The Bakersfield Californian 
Louella M. Wikoff
3/15/1921 11/23/2004

Visitation for Louella (Lou) will be held Sunday, November 28, 2004 from 10 
a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Bakersfield Family Funeral Home, 701 34th St. Services 
will be Monday, November 29, at 10 a.m. at the same address. Mike Falzarano 
from the Oildale Seventh Day Adventist Church will officiate. Interment will

Lou loved to bowl, and said she wanted to be one of the oldest to throw the 
ball. She had a green thumb, and could never throw away the clipping from a 
plant. She would start another plant. She loved her church. She worked for the 
Dorcas, at Hillcrest 7th Day Adventist Church, helping those less fortunate 
for many years. She was a member of the Oildale 7th Day Adventist Church, and 
was a greeter, with a smile for everyone who came.

Lou was born at home on Seventh Standard Rd. (Seco) to Ezra and Martha 
Schneider. They moved to Shafter when she was young. She went to Kern Academy. 
In 1937, she married Austin Wikoff.

Lou was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Harold and Ira 
Schneider. She leaves behind her husband, Austin Wikoff, of 67 years; her 
daughter and husband, Janice and Bob Long from Bakersfield; her son and wife, 
Jack and Joy Wikoff from Fontana; 5 grandchildren, Jeff and Debbie Long, Gary 
and Pam Long, Troy and Denise Long, Jason and Autumn Wikoff and Jennifer and 
Scott Buys all of Bakersfield; 11 great-grandchildren, Aaron and Amanda Long, 
Steven and Nikki Long, Jillynn and Steven Dulcich, Sarah, Amanda, Colleen, 
Trent, Jacob and Travis Long, Ashlen Wikoff and Emma Buys; 2 great-great 
grandchildren, Ethan Long and Zachariah Dulcich; brother, Vernon Schneider and 
wife, Helen of Yuma, AZ; sisters-in-law, Elsie Schneider of Shafter and Ginger 
Schneider of Gentry, AR; and many more family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request donations to Voice of 
Prophecy, Box 53055, Los Angeles, CA 90053 or Optimal Hospice, for their 
wonderful care at 4800 California Ave., 93309. Thank you to Mary Fritzer for 
being so good to mom, and Dawn for bathing her. You two are the greatest.

Mom is asleep and waiting for our Lord to Come, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, so we 
can all go home to heaven together. She will be missed by all who knew and 
loved her.
