The Bakersfield Californian 
Lora Boel Hildebrand
Feb. 14, 1920 - May 10, 2005

Lora Boel Hildebrand, age 85, passed on unexpectedly on Tuesday May 10, 2005 
following an accidental fall while attending a belated Mother's Day dinner 
with her son, daughter and son-in-law. 

Lora was a Valentines Day present for Toby and Marie Boel, both Danish 
immigrants. Born in Reno, Nevada, Lora spent her schools years in Fresno, 
California graduating from Fresno High School and briefly attended Fresno 
State before World War II interrupted her schooling. In 1944 she met the love 
of her life, R.A. (Bob) Hildebrand. They were married on March 3rd, 1945 in 
Tempe, Arizona.

Settling down in Bakersfield, California to a life as a housewife and 
homemaker, Lora was the anchor for her family and husband whose farming and 
ranching operations extended from California to Arizona and Utah.

On January 2, 1949, her son, Jeff was born and on June 17, 1951, her daughter, 
Bridget Marie arrived to make her family circle complete. For the past 40 
years, she divided her time between residences in Bakersfield and Pebble 
Beach, California.

Lora was an accomplished golfer and a crack shot, who most often out shot the 
other members in her hunting party. Lora's greatest joy came in her kitchen 
where she was a "culinare extraordinaire". She often served an entirely 
homemade 5-course dinner to as many as twenty people. Lora was the toast of 
many a dinner party for a large group of friends in both Bakersfield and 
Pebble Beach.

Her husband, Bob and her brother, Mark preceded Lora in death. Lora is 
survived by her two brothers, Ralph Boel (Helen Boel) of Shafter, CA; and Hal 
Boel (Jan Boel) of Sacramento, CA; her daughter, Bridget Marie Hildebrand 
Booth (James Booth) of Carmel Valley, CA; her son, Jeff Hildebrand (Jane 
Hildebrand) of Bakersfield, CA; two grandchildren Bob and Marie Hildebrand of 
Bakersfield CA; and numerous nieces, nephews and treasured friends.

Lora's person, palate and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew 
her. Her soul is with God and her spirit lives in the hearts of her beloved 
family and friends.

Respecting Loras wishes, there will be no memorial service. The family 
suggests that any memorial contributions be made to Lora's favorite charity, 
Valley Children's Hospital (now known as Children's Hospital of Central 
California), 9300 Valley Children's Place, in Madera, CA 93638, or a charity 
of your choice.
