The Tehachapi News 
Mary Louise (Dee Dee) Bachara

July 11, 1926 — Sept. 5, 2005

Mary (Dee Dee) Bachara, lifetime resident of Tehachapi, passed away on Sept. 5 
at her residence with her loving family by her side. Rosary was recited on 
Thursday evening by Father Joel Davadilla and a funeral Mass of Christian 
burial was celebrated on Friday, Sept. 9, by a friend of the family, Father 
John Gracey of Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish in Bishop. Dee Dee was of 
Navajo, Yokut and Yaqui Indian heritage and her family dates back in the 
Tehachapi Valley to the early 1900s.

Mrs. Bachara was born in Tehachapi on July 11, 1926 to parents Mary and Frank 
Acevedo. She was a faithful member of St. Malachy Catholic Church and during 
her lifetime she felt privileged to have attended Mass in all three St. 
Malachy Church buildings; the one built in 1887, the 1937 structure and the 
present church. She attended local public schools and was a member of the 
Tehachapi High School class of 1945.

In 1945 she was united in marriage to Edward Bachara, whom she met when he was 
a United States Marine stationed at the Marine Corps Air Base in Mojave. To 
this union, seven children were born.

Her gusto for life included being devoted to her family, a loving wife, mother 
and grandmother who taught unconditional love, charity and a never-give-up 
attitude.

She is survived by six children; sons, Frank and his wife Michelle, of 
California City; and Shawn Bachara, of Tehachapi; daughters, Sandra Vasquez 
and husband Paul; Teri Gracey and husband James; and Robin Cummings and 
husband Dale; and Katie Phillips, all of Tehachapi. She was proud of her 24 
grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and her numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Edward Bachara, her first child, Patricia 
Kathleen Bachara, her mother, Mary Rodriguez and loving stepfather, Joe 
Rodriguez and her only sister, Julia Rodriguez Thornburg.

Burial was in Tehachapi Public Cemetery Westside.
