Brenda Joyce Qualls was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and devoted Christian. She left this world on June 13, 2022 at the age of 71.
She was born to Kermett and Nadean Wheeler on October 15, 1950 in Arbyrd, Missouri. She moved with her family to Lodi, California in 1952. After graduating from Lodi High School in 1969, she met the love of her life, Roland Qualls. They were married for 52 years. Together they had one child, Shirley. Brenda was a proud Grammie to her two grandchildren, Miranda and Joseph and loving mother-in-law to Don. She was preceded in death by her brothers Kermett and Cecil, sister Patricia, mother Nadean, and father Kermett Sr.
Nothing was more delightful to Brenda than spending time with her family and fur babies. One of her greatest joys was being able to retire from the professional service industry to provide child care for her grandchildren. She spent countless hours playing with them, helping them with schoolwork, and providing them with numerous life lessons and opportunities. She enjoyed many camping, boating, and fishing trips during her life and was a fierce competitor at family game nights. She was an avid reader, a lover of musicals and classic movies, and always rooted for the underdog. Brenda took a genuine interest in the lives of others. She thoroughly enjoyed learning about their lives, and she offered support in any way she could. She never missed an opportunity to show her support for those she loved with a warm hug, a kind word, a listening ear, or a beautiful smile.

Howard C. Wells, Sr. of Stockton, California passed away on Tuesday, May 31, 2022. He was born in Groveton, Texas on June 9, 1928. He was a dedicated Man of God who knew the Bible front to back. There is no doubt, Howard is in Heaven.
In 1942, Howard moved to California with his parents, Howard Harvey and Katie Bell Wells. His parents were farmers. Howard was the third oldest of twelve children. He was often responsible for his younger siblings. He worked one summer just to buy his first bicycle. He was proud to have been a golf caddy at Stockton Golf and Country Club. It was 5 miles one-way from home to the golf course on his new bike.
Howard is preceded in death by his parents, nine siblings, his wife of 56 years, Mary (1948 - 2005). daughter Tierena Johnson of Stockton, son Timothy Wells of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and his second wife, Evelyn Looney of French Camp. Howard and Evelyn were married eleven years, 2009 - 2021.
Having outlived two wives, he focused on watching TV Westerns. His favorite actor was John Wayne. He knew the story lines and the movie title before the credits even started!!
Howard is survived by his sister, Betty Yount of Austin, Texas and his brother Jack Wells of Fresno, California. He is also survived by his son Howard, Jr. (Arletta) of Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho; daughter Vickie (Bruce) of Stockton; grandsons Kristopher and Morgan Johnson; Britt, Jason and Daniel Wells; granddaughter Michelle Fowler; great-grandchildren include Makaila, Jean, Little Howard and Franklin Johnson.
In 1986, Howard retired from the lumber industry. He worked 40 years at the Stockton Box Factory also known as American Forest Products and Bendix Corporation in Stockton. After Mary passed away, Howard remained active in church as an usher, a member of the prayer circle and worked on his farm and orchard.
At the age of 79, Howard married Evelyn Looney on March 28, 2009. The newlyweds were members of Community Bible Church in French Camp. Howard’s and Evelyn’s family included those mentioned above and Evelyn’s daughter, Yvonne Weldon (Tom) of Tracy, California, son Larry Looney of Weiser, Idaho, granddaughters Jennifer Looney of French Camp and Roxy Looney of Stockton, great-grandaughter, Evie Looney and great-grandson, Mordecai.
Howard enjoyed visiting with his extended family. Many considered Howard as their Dad, Grandpa & Popa!
In March 2021, Howard moved from his beloved farm and orchard into Vickie and Bruce’s home in Stockton. Two of his three dogs moved with him. With Howard gone, the Wells Family will never be the same. However, knowing Howard is in Heaven makes his passing a bit easier!
