Mom was a caring person who thought of others first, then herself. She was quiet but had a strong attitude towards life. We used to go hunting at Alder Creek every weekend and the summer with my dad (Johnny Rankin passed 2013) and grandma & grandpa Rankin, Aunt & Uncles, cousins. She loved watching her grandbabies play different sports or anything else they were involved in. Mom also loved going to the Bakersfield Condors hockey games. Her favorite players back in the day were Paul Rosebush and Cory Banika. Also, loved crocheting. She had just crocheted a bunch of little animals to give to the women's homeless shelter for the kids. She had worked for the Kern County Sheriff's office as a CO-Cook, GET Bus.

Mom is preceded in death by her parents Troy and Martha Jennings, Son - Johnny Richard Rankin Jr.

We will miss you but never forget you!!!
