William Slikker 
IN LOVING MEMORY 
1915 - 2005 

William (Bill) Slikker was born in Guernsey, CA, on November 29, 1915, and 
passed away in Bakersfield on July 6, 2005. He is survived by his beloved 
wife, Hazel Slikker; three children, Diane Barr, Cheri Marchaunt, and William 
Slikker Jr.; by seven grandchildren, Coleen Kapral, Will Barr, Matt Benton, 
Tyler Barr, Jessica Light, Richard (Woody) Barr, Suzy Bright, Anna Slikker and 
William Slikker III; as well as 13 great-grandchildren. Visitation for Bill 
Slikker will be on Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Hillcrest 
Memorial Park and Funeral Home located at 9101 Kern Canyon Rd., Bakersfield, 
CA. The funeral services will be held in the Hillcrest Funeral Home Chapel on 
Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. with a reception following. Bill Slikker was very 
active in the Greenacres community, working for a local oil refinery for 
thirty five years. He served on the board of directors for the fledgling 
Vaughn Water Company and participated in the improvement of the local school 
system. He and his wife Hazel owned and developed residential and commercial 
property in Greenacres, earning the privilege of having a street named in 
their honor. Bill was a gracious host who had many gatherings of relatives and 
friends over the years at their home on Calloway Drive. He was also a long-
time member of the Bakersfield Elks Club. He and Hazel enjoyed dancing to the 
Big Band sounds that reverberated from the Elks Club in the evening hours. 
Bill was an incredibly loving husband; he and his wife Hazel recently 
celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in March. They shared a love for 
family, friends, and hard work and especially enjoyed their travels around the 
globe. Bill was a loving father, grandfather and great grandfather whose sense 
of responsibility and compassion was unparalleled. In lieu of flowers, 
donations made may be made to the charity of your choice.
