The Bakersfield Californian 
Barbara Ann Leech
Services: Mon., Nov. 29, 10 a.m.

Services will be held in Greenlawn Memorial Chapel, 3700 River Blvd., Monday 
morning at 10:00 a.m. for Barbara Ann Leech, 83, of Bakersfield, who passed 
away November 24, 2004 in Bakersfield. Interment will follow in Greenlawn 
Memorial Park. 

Mom was born in Bakersfield on October 8, 1921. She was a third generation 
graduate of KCUHS (now BHS), where she was president of the Girls League. She 
began studying ballet at an early age and later taught and danced 
professionally.

During WWII, Mom was a bank teller at Minter Field, where she met and married 
our Dad, 2nd Lt. Charles D. Leech Jr. Mom was the quintessential homemaker and 
prided herself on being an exceptional seamstress. More recently, Mom found 
much enjoyment with her friends at Glenwood Gardens. Additionally, she was 
very much involved with the Bakersfield Womens Club, serving as usher, 
planning decorations and even modeling for fashion shows. Also dear to her 
heart was her involvement with the Driller Reunion Committee.

Mom was preceded in death by her husband, Charles D. Leech Jr., her parents, 
Harold and May Pauly and by her grandparents, Kern County Pioneers, Essa and 
Leo G. Pauly. She is survived by her son, Carl Leech and his wife, Becky; 
daughters, Carol Leech and Vicki Gardner and her husband, George. Our mom was 
a loving grandmother to Guy and Taylor Leech, Matt and Chad Browne. Also 
treasured are her four great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the staff at Glenwood Gardens Skilled Nursing 
Facility for their unwavering dedication and the loving care they gave to Mom.
