The Bakersfield Californian 
Leslyn B. OHarra
Services:

Friday, July 2, 2:30 p.m. 

Leslyn passed quietly at her home surrounded by family and Father Ricardo 
Magdaleno, a close friend, she was 75.

Mother raised three sons and three daughters. She learned to golf so-so, and 
learned to fish pretty well much to the consternation of her husband, Rod. She 
spent countless hours volunteering at Mercy Hospital and working with the 
Assistance League. It seems like any free time was spent on the phone with 
friends helping them work through some catastrophe.

Leslyn was born in Ventura, CA, on January 19, 1929. The family moved to 
Bakersfield in 1936, where she attended local schools and graduated from Kern 
County Union School.

Leslyn was preceded in death by her aunt, Diane May, her parents, Donald J. 
and Florence Bradbury, her husband, Roderick E. OHarra, son, Kevin S. OHarra 
and a great-granddaughter, Kayla Van Rensselaer. She is survived by daughters, 
Sharon McPherson and husband, Donald; Pat Garrett and husband, Dennis; Michael 
Weppler and husband, Les; daughter-in-law, Cheryl; sons, Tim and Christopher 
and close friend, Evelyn. Leslyn is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 15 
great-grandchildren.

Graveside services will be held at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 3700 River Blvd., 
July 2, at 2:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please send memorial gifts to the Assistance League of 
Bakersfield, 1216 O St., Bakersfield, CA 93301, the Shriners or a Hospice of 
your choice.

Leslyn wanted to be sure to thank all of those who supported her in life and 
contributed to a pretty good ride. A gathering will be held at the family 
after the services.
