The Bakersfield Californian 
Gilbreath, Nora Clementine "Clemmie"     
1904 - 2005 
 
Nora Clementine Gilbreath (Clemmie) 
June 3, 1904 - July 25, 2005 

Clementine was born in Oklahoma Indian Territory and moved to California in 
1945. She was admired by everyone that knew her. While living in Porterville, 
California, she was the Womens Ministrys leader and taught Adult Sunday School 
for several years. Clemmie was the author of many poems and published one 
book. She was known for dressing like a queen with hats, gloves, shoes and 
matching jewelry. Her charm and wit drew people to her. She was known by all 
the neighborhood children as grandma and someone who always gave treats and 
opened up her home to them. The grandchildren remember their Hot Rod grandma 
with pleasure, her fried chicken, peanut brittle and the colorful crocheted 
house shoes she gave as gifts. She is preceded in death by her husband, Silas 
and two sons, Ray and Art. She is survived by her daughters, Mary, Joyce and 
Verbena and son, Clarence; 13 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 15 
great-great-grandchildren. Her 101 years here on earth touched many lives and 
makes our hearts smile. Services will be held Friday, July 29th, 10:30 a.m., 
at Myers Funeral Home, in Porterville.
