Aline Males

Obituary for Aline Males Aline Maybell Simpson Males was born on July 8, 1913 in Altus, Oklahoma and passed away August 19, 2007 in Roswell, New Mexico. Aline’s birth certificate read “Baby Girl Simpson” until 1975 when she applied for social security. Social security disallowed her birth certificate. The doctor who delivered Aline was still living and signed a sworn statement that Baby Girl Simpson and Aline Simpson Males were one in the same person, enabling her to receive her social security benefit. Aline and Joe J. Males were married on July 10, 1932 in Altus. They were married for fifty-nine and a half years until Joe passed away in 1992. In addition to Joe, Aline was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Grady and Eve Parker Simpson and Three sons, Coy Eugene, and Connie Ray, and Gilbert Earl Males, all of Roswell. Life as a military wife in the 1950’s and 60’s was indeed an adventure for the whole family. They only moved twice but Joe had three tours of duty overseas. Aline stepped up to the job of being both mom and dad for many years. When they moved to Roswell in 1953, when Joe was assigned to Walker Air Force Base. The family agreed that this was the place to be. If anyone left they were drawn back to Roswell. Roswell was truly home – dust storms and all. Aline spent three years at Sunset Villa Care Center. Her time there was an adventure. She found a boyfriend, thank you, Clyde. They enjoyed their time together. She always had a hug and kiss for everyone (the staff or strangers). Aline was always ready for a visit, a cup of ice cream, and would enjoy both to the very last. Aline is survived by her daughter, Janis Lee and her husband, Ed; and son, Paul David Males, both of Roswell; eighteen grandchildren; forty-six great-grandchildren; and numerous great great-grandchildren. Graveside services for Aline will be held at South Park Cemetery Tuesday, August, 21, 2007, at 10 am with Rev. Richard Grisham officiating. Honorary pallbearers will be Hoie Sparkman, George Weitz, Ann Green, Hazel Hutchins, and all the nurses and staff of Sunset Villa.
