Bakersfield – Lisa Marlene Pierce passed away unexpectedly on May 24, 2024. She was born January 11, 1969, in Bakersfield California, to Jim and Jeannette Pierce.
Lisa graduated from Arvin High School, Class of 1987. Where she was a member of the Marching Band, playing the flute and enjoyed every minute. Following graduation Lisa worked for the Kern County Superintendent of Schools and later the Kern High School District, retiring in 2019.
Lisa loved working with disabled students, loved her cats and dogs, had an amazing memory, and her movie and TV knowledge was incredible. She was the family historian, always remembering the exact date, time, and details of every event. She was a member of the Ham Radio Club, which is no small feat. She loved people, made friends easily and loved to talk. Lisa never tried to be someone she was not; she was always true to herself and marched to the beat of her own drum.
