Betty Worland

November 16, 1934 – November 05, 2021

Betty L. Worland (nee Snyder) was born on Nov 16, 1934 in Springfield, MO to Silas M. and Margarette C. Snyder.  She entered eternity on Friday Nov 5, 2021.   

In her early teens Betty moved to Oakridge, OR with her mother and three of her siblings. In 1951 while working as a waitress in Oakridge she met James Worland. They married in January 1952 and five of their six children were born in Oregon.  In 1962 the family moved to Clements, CA when Jim started working on the construction of Comanche Reservoir as a heavy equipment mechanic. In February 1968 their sixth child was born in Lodi.

Betty attended Lodi Cosmetology School in 1974 and practiced her craft at several salons in Lockeford, CA.  She also was employed with Woodbridge Golf and Country Club for approximately fifteen years.  

In the early nineties Betty drove the Alaska Highway to Anchorage where she lived for several years, then to Issaquah, WA before returning to California where she has resided since.  Betty had an adventurous spirit and was a gifted artist, enjoyed oil painting and quilting.  She loved, mornings, coffee, flowers, bluegrass music, people and visiting with friends and family.  Sadly, the onset of dementia in 2013 curtailed many of her activities.  She entered Arbor assisted living in 2016 and after two falls, was moved to the Vienna Convalescent facility in Lodi.  Despite many difficulties and heartbreaking events throughout her life, our mother remained upbeat, loving and forgiving-always with a smile on her face.

 As her health rapidly declined over the past few weeks, we, her children and grandchildren are forever thankful that we were able to bring her to her granddaughter Kristen’s home to spend her final days surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

 We rejoice that mom is now with her Lord and Savior and loved ones in Heaven.

Betty is preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Rusty Snyder, James Snyder, Willie Snyder, sister Wanda Oliver and two sons, Michael Allen Worland and Douglas Allen Worland.

She is survived by her children, Daniel (Peggy) Worland, Marieta (Mark) Drumm, Shawnee (Ken) Blackwell and Clint (Lisa) Worland and 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Leslie "Les" Emil Schmid

Janaury 30, 1929 - November 5, 2021

It is with full hearts that the Schmid family announces the passing on November 5, 2021, of their remarkable father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Leslie Emil Schmid (92) of Stockton, California. His daughter, Dawn, was at his side when he passed.

A fifth generation Californian, Les was born January 30, 1929, to Emil and Alice (Katberg) Schmid in Modesto, California. He was a proud descendent of pioneers settling at Sutter's Fort in 1845 before the Gold Rush. Raised in a farming family in the San Joaquin Valley, Les graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in agricultural engineering then served two years in the US Navy at Skaggs Island Naval Communication Station.

After Les returned from military service, his focus turned to harvesting and the subsequent founding of L E Schmid Contract Harvesting Inc. His degree, his farming experience, and his keen interest in farming equipment made him the ideal candidate to adapt combine grain harvesters to the unique farming conditions of California. Starting in the 1960s, Les collaborated over the years with John Deere, Case, and others to adapt and design prototype combine grain harvesters. He also designed and built his own bank-out wagon and called it "Ramo." The bank-out wagon increased the speed of custom harvesting. Les shared his expertise with the Peace Corps in 1975, teaching modern agriculture practices and harvester operation for six months in India. For his many contributions to the field of agriculture, Les was inducted into the San Joaquin County Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2009.

Les's substantial public service and community involvement included years of service as director of Roberts Union Farm Center and a very active membership in the San Joaquin County Farm Bureau as well s the Stockton Chamber of Commerce. He served the Farm Bureau as a Director at Large throughout his life. For over 25 years he served as a chairman of the Stockton Ag Expo Committee and was instrumental in planning the Expo show every year.

Also known as "Schmitty" by friends, Les was a charter member of the Hitch and Bitch Riding and Driving Society. He was active in the Sonoma County Trailblazers and the Reno Sierra Riders. He was a member of the San Joaquin County Historical Society and had also been a member of the Mason Morning Star Masonic Lodge #19 since 1952. Other memberships included the Grandfathers Club of America and the Fire House 5 Gang.

Les and his beloved wife Evelyn "Evie" (Morgans) were married from 1953 until her passing in 2016. They were actively involved in their children's activities, including horses, baseball, and BMX. Les was also known for his holiday gatherings. Friends and family could count on his famous tacos, which he made individually for each party-goer, particularly on the Fourth of July and at the legendary Halloween parties.

Les is survived by his children, David (Becci) of Clovis, CA, Dawn (Patrick) McGuire of Atascadero, CA, and John (Lori King) of Clements, CA; granddaughters Jenn and Nicole, and great-grandaughter Ava all of Clovis, CA; along with sister Dawn Mensinger of Modesto, CA and brother Lewis Schmid of Irvine, CA.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the San Joaquin County Historical Society.

