The Bakersfield Californian 
Emma Hibbert
January 18, 1916 - April 9, 2005

Services: Sat., April 23, 10 a.m. 

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2005, 10:00 a.m., at 
the Activity Center of Brookside Senior Apartments, 2605 Brookside Drive for 
longtime resident Emma Christina Schnaidt Levi Hibbert, who passed away April 
9, 2005.

Emma was born January 18, 1916, in Leader, Sask. Canada to Jacob and Rosina 
Schnaidt, but lived most of her younger life in Shafter, CA where many of her 
fellow Germans from Russia settled. She graduated with the Shafter High School 
Class of 34 where she met and married LeRoy L. Levi. Together they raised 
their three children, Gary, Robert and Susan while running a mom and pop 
grocery store/tavern in Bakersfield. Later, she married Joseph Hibbert whom 
she met while working at the Kern County Probation office from which she 
ultimately retired.

Her retirement years were full of activities as a Pink Lady at Memorial 
Hospital, volunteering where needed at the Heart Association and the Red 
Cross, serving as a librarian at Harris School; or her favorite pastime, 
babysitting. Her true loves were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 
Those left to love and honor her are her daughter and son-in-law, Susan and 
Michael Berry; daughter-in-law, Sherry Levi; grandchildren, Gregory J. Levi, 
Kristen A. Levi Tremewan, and Michael J. Berry; and great-grandchildren who 
were the light of her life, Kate, Jacob, Kelsey and John Tremewan and James, 
Lauren and Gary Levi. Emma was preceded in death by her husbands, LeRoy L. 
Levi, and Joseph Hibbert and her two sons, Gary L. Levi and Robert D. Levi.

Emma was much admired at Brookside where she always had a ready smile and 
enjoyed serving as the resident librarian or joining in a game of cards. She 
often remarked about how happy she was at Brookside and the many wonderful 
friends she had made.

Keeping herself mentally and physically fit occupied much of her time and she 
considered a positive attitude, a smile, Bible study, playing cards, crossword 
puzzles, reading, and daily walks all part of her job to accomplish her goals. 
Being independent was important to her.

To our wonderful Mom, Grandma, G.G. and friend, you were an inspiration to us
and will be deeply missed.
