McAlister, Winnie Ruth     
*1959 - 2005 
(*incorrect birth year)
 
Winnie Ruth McAlister 
Services: Wed., Dec. 28, 3:00 p.m. 

On December 22, 2005, after a long illness Winnie went peacefully to her Lord 
and Savior Jesus Christ. Winnie was the second oldest of six children. She 
grew up in Oildale and used to love telling stories about the old days. 
Crawdad fishing, burlap dresses and toys made of string and sticks. She 
graduated from North High School in 1959. In 1961 she married her husband, Ed 
and 16 months later in 1962 they had their son, Lee. Seventeen years later by 
surprise they had their daughter, Sarah and the family was complete. Winnie 
spent her child rearing years working full-time off and on and being the best 
wife and mother anyone could ask for. In 2004 she was blessed with her first 
grandchild. She considered it to be her new job to love and spoil her 
accordingly so she did. Winnie was a kind and generous person with a heart 
full of love. Always quick to lend a hand. She always had a smile, even when 
times were hard. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is preceded in 
death by her parents, Yeaman and Ruth Smith; brother, Ernie Smith and sister, 
Marilyn Hurst. She is survived by her husband, Ed McAlister; son, Lee 
McAlister; daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Mike Peckham; granddaughter, 
Ashelynn Peckham; brother, David and wife, Linda Smith, all of Bakersfield; 
brother, Gary and wife, Connie Smith of Wasilla, AK; brother, Kenny and wife, 
Tana of NV; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, her aunt, Tilly Creech, and her 
friends. The family would like to thank KCFD Highland Station, Hall Ambulance 
and especially the staff at Californian Care for their professionalism and 
kindness. Services are scheduled for Wednesday, December 28, 2005, at Mission 
Family Mortuary, 531 California Ave., at 3:00 p.m.
