The Bakersfield Californian

Irene LeFlore Milligan

Services: Fri., May 10, 1 p.m.

Irene LeFlore Milligan was born in Allen, Oklahoma on August 22, 
1912, to Chester and Jessie Allen. She attended Beardsley School in 
Bakersfield, CA. She worked for Bakersfield Medical Group from 1953 
until she retired 21 years later. Upon retirement she devoted her 
time to reaching out to others and becoming an avid baker who was 
known for her love gifts of homemade pies, cookies, and lots of other 
goodies. Among her other interests were crocheting afghans for her 
loved ones and also taking special care of her roses and her fruit 
trees. She also found joy each morning going outside to feed the 
variety of birds that made a home in her backyard.

Irene passed peacefully in her sleep on May 6, 2002, from heart 
complications with her family by her side. She was preceded in death 
by her oldest grandson, Michael Harper and is survived by her two 
daughters, Ara Harper of Bakersfield and Judy Milligan of Escondido; 
her six grandchildren, Ninette Rogers of San Miguel, Natalie Joseph 
of Bakersfield, Nena Sedar of San Miguel, Marc Harper of Roseburg, 
Oregon and Nicole Roberts of Escondido; 14 great grandchildren. She 
is also survived by her very special and beloved brother, Mickey 
Allen of Diamond Springs, CA and his twin sister, Mearl of Gore, OK.

With special thanks to the wonderful and caring staff of Hearthstone 
Residential Care facility, which truly became her home where she 
loved each and every care giver.

We the family would like to give very special thanks to the extreme 
devotion shown by a warm and wonderful care giver, Michael Gray, who 
captured the heart and admiration of our beloved mom/grandma.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, May 10, at 1:00 p.m. at 
Greenlawn Memorial Park, 3700 River Blvd.
