National Guard, he enlisted in the Army at the outbreak of WWII. Mr. Pierce 
came to Minter Field, outside of Bakersfield, through a military transfer with 
the Air Force. After the war, Fred was discharged in his home state of Alabama 
as a Staff Sergeant, and he moved straight back to Bakersfield. He loved this 
town. He went to work for Safeway Stores as a Meat Cutter. Then after ten 
years he bought County Fair Clothing in Lamont, retiring in 1983. He made some 
lasting friendships there. He loved his work.

Survived by his wife of 49 years Kareen Pierce, son Brian Pierce of Lamont and 
daughter Nila Swann of Birmingham, AL; three grandchildren and ten great-
grandchildren whom he loved and enjoyed very much. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that Memorial donations be made to the 
First United Methodist Church or a charity of your choice.
