Edwin H. Learned
Private graveside services were held on Tuesday, at the St. Helena Cemetery followed by a memorial service that evening at Chapel of the Valley Funeral Home for Edwin H. Learned, 63, of St. Helena who died on April 13 in a San Francisco Hospital.
A native San Franciscan, Mr. Learned attended schools in the Bay Area. He was associated with the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco until entering the U.S. Army, serving for five years.
After his discharge he moved to St. Helena where he and his father-in-law operated the McCormick Ranch. After the death of Mr. McCormick, he continued to operate the ranch alone.
Active in government and community affairs, Mr. Learned was awarded the John Companius Holm Award by the Department of Commerce for his accurate meteorological observations over the years. He was also instrumental in instigating the micro-filming of all back issues of the St. Helena STAR while he was a member of the Napa Valley Wine Library and Friends of the Library.
Mr. Learned had been interested in the preservation of valley history and culture including that of the early pioneers. He had researched the genealogical history of his wife's family as well as his own which showed him to be a 12th generation American.
Survivors include his wife, Edna May of St. Helena; a daughter, Sandra D. of San Francisco; a son, Gary H. of St. Helena; a brother, Donald E. of Ross; and a sister-in-law, Ina M. Hart of St. Helena.

Sandra Learned Perry, 67, of St. Helena passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on July 6 of complications from Guillain-Barrè Syndrome.
Sandra was born at the St. Helena Sanitarium on February 13, 1948 to “Babe” McCormick and Ed Learned.
As a fifth generation Napa Valley resident on her maternal side, Sandra counted among her ancestors the McCormicks, Hudsons and Yorks, trailblazers who trekked from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast on foot, horseback, and wagon train beginning in 1844 to settle in the Napa Valley, then part of the Mexican Territory.
In 1845, the McCormicks joined the Hudsons on the Grigsby Ide Wagon Party and built a cabin for the winter in Calistoga, along with their relatives the Yorks. In the spring of 1846, everyone not of Spanish-Mexican descent was told to leave the area, but the Hudsons and nearly everyone in the wagon party refused. Instead, the families stitched makeshift bear flags from old clothing and took part in the Bear Flag Revolt, demanding California’s independence from Mexico. Several months later, the United States declared war on Mexico, and California became a state in 1850.
Sandra’s great-grandmother Molly Hudson, born at the start of the revolt, became known as the “Bear Flag Baby” and for that distinction she received $100 a year from the San Francisco Society of California Pioneers. In 1866, Molly married Henry Mixer McCormick, and they settled on the Spring Mountain ranch, a wedding present from her father, William Hudson.
Sandra grew up on the McCormick Ranch and attended St. Helena schools, graduating as a proud member of the St. Helena High School Class of 1966.
During those years, her friends remember the Learned family working together to make the ranch as self-sufficient as possible. They tended cows, chickens, and horses, but sheep were their mainstay. Thanks to Ed and Babe, many of Sandra’s classmates learned lessons in sheep shearing and branding, and in horseback riding. The latter skill was used riding the ranch in spring, picking up stray lambs, laying them over the saddle, and looking for their mothers. At the ranch, too, Sandra formed a profitable enterprise in gathering, inspecting, and selling eggs. Great care was taken in not surprising a client with a fertilized egg. Funds were used to buy treasured school clothes.
Despite growing up on a ranch, Sandra had a strong fashion sense, and her wardrobe was ready for anything, including worldwide travel. She was also a master knitter, and, though a novice, a talented pastel artist.
Following high school, Sandra attended U.C. Berkeley where she made lifelong friendships in the Alpha Phi sorority. After graduation in 1969, she participated in a culinary apprenticeship in France, and upon her return found employment at the Clift Hotel. During this work, Sandra serendipitously discovered food styling and began a career in which her work was featured in many advertisements and Bon Appétit magazine covers.
While Sandra was working in The City, life on the ranch changed drastically when, in 1975, her father, Ed, died of cancer, and her younger brother, Gary, was killed in a tree-felling accident. Babe moved off the ranch thereafter, and Sandra and her mother worked together to reknit the family and secure a future that allowed Babe to live a full life in St. Helena until her 95th year. Along with sharing the family’s historic photographs and artifacts Babe and Sandra donated over 1,000 acres of the McCormick Ranch to the Sugarloaf Ridge State Park.
Shortly after the death of her father and brother, Sandra met the dashing Jim Perry of San Francisco. They shared a love of music, dancing and the outdoors. They were married in 1986. The union produced two sons, Scott and Cole.
As Scott reached school age, Sandra and Jim relocated from San Francisco to St. Helena where they built their home. Here she expressed her dual love for her boys and her dedication to education by forming a non-profit foundation, Acorn Soupe, devoted to providing environmental education to children in Napa and Sonoma counties. Additionally, she was active for many years in the St. Helena Cooperative Nursery School, serving in multiple capacities, including president. The Co-op’s annual fundraiser was brought to a new level with Sandra’s culinary skills.
Sandra never stopped parenting her boys and wishing for grandchildren to teach to cook and knit, to read, and to wish them “fait de beaux rêves,” her favorite end-of-day saying.
Sandra is survived by her husband, Jim Perry, of St. Helena, and sons, Scott Learned Perry of Long Beach, CA, and Cole McCormick Perry of Portland, OR.
She was predeceased by her parents, Ed and Babe, and her brother, Gary, as well as her beloved aunt, Ina McCormick Hart, and her husband, Bill Hart.
Sandra will be buried privately at the St. Helena Public Cemetery, land that was donated to the city by her family. A celebration of her life will be held at Charles Krug Winery on August 12 from 3:30-6 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations in Sandra’s memory to the St. Helena Historical Society or an environmental education charity of your choice.

Tragedy struck near St. Helena late Tuesday afternoon when one of its native sons was killed in a ranch accident.
Gary H. Learned, 23, son of Edna Mae "Babe" Learned and the late Edwin Learned, was apparently killed by a falling tree as he was clearing some land on the family ranch high atop Spring Mountain. He was last seen when he left the house after lunch. When
he did not return for dinner his mother went out looking for him, finding him still on the equipment he had been using to clear some trees on the ranch. He was rushed to the St. Helena Hospital but pronounced dead on arrival. It was assumed a tree had struck him, then rolled off the vehicle.
