The Bakersfield Californian 
Caroline Fay Huckaby
July 22, 1942 October 24, 2004

Services: Fri., Oct. 29, 10 a.m. 

Caroline passed away on October 24, 2004, after a short battle with cancer. 
Her husband and daughters were with her when she went to be with the Lord.

She was born in Bakersfield, California, as Caroline Blake, where she lived 
most of her life. She married Kenneth Ray Huckaby on September 1, 1959 at the 
age of seventeen. Caroline and Ken made a beautiful home together and lovingly 
raised two daughters.

Caroline made her career as a school bus driver trainer. She drove a school 
bus for many years and became well known and respected all over Kern County as 
an excellent bus driver trainer. She worked for the Kern County Superintendent 
of Schools until her retirement in 1997.

She is preceded in death by her father, Nelson Blake, her father-in-law, Cecil 
Huckaby, and her mother-in-law, Thelma Huckaby, all of Bakersfield. Her mother 
and stepfather, Edith and Tony Ciarrone of Winton, California survive her 
along with her stepmother, Jackie Blake of Bakersfield.

Caroline leaves behind her loving husband of 45 years, Kenneth Huckaby, and 
her two daughters and their husbands, Kennie and Alan Pounds and Toni and 
Vince Smith. She was extremely close to and loved by her six grandchildren, 
Jason Crafton, Sunny Crafton, Amylia Pounds, Sandra Bertrand, Shawna Smith, 
and Chanie Smith and one great-grandchild, Makayla Bertrand. She is also 
survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Winnie Mae and John Pombo; sisters, 
Kelly Blake and Sonja Blake; and brothers, Hubert Blake and Greg Blake.

She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. 
She will always be remembered for her impeccable style and grace. She was as 
beautiful inside as she was outside and because of that she will be deeply 
missed by all that knew her.

A funeral service to celebrate her life will be held on Friday, October 29, 
2004, 10:00 a.m., at Hillcrest Memorial Park. Her cousin, Pastor Dennie Watson 
will officiate. A gathering of family and friends will take place immediately 
following the services at Valley Bible Fellowship on East Brundage Lane.

The family would like to thank the wonderful nursing staff at Optimal Hospice 
for the comfort they provided her.
