Inside Bay Area

Former Oakland City Councilmember Dezie Woods Jones is recovering in a Fresno rehabilitation center from a severe West Nile virus attack.
She has been hospitalized in Fresno for a month from the illness, which she contracted in Madera, a city near Fresno, where she and her new husband live.

They were married in a large formal wedding at Allen Temple Baptist Church in June and moved into a new home they had built in Madera.

Woods Jones is well-known in Oakland for her long tenure on the council and as president of the Black Women Organized for Political Action.

Cards and letters would be appreciated as she recovers. The family requests friends to send mail to her home at 13892 Killarney, Madera, CA 93638.
