Becerra, Alexis From: Timothy Rush < Sent: Friday, September 26, 2025 4:47 PM To: eComment Subject: Please direct this to the mayor Valerie Amescua in regards to the passing of a former miss Santa Ana from 1938 Attention:This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Honorable Mayor: I thought you would be interested to know that Margaret Lang,who was a recipient of numerous certificates of recognition from yourself and other mayors and members of the council over the years as she advanced in age sadly passed away this week at the ripe age of 106 years of age. She slipped the bonds of this earth peacefully with her family around her.This wonderful lady was a longtime friend and former client of mine. Both she and her husband, her husband George passed away about 30 years ago. Miss Lang was a graduate of Santa Ana high school I believe in 1937 and was Miss Santa Ana in 1938 and Rhode, on the Metropolitan water District Rose parade featuring representatives from all 13 founding cities of which Santa Ana was one. Margaret's grandfather was a sheepherder. He was a Basque heritage and he raised sheep in the area around the family ranch house,which was at 804 North Baker St. and of course was built about 160 years ago and didn't have a bathroom or modern plumbing. It is on our cities register of historic buildings and of course as one of the oldest homes in Washington Square. Her daughter Julie Lang graduated with Tom Lutz from Santa Ana high school in 1962. Miss Lang lived with her daughter for the last many years in the family home in Dana point. I'm assuming you would like to close the next council meeting in her memory. Please call me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Tim Rush, Past president Washington Square neighborhood association Sent from my iPhone 1
