The Bakersfield Californian 
Lucille Elzie O'Grady
Mar. 9, 1928 Nov. 11, 2004

Graveside services will be held Tuesday, November 16th at 11:00 a.m. in 
Greenlawn Southwest Cemetery, 2739 Panama Lane, for Lucille Elzie O'Grady, 76, 
of Bakersfield, who passed away November 11, 2004, in Bakersfield. Pastor Jack 
Counts will officiate. 

Mrs. OGrady was born March 9, 1928 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma and had been a 
resident of Kern County for 70 years. Lucy was a feisty lady that made raising 
two kids a career. She was a success. As a mother she was at the top of her 
class. She provided but didn't spoil. She taught us that laughter was 
important and that you could laugh at yourself and it could feel good. We owe 
our independence and ability to prosper to this woman that was small in 
stature but mighty in presence.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ollie and Susan Touchstone; two 
brothers, Jackie and Wilburn Touchstone and a sister, Brenda Fisher. Survivors 
include her son and daughter-in-law, Jon J. and Cynthia OGrady of Bakersfield; 
daughter and son-in-law, Janet P. and Terry Pollard of Cool, CA; 
grandchildren, Chelsea, Hayley, Macy and Joshua; great-granddaughter, Madison; 
brothers, Ollie and Elwood Touchstone; sisters, Betty Counts, Yvonne Dodd and 
Mary Jordan; and many nieces and nephews.

Lucy loved family, especially her mom and dad. She loved yard sales, lottery 
tickets and her annual birthday trip to Las Vegas. She was a strong, stubborn 
woman that was a block in the foundation of our lives and she has left us to 
support each other and will be missed.

We Love You Mom
