Gaddi Vasquez will head administrative staff at the historic Sunnylands estate of Walter and Leonore Annenberg
The estate at Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope drives in Rancho Mirage, home to a prestigious art collection and nine-hole golf course behind pink brick walls, eventually will open for tours three days a week. Family spokeswoman Kathleen Hall Jamieson said the 240-acre estate passes into a family trust with Annenberg's death, but an administrative staff headed by Gaddi Vasquez and former Palm Springs Art Museum executive director Janice Lyle will oversee a staff to run the facility to be called the Annenberg Center. The tours will include discussions of the importance of the art collection, including works by Rodin and Picasso, said Jamieson, and the California modernism movement exemplified by Sunnylands. Former Peace Corps Director Gaddi H. Vasquez was U.S. ambassador to U.N. food agencies based in Rome and is now Executive Director at the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands.

The historic Sunnylands estate of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, which required such privacy for visiting world leaders that it earned restricted air space status, soon will open to the public.

Leonore Annenberg, who died Thursday morning, is expected to be interred in a mausoleum in a private portion of the estate next to her late husband, Walter.
But the estate at Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope drives in Rancho Mirage, home to a prestigious art collection and nine-hole golf course behind pink brick walls, eventually will open for tours three days a week.
Family spokeswoman Kathleen Hall Jamieson said the 240-acre estate passes into a family trust with Annenberg's death, but an administrative staff headed by Gaddi Vasquez and former Palm Springs Art Museum executive director Janice Lyle will oversee a staff to run the facility to be called the Annenberg Center.
The tours will include discussions of the importance of the art collection, including works by Rodin and Picasso, said Jamieson, and the California modernism movement exemplified by Sunnylands.
A 40-acre conference center off Bob Hope and just south of Gerald Ford Drive is under construction.
Annenberg attorney Emily Hemphill told the city's General Plan Advisory Committee on Nov. 10 the center would be “a place to display the memorabilia collected over the years” by the Annenbergs, and to “promote political objectives of interest to Ambassador Annenberg,” according to minutes from the meeting.
Leonore Annenberg's interment will be private, but a public memorial service is expected to be announced.
Annenberg is survived by a sister, Judith Wolf; a daughter from her first marriage, Diane Deshong of Beverly Hills; a daughter from her second marriage, Elizabeth Kabler of New York; a stepdaughter, Wallis Annenberg of Los Angeles; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
