Our Mom passed away Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, ending a wonderful life of 90 years.  

She is survived by her husband of 72 years, David (Dave) Lewis; sons Paul (Kathy) and Gary (Darla); grandchildren Stacie (Tim) Drain, Sandra (Paul) Watts, David Lewis and Shelby; and five great-grandchildren Timothy Drain, Annie and Maggie Watts, and Lila and Sarah Lewis.

We could not have asked for a more godly mother who taught us respect, tolerance, pride and caring for others, and who also showered us with love all of her life. As children we were always included in the fun activities of camping and fishing and neighborhood barbecues. We wish all families could experience the love that we did not only while growing up, but all of our lives.

We want to thank Hospice Services for the wonderful care they gave to our mother and also for helping Dad through his grief. We respectfully request that donations be made to Hospice of Lake County which would have been what Mom would have wanted.

A celebration of Lila's life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, at United Methodist Church, 676 Clover Valley Road, Upper Lake.

Vera Davis of Glenhaven, Calif., passed away on Nov. 19, 2012, at the age of 94.

She leaves behind her beloved family: sons, Bob Bedwell and Bill Bedwell; granddaughter, Linda Whitley; three great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.

Born in Sailor Springs, Illinois to Edward and Fern Robinson, Vera moved around the country, living mostly in Indiana then on to East Oakland before settling in Clearlake Oaks in 1975.

She traveled a great deal as her husband Marshell was a traveling salesman who took her all across the country. In the Bay Area, she worked in several canneries.

She was married to her first husband, Marshell, for 54 years and when he passed away she met and married Al Davis with whom she spent 10 years.

She was a caregiver to both husbands and never complained as she was acting as their nurse.

 Vera was always active; she loved to cook and to sew, and at one time co-owned an upholstery business.

She was a member of the Moose Lodge in Clearlake Oaks as well as a member of TOPS.

Her greatest love at the end were her animals – Ty the cat and CJ the dog; they were all the best of buddies.

Vera had a heart of gold and will be remembered fondly by her family and friends.

Services will be private.

Mack Arthur Hagemann died at home amongst family on Monday, Nov. 12, 2012.

He was born in Pampa, Texas, to Lawrence and Pearl Hagemann.   

He served six years in the United States Navy from 1960-1966 and in 1971 he moved to Upper Lake, Calif., with his wife, Nancy Lorene Hagemann, from Alameda, Calif.

He continued to commute to the Bay Area, where he worked as a UC Berkley Campus Police officer.

Mack was an outstanding marksman and was a member of the police department’s competition pistol team.

Upon leaving the UC Berkley Police Department he devoted himself to a typical Lake County life and workstyle; working in a backhoe and tractor business, co-owning a construction business, building roads for a logging business, and growing walnuts.   

He also enjoyed numerous hobbies: woodworking, leatherworking, gunsmithing, flying and especially fishing. Mack was an avid fisherman and proud member of the Derby Hat Fishing Club. Ironically, Mack didn’t like to eat the fish he caught and friends and family were always the grateful recipients of that irony.

He was a longtime pillar of the Upper Lake community with friends too numerous to mention.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy Lorene Hagemann; two children, Vickie Lynn Red and Joe Wilson Doom; three grandchildren, Jason Red, Brandi Dobmeier and Shawn Jones; five great-grandchildren, Ava Red, Peyton Hynes-Red, Nicole Dobmeier, Jennifer Dobmeier and Elizabeth Dobmeier; as well as one great-great grandchild, Ivy Sowyer.

Papa Mack will be dearly missed.
