Gayle Marie Knackstedt 
Feb. 2, 1927 - Aug. 16, 2005 

Gayle went home to be with the Lord on August 16th after a short illness of 
cancer. She was born February 2, 1927, in Oakdale, Nebraska. Shortly 
thereafter she moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas where she attended grade school 
and high school. After WWII, she married her husband, Leslie Jean Knackstedt. 
They were married for 59 years. They moved to Bakersfield in 1954 and remained 
there for 30 years until their retirement to Rogers in 1986. Gayle worked at 
Montgomery Wards for 20 years, but her prime responsibility was to her husband 
and two children. Gayle was a member of First Christian Church, until moving 
to Rogers, where she transferred her membership to the First Christian Church 
there. She also was a member of Eastern Stars and recently received her 50-
year membership pin. Gayle was an extremely kind and loving woman. She loved 
to cook. Her family will always remember her wonderful homemade pies and 
dinner rolls. Gayle is survived by her husband, Leslie of Rogers, Arkansas; 
her son, Gary and his wife, Christine of Stockton, CA; and her daughter, Karen 
Davis and her husband, Larry of Bakersfield, CA. She also is survived by 11 
grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 
First Christian Church in Rogers, Arkansas, on August 29, 2005. Donations in 
her memory may be made to the American Cancer Society or Christ Church of the 
Valley in Bakersfield, CA.
