Office at 209-567-4480.