SERVICES:

Services for Les will be held on Friday December 3, 2021 at 1:00pm in the Vineyard Chapel at Cherokee Memorial Park, 14165 N. Beckman Rd. in Lodi, California.

Tamera "Tami" Paul

June 14, 1950 - October 27, 2021

Tami Paul, age 71, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021. Tami was a beautiful Christian woman with steadfast faith. Although she had bravely battled cancer victoriously before, Tami passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her husband and children after being diagnosed on October 1st with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Tami was born Tamera Lynn on June 14, 1950 in Bakersfield, CA, the youngest child and only daughter of Bill and Jeane Thompson. She attended Foothill High School and was a cheerleader throughout all 4 years. She was active in her church where she helped lead youth groups and served as girl’s camp counselor at Hume Lake. One of the girls in her charge at Hume Lake was a young Susan Paul, who would later become her sister by marriage and continue on to an inseparable bond of sisterhood and friendship Tami would forever cherish.

After High School, Tami attended Bakersfield College where she met the love of her life, Greg Paul, who was immediately captivated by her beautiful brown eyes and stunning smile while passing her in the hallway between classes. He asked her on a date shortly after and the two were married in September of 1970.

Tami and Greg made their home in Stockton, CA, where together they built their business, Greg Paul Produce Sales, Inc. and raised their two children, Tiffany and James. They were members at Quail Lakes Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Stockton. Tami was a constant fixture at her children’s many sports and activities, taxiing her children and their friends and teammates from one destination to the next, always happy to help out when and wherever needed.  Likewise, she rarely missed any of her husband Greg’s races, be it boats, bikes or cars. No matter how nervous she sometimes may have been, she was always there cheering him on. 

Tami was athletic and enjoyed many sports, racquetball, golf, water skiing, sailing catamarans, snow skiing, and playing in the Church softball league.  She spent Thursday mornings at Pacific Avenue Bowl with her teammates of 30+ years as part of the Thursday Morning Slowpokes bowling league. The high stakes league play that took place weekly consisted of enjoying the food supplied by the assigned team of the week, talking, laughing and catching up with friends, participating in the annual ornament exchange and some bowling as well. Her team “Once in a While” held the title of league champion more than a few times in those 30+ years.

Tami was most known for her infectious smile and loving spirit. She loved laughter and having fun. No matter what was going on in her life, she lit up the room when she entered, always happy and friendly to everyone. She was thoughtful and kind, always thinking of others before herself. She treasured her friends and loved ones and had several close friendships that were like family to her. She would keep in touch with them no matter when or where in the world they were, letting them know she was thinking of them and how special they were to her.

Other than deepening her relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Tami was most content just spending time with her family. Some of the best family memories were made while vacationing at destinations with either snow or surf, frequent trips to Disneyland and a few girl’s trips to celebrate special occasions. She loved watching and being part of her children’s everyday lives and their many milestones (at one time the most anticipated being their driver’s licenses) and of course, the anticipation and arrival of her four precious grandchildren, watching them grow and have milestones of their own. However, above all else, Tami loved spending time with her husband Greg, it didn’t matter where it was or what they were doing, if she was with him, she was content and happy.

Tami is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, Greg Paul of Stockton, her daughter and son-in-law Tiffany and John Lupul of Bakersfield, her son and daughter-in-law James and Norene Paul of Stockton and her four grandchildren; Donovan Lupul, Michael Paul, Lauren Paul and Simone Lupul. Additionally, she is survived by her brother and sister-in-law James “Jimmy” and Joy Thompson of Lake Isabella, her sister-in-law Molly Moore of Huntington Beach, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Rick and Annie Paul of Bakersfield, sister-in-law Jane Paul of Bakersfield, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Susan and Andrew Oliveira of Stockton and her numerous nieces and nephews and their families; Amanda Jordan, Wendy Thompson Goetz, Sam Precie, Jeremiah Thompson, Joshua Thompson, Robert Paul, Valerie Lallo, Jennifer Toy and Brian Oliveira.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Jeane Thompson of Bakersfield, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law John and Donna Thompson of Delano.

Tami’s family would like to thank everyone for their love and support. We feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many caring family and friends. Your prayers and thoughtfulness have given us the strength to endure. Additionally, we’d like to thank Dr. Prasad Dighe and Dr. Ashok Daftary for their many decades of expertise, care and dedication to Tami’s health and wellbeing, as well as Hospice of San Joaquin for their specialized care in Tami’s last days.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, November 9th, 2021 at 11:00 am at Lincoln Presbyterian Church, 900 Douglas Road, Stockton, CA. The service will also be live streamed on the Church’s YouTube channel.

A family graveside service will take place on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021 at 11:00 am in the Heritage Garden at Cherokee Memorial Park, 14165 N. Beckman Road, Lodi, CA.
