KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Stacy Patricia Miller nee (Smith), 53, passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2019, in her home in Kelseyville, California. She joins her Mother Donna Mae Smith and her father Gerald Smith in eternal rest.

Stacy was born in Mountain View, Calif., on Dec. 4, 1965, where she grew up. She attended Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif., receiving her diploma in 1984. She held various jobs until she landed her dream job at animal hospitals as receptionist and animal whisperer.

Stacy married the love of her life Scott Miller in 1995. They lived in Fremont and San Martin. Then in 2001 they moved to Lake County, Calif., to build their dream home and wonderful lives with their fur-family of horses, kitties, and numerous doggies.

She was a kind and generous soul, always willing to help anyone in need. She loved living in the country, visiting with friends and family, floriculture design, crafting, and watching her favorite TV shows with a full Bubba-cup of Diet Pepsi. She liked shopping, shoes and purses. Amazon was her fav.

While living in Lake County, she landed her dream job working at two veterinary hospitals, whispering to every animal who crossed her path. She contributed frequently to many animal rescue groups and rescued a few herself. Her generosity spread to numerous clinic customers who could not afford medical treatment for their furbabies.

Stacy is survived by her husband of 25 years, Scott Alan Miller; her older brother, Kirt Smith of Sacramento; her Godmother, Alice Ackley Survis of Henderson, Nevada; her best friends and soul sisters, Barb Mogni aka “The Estabunny” and her husband Dave of Ferndale, California, Sandy Crandell and her husband Marc of Layton, Utah and Linda Turner and son Brian Turner of Henderson, Nevada; soul-bro, Al Ackely of Lake Las Vegas, Nevada, and numerous extended family and friends.

She will be forever remembered as a cheerful, loving and lovable person who was always ready with a smile, a laugh, a hug and encouraging words. Stacy, you are already greatly missed.

Visitation will be held at Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary on Tuesday, July 16, from 4 to 7 p.m. in Lakeport. A private graveside service will held at Ferndale Cemetery Extension in Ferndale. A celebration of life will be announced at a future date for friends and family.

Anthony 'Tony' William Trevellick
Oct. 30, 1933 - June 27, 2019

Anthony “Tony” William Trevellick was born Oct. 30, 1933, just outside of London, England.

He met Elizabeth “Betty” Currie at the Edinburgh Castle Pub in San Francisco whilst Betty was on a date. They eloped years later and married in Carson City, Nevada, in 1969.

Leaving the city behind to raise their daughters, Toni and Valerie, they bought the quaint Driftwood Resort in Lakeport, Calif., on April 1,1975. Tony was a proud longshoreman and traveled back and forth until he broke his back on the waterfront.

In 1980 Tony opened Lakeport Satellites and brought TV to hundreds in the rural areas of Lake County with giant 12 foot parabola dishes that took days to assemble and install. He enjoyed meeting locals and visiting their homes.

Tony talked fondly, still with a charming British accent, of his childhood days in London and Felixstowe. At the age of 16 he worked as a photographer and got the rare chance to capture the Queen Mother and King George VI on an outing after he had recovered from a serious illness. Tony’s photograph got picked up by the Associated Press and was published in the papers which was a big deal. He emigrated to America in 1955 with his parents after his sister married an American GI.

In 1995 Tony opened Car Finders, a used car lot in Kelseyville where he spent his days at the office or at lunch with his loyal friend and business partner Marcelo Diaz.

Most people who met Tony would say he was a self-determined, generous, charismatic, witty gentleman with a big quaking laugh and quick to blow his top. He was loved by many.

On the morning of June 27, he passed peacefully at home surrounded by memories and those who loved him.

He is survived by his daughter, Toni Trevellick, married to Colby Smart; grandchildren, Iris, Fiona and Shyam; daughter, Valerie Trevellick; and Marcelo Diaz, whom he considered a son.

Dad had this quote by John Lennon pinned to his office wall, “Everything will be OK in the end. If it’s not OK, it’s not the end.”

Memorial service at Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary will held on Saturday, July 13, at 10 a.m. for friends and family who would like to pay their respects. No flowers please but instead make a donation to Hospice Services of Lake County or a charity of choice.
