On June 28, 1929, Kathleen Hale was born to proud parents Mary Etta Brooks and Harland Tomlin in Bakersfield, California.
A long-standing member of the 31st Street Seventh-Day Adventist Church in San Diego, CA, Kathleen was well-loved by all. Kathleen always made time for everyone. She always provided support and love for her family.
In her senior years, Kathleen had the opportunity to become a world traveler and developed lasting friendships in foreign lands. Kathleen was the mother of three children. However, many people considered Kathleen their surrogate mother and grandmother (lovingly called “Gram”).
On January 30, 2023, Kathleen Hale passed away peacefully at age ninety-three after a brief illness. She was surrounded by her loved ones at the time of her passing.
Kathleen was preceded in death by husband Lloyd R.V. Hale of sixty-three years; and brothers William Tomlin and Clarence Tomlin of Bakersfield, CA.
Kathleen is survived by her daughter Eleanor (Hale) Hicks; son-in-law Hobert Hicks; sons Michael Hale, and Bradford Hale; daughter-in-law Melba Hale; grandchildren Tamiko McKenzie, Dacus Hale, Mikaele Epati-Hale, Shukura Hicks-Robinson, Shani Hicks, Demonray Hale, Deanna Hale; and a host of great-grands, nieces, and nephews.
