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.

Dear Rachel and David, We were so sad to read about your Mom. Last time I saw her she said she was feeling better, but that was quiet awhile ago. We are thinking of you and praying for your encouragement. I am out of town this week, but will come see you after I'm home. Judi and Duff ( on the corner) ❤

I worked with Tomi at Security Pacific National Bank (1978-1979) and always enjoyed her friendship. May God comfort her family as He receives her into His arms.

I had the pleasure of working with your mom when we were both Registrars. She was smart and funny and a real kick in the pants. You kids were her pride and joy. Her face never lit up as much as when she talked about you. You made her so proud and happy! I will always remember her kind heart and big smile. Please accept my deepest condolences. Sue Atterberry

My memories of one of the most beautiful woman I've ever met, Tommi Hudman.

We were both experiencing similar situations, and we gravitated towards each other. Our children who were of the same age, enjoying each other so well. I loved those moments.

We both enjoyed talking about our children and how happy they made us. We made plans to go places with them and we had a lot of fun.

What a wonderful woman you were. God bless you for instilling the same wonderful you in Rachel, and in me for that matter. I will never forget you. And this has nothing to do with your awesome baking. :/ You are true indeed!

Love you all and miss you my great friend so much! Thank you for being an inspiration in my life as I tried hard to do the same for you.

Love,

Teacher Cheryl

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Tomi.
Tomi and her daughter Rachel were involved in Girl Scouts when my daughter and I were . She was kind, helpful, always had a beautiful smile and generous with her time in regards to any project we all worked on. Tomi's love for her children was obvious and easily shown in her everyday living.
Love and prayers to her family,
Rhonda & Summer Ramsey
