MARGARET BASTION "MARGO"
Services: Sat., Feb. 28, 11 a.m.

Margaret was born October 22, 1924, in Muldrow, Oklahoma and passed away February 25, 2004, in Bakersfield, California.

Margaret was part of a large family originating in Oklahoma where she
helped work on the family farm as a child. After moving to California,
she began her own family and resided in Bakersfield her remaining years. Last year she celebrated 50 years of marriage to her loving husband, Roger Bastion.

She was known as Nana and loved her family and friends more than anything. Hugs were her specialty and she never let anyone out the door without one. She loved visiting and playing games with her dear friends, Tom and Jeri Rose and Juanita Van Meter. She looked forward every day to watching Paula's Home Cooking and also enjoyed watching golf. In her younger years she was quite a golfer herself. She was a quick wit and a lot of fun!

When asked how she was doing, her favorite reply was "I'm young, rich and beautiful, and I lie a lot!" She had a full life and will be missed by all
who knew her.

She is survived by her loving family, husband, Roger Bastion; daughters, Trudy Sanchez and Barbara Clark; grandchildren, John Rosenberger; Tracy Roberts and husband, Melvin; Rick Rosenberger and wife, Lilly; Roger Clark, Jr. and wife, Kristen; Cacie Hollins and husband, Julian; great grandchildren, Michael, Zachary, Tricia, Nikki, Ricky, Lauren, Alexia,
Juliette, Julian, and two angels on the way; sons-in-law, Johnny
Rosenberger and Roger Clark; brothers, Robert "Pete" Underwood and wife, Jonita; Jerry Underwood and wife, Juanita; Joe Underwood and wife, Jean; sister, Rachel Raines and husband, Jimmy; her dear sister-in-law, Wanda Underwood and many nephews and nieces whom she loved dearly.

Services will be held Saturday, February 28, 11:00 a.m., Chapel of Praise, 1223 Dolores St., Bakersfield, CA. Pastor Willie Hollins oficiating, with a reception immediately following.

A Million Times

You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knew why

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
