She was born November 26, 1928, at Bullhead, SD, to Henry and Louise (Clown) Red Bear. Growing up out in the country Lila had loved and rode horses.

She enjoyed getting involved with the women's group always planning and organizing for fundraisers, programs, dinners, lunch sales, annual bazaars, and assisting where ever she can.
