Ophelia Ochoa Soto
March 29, 1933 - January 11, 2021
Ophelia 87 years old, was born on Wednesday March 29, 1933 to Isidro Ochoa and
Maria Varges in Los Angeles Ca. She went home to be with the Lord on
January 11, 2011 after being admitted to Kaiser Hospital in Ontario, California
with pneumonia and testing positive for Covid 19. She quietly and peacefully
past away at 8:52 am.
Ophelia was preceded in death by her husband Frank Stovall, father Isidro mother Maria Ochoa, daughter Rita Ochoa son Gerald Stovall, sisters Ermelinda O. Stafford, Hortensia Ochoa, brothers Albert and Isidro Ochoa. We know it was a happy day at that heavenly family reunion.
Ophelia loved the Lord and trusted Him whole heartedly. Especially with her children. The 23rd psalms was very dear to her. After our father passed away in 1969, our mom raised her children primarily on her own. Working in factories, warehouses and as a caregiver to provide for us. She did all she could for each one of us. She understood that all her children were different and treated us according to our special wants and needs. She was always willing to listen and help us. But she wouldn't hesitate to tell us the truth and express her feelings about any situation. She had a saying for every occasion the one I hear now is "Put it in God’s hands".
Ophelia loved to cook and knew that she was good at it. Her favorite dishes included everything from tamales and enchiladas to collard greens and corn bread. There was always potato salad and macaroni salad on the table with every holiday meal. She would sit back and smile with great satisfaction on her face as she watched everyone enjoy the fruits of her labor.
She also enjoyed dressing up. She was fancy — from the bow in her long hair to the shoes on her feet and everything in between. She loved her accessories. She took pride in her appearance she dressed up even if she was only going to the grocery store. Ophelia loved life and family.
Ophelia is survived by her brother Salvador Ochoa, children James Welch, Linton Stovall, Tonoa Ledbetter, Martin Stovall and Don Stovall, nephew Robert Ochoa Erro, 18 grand children, 19 great grand children, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and extended family friends.
Due to the uncertain times we find ourselves in, we will not be having a formal memorial service at this time. We do plan to celebrate her life with family and friends at a future date yet to be determined. However, we encourage all who knew and love her to celebrate her life in your own special way according to your memories of her.
Ophelia will be laid to rest at
Hermosa Gardens Cemetery
900 Meridian Ave
Colton, Ca 92324
Date to be determined by service providers.

Thomas Daniel Oldefendt
March 14, 1959 - January 8, 2021
Thomas Daniel
Oldefendt, 69, known to many as Tommy or Tom, was born in Owatonna, Minnesota
passed away on Friday, January 8, 2021, in Orange County, California, after a
long battle with multiple health issues and ultimately acute renal failure
taking his life.
He grew up in a
military household which brought him to many ends of the world as a child. As a
young man, he ventured in numerous professions, looking for his calling in life
(which he ultimately found.)
As an adult he lived
life to the fullest. He had a long career in the real estate/financial
industries that introduced him to many people throughout the years, creating
endless relationships along the way. He loved sharing his knowledge and
expertise with all those around him.
Over the years he
enjoyed many things; time with his family, golfing with friends,
sunbathing (or as Travis would say, sun burning), sharing stories, camping, and
most definitely Taco Tuesday's (one of his favorites).
Tom was someone that
could light up a room with his laugh, smile and endless energy. He readily made
friends and truly loved life. Tom was such a gregarious and outgoing human that
we all wish came so easily. Tom would want to say Thank You to each of you for
being part of his journey in life.
In his last few years
his grandpups lit up his life. He couldn't wait to give them never-ending
treats.
He is survived by his
daughter Tiffany Jenkins and her husband Tracy and their two Bernedoodles Maui
and Moana and his son Travis Oldefendt with his French Bulldog, Radar; along
with his brothers, John Oldefendt and Karl Oldefendt and their families.
In lieu of flowers
please send donations to: Donate Life or American Legion in his memory.
Due to Covid, we will be doing a Celebration of Life at a later date

Rafael Botello
March 8, 1975 - January 7, 2021
Rafael Botello was a father, brother, son, and
cousin. He never gave up on anyone no matter the situation. He was always there
to lend a hand no matter how well he knew a person. He was a family person. He
would do whatever it took to make his family happy. That’s all he wanted for
his family to be happy and succeed. He worked so hard for his home. If anyone
knew him well they would know that he loved to have barbecues with family over
and kids in the pool. This is what truly made him happy. He would always tell
anyone “Why don’t you guys go in the pool? We can barque hot dogs and
hamburgers.” That was always his plan when family came over. He was a happy man
who always joked around especially with his sisters and brother. He loved his
wife so much. Their bond was unbreakable. No one understood their relationship,
but they did. That’s all that matters. They raised four amazing children who
are stubborn. They sure do love them and always will.
Rafael tested positive for COVID-19 in December along with his whole family. He
was admitted to the hospital December 26. He fought for his family for his
life, but it was his time to rest. He passed away January 7, 2021 with the
comfort of his daughter. He will never be forgotten. He will always be missed.
