LAKEPORT, Calif. – Born Aug. 10, 1954, in Lakeport, passed away July 7, 2018.
Mario is survived by his mother, Beverly John; his wife and best friend of 23 years, Lyann Williams; sons, Lindsay Williams, Anthony Williams, Curtis Williams, Hunter Williams, Connor Williams and Donovan Williams; daughters, Savannah Williams, Fiona Williams, Verna Thomas and Sacheen Williams; sister, Jackie John; eight grandchildren, Quinn Williams, Eli Williams, Aries Rios, William Buford, Dayami Buford, Angelina Thomas, Mayson Williams and Isaac “Mr. Cheeks” Williams.
Mario is preceded in death by his father, Curtis John; brothers, Craig John and Dominic John.
Mario graduated from Clearlake High School in 1972, where he excelled in both baseball and football. Mario received a scholarship to Humboldt State University, where he continued to be a force to be reckoned with on the football field.
After Humboldt State, Mario decided on a different path, so he took off to a Chicago trade of ironwork. Mario has done it all. From building parking garages, drilling for oil and general construction.
Most importantly there wasn’t ever a time where Mario wouldn’t spark up a conversation with someone he knew around town, or anyone else he met on any given day.
Mario had a great energy for life. He was always helping anyone he could offer help to. He was a people pleaser, but he especially loved keeping his wife happy. In fact, it is said that his favorite words were, “Yes, sweetheart. You’re right.” He enjoyed his time with friends and family most and what a large family he has!
Mario will be forever missed and never forgotten, especially by Lyann. She was his star and he her light. Just as she said to Mario every night, Lyann wants to once again say, “Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep tight.”
Traditional Native American visitation for Mario will be held at Big Valley Gymnasium 1002 Osprey Court in Lakeport starting on Monday, July 16, at 11 a.m. and ending on Thursday, July 19, at 11 a.m.
Arrangements by Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary, 707-263-0357 or 707-994-5611, or visit www.chapelofthelakes.com.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Beulah Mae Wilder passed away peacefully at home the morning of July 5, 2018, allowing those who knew her to be blessed with her presence for 96 years.
Always opening her kind heart, and home welcoming all; and freely sharing her culinary skills, along with knowledge and southern hospitality.
Beulah loved spending time with her family; enjoying her trips to the local casinos; continuing the occasional weekend Reno tradition established by her husband “Ike,” who preceded her in death.
Their loving relationship resulted in eight children, primarily raised in Oakland, Calif. They loved spending family time; whether at home, enjoying the outdoors camping, fishing or even going on Sunday picnics.
Visiting and hosting family was extremely important to her. When life slowed down, she enjoyed sitting watching and listening to all current events going on around her, especially in her community of Clearlake, which has been her home for 49 years.
Beulah was preceded in death by her husband, Isaac; sons, Sidney and John Isaac. And leaves to celebrate her life a sister, Mary Dyer; her sons, Cornell and Ricky; daughters, Rose, Barbara, Sheila (husband James) and Frances (husband Claudius); and 10 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Services for her homegoing will be on Friday, July 13, at Jones and Lewis Clearlake Memorial Chapel in Lower Lake at 2 p.m.
