Alma was born at home in Oplin, Texas, on July 22, 1908, to William Jay and

Texas to Bakersfield when she was 9 years old. She attended Williams School, 
Washington School and Kern County Union High School before working as a 
telephone operator for American Telephone and Telegraph from 1926 1941. In 
later years she also worked in the kitchens of many of Bakersfields elementary 
schools.

Alma met Homer Sledge in Bakersfield, they married in 1929 and enjoyed 59 years 
of marriage before he passed away in 1988.

Alma loved life and loved people and was a devoted member of Eastern Star since 
1949, and served as an officer every year until 1999, then again in 2001. She 
was very proud that she had earned her 50-year pin and the Rob Morris Service 
Award. She also belonged to Ladies Oriental Shrine and volunteered for many 
years for American Cancer Societys Cancer Dressing Station. She always said it 
was her family, her organizations and her many friends that kept her going and 
contributed to her long life. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting and was 
always making things for family and friends.
