Services: Sat., Oct. 22, 12:00 p.m. 


Graveside services will be held at noon Saturday, October 22, at Hillcrest 
Memorial Park for Rosalie May. She passed away on October 18, due to 
complications of Alzheimers disease. Rosalie was born to Peter and Therese 
Bauer on April 6, 1918 in Brinkstown, Missouri. She spent her youth in Marys 
Home, Missouri and then moved to Wasco. She met her husband, Kenneth May, 
while working in Wasco. As a young bride, she lived in company housing at the 
Shell pumping station outside of Wasco. While there, she gave birth to twins, 
Sherman and Sharon. While living there, she quickly learned the skill of 
killing rattlesnakes, which there were many, with a hoe to protect her 
children. She was married to Ken for over 50 years. Upon her children's 
graduation from Wasco High in 1957, the family moved to Bakersfield to be 
closer to her husbands business. She worked as an office manager for Kens 
accounting business, Individual Tax Records. She held various jobs prior to 
the office manager position including over 15 years at Wasco Elementary School 
cafeteria, the school that her children attended. The family thanks the ladies 
at Trinity and Alternative Care for the exceptional care they gave our mother 
during her stay with them. Also her dear niece, Lorraine Laughlin, for the 
visits and support she gave our mother. Rosalies special joys in life were her 
children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. They gave her much happiness 
and many smiles. Rosalie is survived by her daughter, Sharon and husband, 
Larry Leff of Bakersfield; son, Sherman and wife, Carol May of Alameda; 
grandchildren, Andrew May and fiancée, Christel Bickford, Victoria and 
husband, Marko De Santis, Curtis May, Butch and wife, Lisa McDonnell, great-
grandchildren, Amanda McDonnell, Matthew McDonnell, and London De Santis. Her 
husband, Kenneth preceded her in death. Also preceding her were her sisters, 
Lucille Fachin, Regina Streiff, Katherine Busch, and Elizabeth Schulte and 
brothers, Lawrence and George Bauer. In lieu of flowers, the family requests 
that donation be made in her name to the Alzheimers Association.
