The Bakersfield Californian 
Maline Warner Rappleye
Nov. 27, 1913 - Nov. 27, 2004

Maline was born in Holden, Utah to Bertha and Russell Warner. She died in 
Bakersfield on Saturday on her 91st birthday. 

In 1935, she traveled to Los Angeles, CA to marry Fred Rappleye in a double 
wedding ceremony along with his brother, Vel and bride, Pat. The couple 
resided in North Hollywood for 15 years raising their three children. Maline 
was a homemaker and active in school and church activities while Fred worked 
as an electrician. During World War II, she served as a neighborhood air raid 
warden. In 1950, they moved their family to Bakersfield and began playing 
golf. They played a number of years at Kern River before joining Rio Bravo 
Country Club. Maline was active in the womens group and enjoyed playing 
several days a week with friends and family. She had the distinction of having 
played in the Kern County Womens Amateur Golf Tournament for 43 consecutive 
years. Maline had the reputation of being a masterful seamstress. She was 
accomplished at making tailored suits, party formals, draperies, etc. She made 
all of her daughters clothing and most of her own. Being crafty, she created 
many of her own gifts. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-Day Saints and remained active in her church, holding several offices 
in the womens organizations prior to her illness. 

Maline was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Fred. She is survived 
by her daughters, Sandra Rees Sloss and her husband, Rick, Larraine Hatcher

also leaves one sister, Nina Black of Kanosh, Utah; brother-in-law, Melvin and 
his wife, Ruth of Las Vegas, Nevada; sister-in-law, Oleta Rappleye of

The family would like to thank the staff at Glenwood Gardens Skilled Nursing
