a.m. with funeral services beginning at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at 
Union Cemetery. Marie was born September 8, 1907 to homesteading farmers in 
the Oklahoma Territory. At age 97, she peacefully passed away on August 31, 
2005 in Bakersfield, California. She was the seventh of nine children. On 
October 3, 1945, she married the late I.E. (Bill) Williams and moved to 
Bakersfield where they owned and operated Williams Shoe Service at 623 
Kentucky Street until his death in 1985. They both were long-time members of 
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekabs, traveling extensively in 
California and holding various positions within those organizations at both 
the local and state levels. Marie was the President of the Ladies Auxiliary 
Post-Militant for the State of California in 1985. She was preceded in death 
by two of her children, James Maurice McMahan of Escondido and Lois McMahan 
Kelley Worsley of Bakersfield. She will be greatly missed by her daughter, 
Darlene Casey (Harlan) McMahan Ogden Crain of Bakersfield and her only 
remaining sister, Marge McGee of Hereford, Texas. Other survivors include her 
10 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 11 great-great-grandchildren; 
daughter-in-law, Betty McMahan; many nieces, nephews and other relatives and 
friends. We loved her dearly and will miss her so very much. In lieu of 
flowers, remembrances or memorials are preferred. For additional service
