The Bakersfield Californian 
Ralph Lewis Green
Services: Mon., Sept. 13, 10 a.m.

Ralph Lewis Green of Bakersfield, California, was called home by his loving 
Savior on September 10, 2004. 

Ralph was born in Los Angeles, California on April 6, 1927 to Lester and Lucy 
Green. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and married 
Frances Iona Alderson on November 10, 1951. Ralph and Frances lived in 
Southern California until their move to Tulare in 1963, and he worked for the 
Southern California Gas Company for almost 38 years before his retirement on 
May 1, 1989. Ralph took a leave of absence from the Gas Company to attend 
Christ for the Nations Seminary in the mid-1980s and received his degree in 
Theology.

Ralph is preceded in death by his parents, and his brother, Gershom Green. He 
is survived by his loving wife, Frances; and daughters, Kathy Smith and 
husband, Gary; Karen Capehart and husband, Mark; grandchildren, Matthew Smith, 
Jonathan Capehart, Megan Smith Tabangcora, Sara Capehart and Michael Smith. He 
is also survived by his two great-granddaughters, Madison and Kayla Smith.

Ralph loved to worship the Lord and was very active in the First Baptist 
Church, Bethel Assembly of God and Full Gospel Business Mens Association in 
Tulare. After their move to Bakersfield in August of 1989, he considered his 
church home Laurelglen Bible Church and also enjoyed the fellowship at Christ 
Cathedral. Ralph and Frances were active as volunteers for Bakersfield Family 
Medical Center and Heritage Physician Network.

Ralph was a true man of God, full of compassion, with a wonderful sense of 
humor. He was patient and kind, and able to make a friend of anyone. He will 
be greatly missed in this world, but we know he is rejoicing with his Lord 
now. One of his favorite Bible verses is found in Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in 
the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Memorial services will be held on Monday, September 13, at 10:00 a.m., at 
Autumn Oaks Funeral Home, 4030 Wible Road in Bakersfield.
