Jenks T. Presley, Sr.

Services:  Fri., Apr. 2, 1:30 p.m.

Services will be held Friday, April 2, 2004, at 1:30 p.m., in 
Greenlawn Memorial Chapel, 3700 River Blvd., for Jenks T. Presley, 
Sr., 84, of Bakersfield, who passed away March 30, 2004, in a 
Bakersfield hospital.  Entombment will follow in Greenlawn Memorial 
Park.

Mr. Presley was born April 5, 1919, in Foss, Oklahoma, to C. D. and 
Kate Presley.  He grew up in Texas and New Mexico and moved to 
Bakersfield in 1935 to live with his mother.  He owned several 
restaurants in Bakersfield before he started selling cars.  He then 
went to work for Aram Adams Pontiac until Adam's death, and continued 
with the company when John Barber took over the dealership.  The rest 
of his working years were spent with John Barber Pontiac and Gene 
Winer Cadillac.

He was a charter member of the Bakersfield Country Club, a 56-year 
member of the Elks' Lodge, had been a member for over 50 years of 
Libertas Security Lodge #466 F.&A.M., and was a member of the Shrine 
Club.  He was most proud of his military service, having been a 
member of the Third Infantry Division, during which time he was 
injured several times while serving in Sicily and North Africa.

Survivors include his wife, Alice J. Presley; son, Jenks T. Presley, 
Jr. and his wife, Joany; grandson J. T. Presley III; and other 
grandsons, Jeffrey, Matthew, Jason and Robin.

Mr. Presley received excellent care at Memorial Hospital during his 
six week stay there.  His family would like to extend a special thank 
you to Dr. Tommy Lee, Dr. Romain Clerou, Dr. Nick Hansa, Dr. Ellis of 
E.R. and Dr. Joseph Rabban.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the 
American Cancer Society or to your favorite church.

Visitation will begin Thursday at 12:00 noon at Greenlawn Mortuary.
