Marie Slikker Anderson was born on January 22, 1917, in Guernsey, CA, to 
Cornelius and Elizabeth (DeGeus) Slikker. She was raised on a dairy farm in 
Tulare and moved with her family to Bakersfield in 1934. In 1935 she graduated 
from Bakersfield High School. She worked at J.J. Newberrys until she married 
Meryl E. Anderson from McFarland in 1941 and moved to the family farm on Pond 
Road. Marie resided there until 1999 when a fire destroyed the family home. 
She then retired to Rosewood Retirement Community in Bakersfield.

Marie was always involved with her children: PTA, Jobs Daughters, 4-H. She was 
also active in the McFarland Womens Club, Delano Hospital Pink Ladies, Delano 
First United Methodist Church and the Pinochle Pot-Luck group. She will be 
remembered for her sewing, knitting, crocheting and her luscious lemon 
meringue pies.

Marie loved playing cards but she especially enjoyed her Bridge club groups in 
McFarland and Delano and in later years at Rosewood.

Dont grieve for me, for now Im free.

good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
