Anna Marie Folks-Hilton
October 11, 1925 - July 26, 2018

Anna Marie Folks-Hilton was born in Pueblo, Colorado on October 11, 1925 to Paul and Winnifred Malcherek. She entered into eternal rest on July 26, 2018.

On her 17th birthday, she attended a dance with her sister, Ellen, and brother-in-law, Frank (Enky) Krall. A handsome soldier, Lowell Folks, asked her for a dance, and later escorted her home. They married on February 28, 1943, just days before Lowell left for war.

Anna and Lowell lived in Pueblo until 1946 when they moved their young family to California. They settled in Bakersfield, where they raised 6 children. They were married for 37 years, until Lowell's passing in 1980. In 1986, Anna married Jack Hilton. Through that marriage, Anna gained a daughter, Jan. Anna and Jack were married until his passing in 1992.

Anna worked as a secretary at Bakersfield High School. She left briefly to work as the registrar at West High School when it opened in 1965. She returned to BHS where she worked until her retirement.

Anna is survived by her children, Susan (Jack) Thompson, Linda (Fred) Cremer, Cathy Pollock, Judie (Michael) Harris, Jeff Folks, David (Tracy) Folks, Jan (Bob) Milliken; 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews. Anna is preceded in death by her parents, brothers and sister, husbands Lowell and Jack, and son, Jack.

Viewing will be held Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 9:00 AM at Greenlawn Northeast. Graveside service will follow at 10:00 AM. A celebration of Anna's life will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at Rosebella Place and Hoffman Hospice for their love and care. In lieu of flowers, please donate to ADAKC or a charity of your choice.
