Florence Smart
On the evening of September 27th, 2015, Florence passed away peacefully in the loving embrace of her daughter and son and their spouses on the night of a rare Supermoon. Florence "Nana" was 96 years young.Florence Martha Stanislawski was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 28th, 1919. Florence was preceded in death by her husband Harold Smart, her brothers Franklin Stanley and Russell Stanley, her sister Bernice Watson and her son Steven Smart. She is survived by her daughter Susan Smart Kossack (Tom) of Elk Grove, her son Stuart Smart (Robin) of Danville, her grandchildren Catherine and Chris Kossack, and Ryan, Nicole and Parker Smart, her many loving nieces and nephews and her constant canine companion Rusty.
Florence grew up on a farm in Minnesota with her brothers and sister, loved the outdoors and was quite athletic, light and fast as the wind. She was very proud to earn her HS school letter in track. She loved to play baseball and taught her children to love and play the game too. Flo, a lifelong fan of the SF Giants, attended many games with her son, Steve, as a Giants booster.
After graduating from business school, steno and typing, Flo drove across country in 1941 with her sister to find work in Burbank as a typist. She could spell anything and was better than spell-check. She trained in the volunteer Civil Air Patrol in So Cal during WWII and enjoyed flying Piper Cubs up and down the coast doing 360's! She was an avid horseback rider in the Hollywood Hills with her steed Mack. Flo met the love of her life, Harold Smart, at a USO dance in 1941 (she loved to dance!) and they married after he returned from the war in 1945.
Flo loved her family more than anything else and always remembered everyone's birthday. A farm girl at heart, she had the greenest thumb ever and could grow anything. She moved to Sacramento in 1962 and worked for the DMV as a nymatic transcriber for many years. Flo survived bouts with cancer several times and lived an incredible 96 years with joy and love in her heart every day. Flo had a very funny sense of humor and shared her light heart with everyone she knew. She was the kindest, hardest working and strongest person and her family was blessed to have had her in their lives for so many years. She was proud to have five beautiful grand children who she loved very much. Florence was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
Flo's family gives special thanks for the tender loving care and support of Maria Moncada, her Stanley nieces Janet, Carol and Terri, her nephew Bill and family friends Karen Provencher and Karen Kawelmacher. The family is also grateful to the many Kaiser doctors, nurses, staff and Hospice Team who cared for her especially her nurses Celeste and Linda.
SERVICES A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Nov. 14th at 11:00 am at St Peter's Lutheran Church in Elk Grove, reception immediately following at her daughter's home.

Kapriel "Kappy" Nahigian
Kapriel “Kappy” Nahigian was born November 25th, 1921, in Exeter, California, near Visalia. The oldest of six siblings, Kappy had 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Two years later, Kappy’s family moved to Fowler, California, near Fresno, where his family farmed a grape vineyard for raisins.
In 1942, at the age of 21 years, Kappy was drafted into the United States Army and completed his training at Camp Roberts near San Luis Obispo. Later he was transferred to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and then Hawaii. He served in the Pacific as a rifleman until 1945 when he was honorably discharged as a Private First Class.
After his service in the War, Kappy began working for his uncle, in Modesto, as a busboy, then waiter. He learned from his uncle and the chefs, and eventually decided to open his own restaurant. When his brother came back from the war, they opened their first restaurant, El Tehran, in Stockton, in 1948. And operated it for seventeen years.
Kappy met his wife, Lora, as a customer in the El Tehran, and married her on June 3, 1951. They lived happily through 58 years of marriage, and enjoyed traveling on many trips together, before Lora passed away in 2009. They had 2 daughters Judi and Lori, both of Lodi, and had a son, Stephen (deceased), who was a renowned oral surgeon in Southern California.
Eventually, Kappy opened his own business, Kappy’s Coffee Shop, in 1965. After 18 years, Kappy sold his restaurant and again joined with his brother Carl at Carl’s Truckstop in Stockton. Kappy was famous for his homemade pies and enjoyed making dozens of them that he delivered to his friends around the holidays.
Kappy’s favorite pastimes were watching sports on TV and knowing every team and most players’ statistics. Mostly, he enjoyed watching and following his grandson Michael Rishwain’s baseball career from little league into college. Also, he greatly enjoyed his Saturday morning donut friends, his monthly breakfast with his workout group, and his many lunches with buddies. Perhaps his favorite of all were his many trips to the casinos with his loving daughter Judi.
In his later years Kappy moved to Lodi to be near his daughters who were a huge part of his daily life, to the very end.
To quote his daughters, “Kappy was the sweetest man in the world and would do anything for anyone”.
Kappy was preceded in death by loving wife of 58 years Lora Nahigian, son Dr. Stephen Nahigian, grandson Marc C. Rishwain, and many siblings. He leaves behind his two daughters Lori Rishwain (Ben) and Judi Nahigian, grandchildren: Michael Rishwain, Candace, Vanessa and Rex Nahigian, Ben and Nick Rishwain, daughter in law Pat Nahigian and many friends. Kappy will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Memorial contributions may be made in Kappy’s name to Disabled American Veterans, PO Box 14301, Cincinnati, OH 45250-0301.
