The Bakersfield Californian 
Laila Maud Thompson
Jan. 25, 1915 - Mar. 11, 2005

Laila was born in Valley Center, Kansas to Wiley and Maud Fulkerson. The 
family moved to Southern California in 1924. During the Depression they went 
north to Chico and had a small farm. Laila graduated from Chico State 
University and went into teaching. She earned an additional degree in music 
and taught music in the Fresno area. 

In the early forties she was employed by the Bakersfield City School District 
where she taught and was a counselor for almost 40 years. Laila enjoyed 
working with young people and devoted many extra hours to putting on school 
plays and directing the Glee Club. Many of her students maintained contact 
with her through the years.

After retirement, Laila enjoyed traveling and working on her familys 
genealogy. She wrote a book on the Fulkerson family and helped track the 
backgrounds of many friends.

She is survived by her son, Nelson Thompson; daughter, Maude Taylor; 
grandchildren, John, James, Kristina, Roland and William; three great-
grandchildren and nephew, James Fulkerson of Wyoming; her special friend and 
caregiver, Joe Peralta.

At her request no services are planned. In lieu of flowers, please donate to
