Tomi Patrice Havanis-Hudmon, 58, of Lodi, California, passed away in her home on March 24, 2018. Tomi was born on March 31, 1960 in Whittier, California, the daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Havanis. She is survived by her children Rachel (29) and David (25) Hudmon of Lodi, California, and her brother Kelly Havanis and his family of West Covina, California.
Tomi was a proud alumni of Los Altos High School in Hacienda Heights, California class of 1978. She attended Mt. San Antonio College before starting her long career in Office Management with many companies in Southern California before finally settling in Lodi in 1988.
Tomi was a true California girl. If she could live near the beach she would. A sweet soul, an enormous heart, a constant smile, and a deep love for everyone who entered her life. These are a few things that can explain the amazing woman and mother she was. Tomi was a book lover, an animal lover,and a food lover, but the love she expressed most of all was for her two children, Rachel and David. She was their best friend, their #1 fan, and not a day would go by that she wouldn't check on them and see how their day was going. On the nights she couldn't sleep she would send them heartfelt notes just to remind them how much love she had in her heart for them. Her children were her first thought when she woke and the last thought before sleep. Tomi took great pride in watching her children grow and experience life.
Tomi's generous heart knew no bounds! She helped anyone and everyone, even when she herself had so little to share, she found a way to make a difference. She would have adopted any and every dog she came across, but settled on just adoring her own puppies. Her warm caring heart will be greatly missed by so many!
An Open House in honor of Tomi will be held on Friday, April 5th, 2019, at Church of Latter Day Saints, 1510 W. Century Blvd., Lodi, CA, from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. In lieu of flowers you can make a donation in her honor to the Lodi City Animal Shelter, 1345 W. Kettleman Lane, Lodi, CA, 95242.

Most recently she was serving as a member of Lincoln Presbyterian Church in Stockton. Sara drew her strength from her relationship with Jesus and she lived her life in the light of her Savior's promise of life everlasting with Him. "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NLT) Sara retired after more than 20 years from the Bank of Stockton. She spent her adult life serving her Savoir in many ways. Her heart for the Lord and her conviction that innocent human life is precious in God's sight led her to work for nearly 30 years in various arenas, such as The California ProLife Council, as well as supporting pro-life Republican candidates. She was also active in Republican Women Federated, Conservative Republicans, and the Republican Central Committee.
Donations in her name may be made to California Prolife Council In-lieu of flowers. California ProLife Council, PO Box 935, Sacramento, CA 95812 . https://www.californiaprolife.org

Andrew John Mital was born on August 28, 1931 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the second of three children born to Thomas and Elizabeth Mital. He had an older brother, Thomas and a younger sister, Elsie. He grew up on a farm and attended school in Kingston, Michigan. His hobbies included fishing, hunting, trapping and photography. After his father passed away in 1945 and brother in 1947, his family moved to Los Angeles, California. At age 22, he enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in Mountain Home, Idaho, Chanute, Illinois and Biloxi, Mississippi.
He studied electronics and worked on flight simulators among other things. He was honorably discharged after 3 years of serving his country. Andy moved to Paradise in 1961. He initially built spec homes but transitioned into selling real estate after a serious back injury. He joined DeVaney Realty, obtained his broker’s license and eventually purchased the business from Bill DeVaney. Several years later Andy went into partnership at Coldwell Banker Ponderosa. After approximately five years he chose to sell his interest in the partnership but remained with the company working part-time reviewing preliminary reports. He was recognized as Realtor of the Year in 2015. Paradise was Andy’s home for 55 years. Due to health issues Andy retired in 2016 at the age of 85 and moved to Reno, Nevada to be closer to family.
Andy is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Elsie and Don Warner, niece Denise Campion (Curt) and nephews Ray Warner (Karen) and Tom Warner (Sharon). Andy was very involved in the lives of his sister, her husband, niece, nephews, 4 great nieces, 4 great nephews and 1 great great nephew. He attended the children’s baseball, soccer and basketball games, music recitals, birthday parties, graduations, school and church programs, and holiday celebrations. He was dearly loved.
Andy enjoyed the outdoors, camping, photography, exercise, nutrition, reading and most of all fishing. He loved his annual trips to the Umpqua River in southern Oregon. He enjoyed salmon, steelhead, shad and most of all smallmouth bass fishing. It was on these fishing trips that he loved to photograph nature, especially the osprey and bald eagle.
Andy was a highly respected person, friend and professional. He is and will continue to be greatly missed.
