    Jane  Tolmach, a community activist and the first woman to serve as mayor of Oxnard, has died. Tolmach, 93, died Sunday August 23, 2015 at her home in the city, family members said.

    She was the first woman elected to the Oxnard City Council in 1970, becoming mayor in 1973 and 1974, and a well-known figure in Democratic Party politics. She was a leader who stood up for up the common man, officials and friends said.

    Ms. Tolmach continued to stay very active in the community and state politics, frequently appearing at many events.  She remained concerned about the state and local government,as well as social and environment  justice. Her dedication will be surely missed.
