The Bakersfield Californian 
Mary C. "Clemie" Mier Lilburn
May 15, 1908 December 22, 2004


Mary Clemence (Clemie) Lilburn, 96, passed away December 22, 2004. Clemie was 
born in Bakersfield, California on May 15, 1908 to Jose and Celine Mier.

Preceded in death by her husband, Earl Lilburn, and brothers, Albert and 
Martin Mier, Clemie is survived by her brother, Faustino Mier, nieces and 
nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and great-grand-nieces.

Upon graduating from high school, Aunt Clemie entered employment with Kern 
County as secretary to the head librarian and supported her mother and three 
younger brothers. Clemie retired from the county after 45 years of service. 
Following retirement she took golf, piano, and organ lessons.

Clemie was a woman ahead of her time. A favorite sport of hers was dove 
hunting with her husband Earl, brother Albert, nephew Joseph, and relative 
Tony Liguore. Clemie also learned how to drive a car at an early age, climbed 
Morro Rock, and camped throughout California. A known history buff, she loved 
to discuss the early days of Bakersfield and family tales, especially those 
involving old Basque relatives. 

Although never having children of her own, Clemie surrounded herself with 
family at every opportunity. Our beloved Aunt Clemie will be deeply missed by 
Joseph Mier, Judy Dean, Gary, Debbie and Claire Moles, Joey and Molly Mier, 
and Tim, Kathy, Julia and Celine Bohan. She will also be missed by Betty, Jill 
and Jeri Foley, Noni LeGar, Linda Smith and Judy Hartfield, Beverly Jerri and 
Teri Jones, and Thomas and Robert Holmes. 

Clemies strength and spirit will always be remembered. A special thank you to 
the caregivers of Alternative Care, including Lucy, Eloise, Delia, Maria and 
Carmen. You helped ease Clemies discomfort the last few years of her life.

Services will be held Tuesday, December 28, at 10:00 a.m., at Our Lady of 
Perpetual Help Church. Interment at Union Cemetery.

Hopson-Anspach Family Mortuary
