YOUNGSTOWN Ms. Janis Lorraine Dodson, 70, transitioned from her earthly labor to her heavenly reward, Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.
Ms. Dodson was born Aug. 16, 1950, in Youngtown, a daughter of James Morgan and Ireatha Henderson. She was a 1968 graduate of East High School.
A devoted homemaker, Janis also worked as a cafeteria and teacher’s aide with the Youngstown City Schools. She was a member of Phillips Chapel CME Church, its stewardess board and treasurer.
Her passion was taking care of others, especially children.
She leaves to mourn her passing, three loving children, Orlanda Dodson, Quiana Dodson and JeLonn Dodson, all of Youngstown; 13 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; a sister, Puella Jordan of Columbus; and a host of family and friends.
In the 1940s, Nick Gabaldón, an athletic, handsome student at Santa Monica High School, would often escape class to Bay Street Beach, a half-mile stretch of shoreline roughly between Pico and Bicknell Streets, by the Casa Del Mar hotel. Derisively called the Inkwell by some white Angelenos, Bay Street Beach was a haven for people of color.
Here, Gabaldón would bodysurf for hours, impressing two white lifeguards who loaned him a rescue board. With this heavy, 13-foot board, Gabaldón taught himself to surf, becoming the first documented Black surfer in America. He eventually took to riding the waves in Malibu, paddling six miles north and another six miles back, because he knew he would not be welcome walking on most of Santa Monica s beaches.
