17th Street, on Friday, June 8, 2007, at 11:00 a.m., for Hortense 
Nobles. Private family interment will be at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 
3700 River Blvd. Mrs. Nobles was born to Kate and Homer Evetts in 
Weeks, Arkansas on February 28, 1914. Hortense was a graduate of 
Panhandle A+M and Southwestern State Teachers College in Oklahoma. 
She taught elementary school for 11 years in Oklahoma. During that 
time she was honored as Outstanding Teacher of Washita County, 
Oklahoma. She married Ray, her childhood friend and sweetheart in 
1940. Ray and Hortense continued to teach in Oklahoma until WWII. 
After the war they moved to Bakersfield where Hortense taught 30 
years with Panama and Lakeside Union School Districts. Hortense gave 
her heart to Jesus as a youth. When Ray and Hortense moved to 
Bakersfield they became active members of the First Presbyterian 
Church. She was an avid reader and enjoyed crafts, cooking and 
serving others. We will always remember her prayers, her devotion to 
the Lord, and her dedication to family and friends. She will be 
greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ray; 
brothers, Erick, Harold, George and twin brother, Hoke. She is 
survived by her daughters, Marilyn Nobles of Columbia, MD, Paula 
Crissman and husband, Paul of Bakersfield and Alysia Newmark and 
husband, Gary of Clovis, CA; grandchildren, Robb Walt of Denver, CO, 
Melissa Jensen and husband, Brian of San Jose, CA, Sarah and Chris 
Newmark of Clovis, CA. Special thanks to the caring staff of Glenwood 
Gardens SNF and Optimal Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations in

Presbyterian Church, Bakersfield, CA. Visitation will begin Thursday, 
June 7, from 2-8:00 p.m., at Greenlawn Memorial Chapel.
