The Bakersfield Californian 13 November 2004

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. O'Grady 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 O'Grady 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
