Lorene Pugh

December 14, 1931  July 23, 2003

Mom went home to be with the Lord July 23, after a long and valiant 
fight with cancer. Mom was born near Broken Bow, Oklahoma, on 
December 14, 1931, to Homer and Nora Parker. She and her family moved 
to Avenal, California, when she was ten years old. She went to local 
schools where she met her future husband, Thirmon Pugh. They were 
married  December 2, 1949. They had one son, Roger, who was born 
October 19, 1950. They moved to Bakersfield in 1954 and settled in 
Rosedale.

Mom juggled her homemaking duties with work at Rosedale School and 
various other jobs. Mom was a fun loving person and had a great sense 
of humor. She was willing to help whenever someone needed help, even 
if it was just a smile and a hug. Mom had great wisdom and always 
gave good advice when she was asked. She will be greatly missed by 
her family and all of the friends she made over the years.

Mom is survived by her husband, Thirmon, whom she was married to for 
53 years and 7 months; her son, Roger Pugh and his wife, Lisa. Also 
Moms grandchildren, Matthew Pugh, Grace Montgomery and her husband, 
Derik Montgomery; great-grandchildren, Lydia Pugh, Kaylee Pugh, 
Dominic Montgomery and Destiny Montgomery. She is also survived by 
her brother, Edward Parker of Lake Isabella, CA; her sister, Geneva 
Durham of Bakersfield, CA and her brother, Charles Parker and his 
wife, Betty of Oroville, CA. She is also survived by many nieces, 
nephews and cousins.


The family would like to thank everyone who sent cards and letters 
during Moms illness. The cards and letters gave Mom great comfort 
during her illness. The family would also like to thank all of the 
members of the Rosedale Church of Christ who came to visit, called, 
sent cards, or brought food. It was greatly appreciated. The family 
would also like to thank the members of Local Union 155 Retirees Club 
for their calls, cards and letters.

There will be graveside services, Monday, July 28, 11:00 a.m., at 
Shafter Cemetery. The service will be performed by Pastor Randy 
Hilburn of the Rosedale Church of Christ. Viewing will be Sunday, 
July 27, 4-6 p.m., at Bakersfield Family Funeral Directors, 701 34th 
Street.
