Marce Yribarren Delaney
Marcelina ("Marce") Yribarren DeLaney

09/19/2018 - Bakersfield, CA, USA

Oct. 9, 1921-Sept 19, 2018

Marcelina ("Marce") Yribarren DeLaney passed away at home surrounded by her family on September 19, 2018, just a few weeks shy of her 97th birthday.

She was born on October 9, 1921, in Bakersfield, California, to Jose and Juanita Yribarren. Her parents immigrated from the Basque Country to Kern County in the late 1800's, and Marce was the last living descendent of the first-generation Basque born in Kern County. She was also an honorary member of the Kern County Basque Club.

Marce graduated from Kern County High School, now known as Bakersfield High School, in 1938. She met and married Gilbert DeLaney in 1939, and they were married for 66 years. Marce is survived by her three children: Yvonne Thomas, Charlene Urrutia, and Joe DeLaney (Kathy). She leaves 10 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, 10 great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Marce will be lovingly missed by all her family.

The viewing will be held on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Hillcrest Mortuary. The graveside service will be held on Wednesday, September 26, 2018, at 10:00 am at Union Cemetery, and will be officiated by Monsignor Frost. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kern County Basque Club.
