Grady, Edith Pauline

A Celebration of Life will take place July 2, 2006 for Edith Pauline 
Grady, who passed away June 18, 2006, in Bakersfield. She was born 
Edith Pauline Bridges in Coweta, Oklahoma. She was a loving wife to 
her husband of 58 years, Clyde Grady Jr., a loving mother and friend 
to her daughters and sons-in-law, a wonderful grandmother to her 
grandchildren and her two great-grandchildren and good friend to 
many. She came to California in 1938 and eventually settled in Santa 
Paula where she grew up and met and married her husband, Clyde in 
1948. He was employed by Shell Oil Company and because of their 
involvement in the oil fields, they lived up and down the state of 
California, in Houston, Texas, and in Roosevelt, Utah. They 
eventually resettled in Bakersfield in 1983, where Clyde retired. She 
was very proud of her Okie heritage. She was preceded in death by her 
parents, Arthur and Eva Bridges and her brother, Raymond Bridges; 
brothers-in-law, Grady Stufflebeam, Murl Ezell, Arch Delmarsh, and 
Jim Wortman. She will be greatly missed by her husband, Clyde;

Santa Paula; brother, Kenneth Bridges and wife, Joan of Bullhead 
City, Arizona; sisters-in-law, Teddy Bridges of Ventura, Ina Cash of 
Centerville, Alabama, and Marjorie Short of Tehachapi and numerous 
nieces and nephews. Edith Grady loved her family, gambling in 
Laughlin, going to Lake Mary and writing poetry. She was one of the 
Dallas Cowboys biggest fans. She will be missed and loved by her 
family forever. To My Loved Ones Please no regrets, and no sad tears. 
I've had your love, for all these years. How great life's been, but 
I'm ready to go. The road ahead, is mine to know. The love I've 
given, is yours to keep. It's in your hearts, planted deep. So dry 
those eyes, hold your chins up high. The time has come, to say good-
bye. Edith Grady (1994) She will be interred at Greenlawn Southwest 
Cemetery. An open house to celebrate Edith's Grady's life will be 
held July 2, 2006, from 1-4 p.m., at 1404 Manning Street, 
Bakersfield. Edith Pauline Grady Jan. 3, 1929 - June 18, 2006
