The Bakersfield Californian 
Ezell, Meredith Kay "Merry"     
1940 - 2005 
 
Meredith Kay Ezell (Merry Kay)
June 6, 1940 - Dec. 15, 2005


Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, at 11am at 
Calvary Chapel Westbrook, with Graveside service to follow at Hillcrest 
Memorial Park. Merry Kay was born on June 6, 1940, to Benjamin (Mike) and 
Maxyne Mason in Bakersfield, where she resided nearly her entire life. She was 
preceded in death by both Mike and Maxyne. Merry Kay is survived by her 
daughter Kem Swan and fiancée Van Thurman; son Vance Ezell and fiancée Rebecca 
Hale; her sister Lenore Madden and husband Tom; brother Edward Mason; and 
grandchildren Zachary Swan, Jansen Swan, Carson Ezell and Chancellor Ezell, 
plus numerous other family members and dear friends. Merry Kay worked in the 
Counseling Department at Bakersfield College for 37 years, which culminated 
with her being awarded "Classified Employee of the Year" in 2000. The true 
passion in her professional life, however, was her affiliation with the 
California School Employees Association (CSEA). She poured countless hours and 
devotion into CSEA. After being named a Regional Representative, she was 
eventually voted into the position of State Director for Area D, where she 
served until her retirement. After retirement from Bakersfield College in 
2002, she became the Director of the Retirement Chapter of CSEA, an office she 
held until her death. Merry Kay poured her heart and soul into everything she 
undertook, be it political involvement, her work with CSEA or just making sure 
her family and friends were taken care of. People were in awe of her boundless 
enthusiasm and her ceaseless energy. Of everything in Merry Kay's wonderful 
life, though, her grandchildren were always the brightest light in her world. 
And she made sure they and everyone knew it. She will be greatly missed by all 
who knew her. Pallbearers will be nephews Derek and Adam Schweitzer, and Rick 
Morel, Alan Johnson, Scott King and Ron Settle.
