Eliede "Lee" Drost Pounds, BHS '67 (1948-2023)
5/29/2023 UPDATE
Lee’s Memorial Service is Saturday June 4, at 1 p.m. in the afternoon at Sierra Vista Pres. Church in Oakhurst.
Eliede Trinette “Lee” Drost Pounds
August 27, 1948 - May 20, 2023
This is very sad... we just learned that Lee Drost Pounds passed away last night. Her brother Henry Drost said she had cancer surgery 45 days ago.
Lee was born in Holland and grew up in Burbank. She lived in Ahwahnee, Calif. Her other brother, Peter Drost, BHS '65, passed away in 2019. Read more here.
I have fond and fun memories of Lee from high school. We reconnected on Facebook and she has come to a few class relunions including last year. Such a sweet person who will be greatly missed by many.
We send our deepest heartfelt condolences to her family.
Lee sent this photo from last year's reunion at Barragan's in Burbank.

In Jr High Larry used to like my sister, Carol. He went to the World’s Fair with his family & brought back both of us souvenir scarves. He was always such a kind soul. I loved hearing him sing on our Class Zoom sessions. He would just bolt out singing Opera. So sorry to hear he has passed away. RIP Larry.

MAY 7, 2023 UPDATE
From Mindy…
Hi Cathy. Here is a postable Memorial card. I read some of the comments on the blog and it made me so happy. Thanks for doing this.
It was Pancreatitis. Something new that came on all of a sudden and he passed within 48 hours. He had his family with him until the end. He was loving and faithful and was able to speak until the last 10 minutes of his life which was a blessing for us.

OBITUARY
Julie Ann Fear-Oliver
February 7, 1949 - February 3, 2023
Julie passed away from a sudden illness in Reno, Nevada at the age of 73.
Julie was raised in Burbank, CA and attended school there until she moved to Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii, where she graduated from high school in 1967. She attended college in Southern California, completed her Bachelors degree at the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
Julie worked in many fields, banking, marketing, sales. Her last employer was the State of Nevada, Department of Education and retired in 2016. After her retirement she developed a passion for music, she loved to play the conga drums and tambourine, sitting in and singing back-up at various venues in Carson City and Virginia City. Life was a party and she wanted to be part of it. Julie had a host of hobbies besides her music, she loved art, stained glass, and cooking. She was a devout Christian, she enjoyed her bible study group and spreading the word of Christ to everyone she met.
A private family service will be held in her honor at a later date to share the memories of her life and the fun times we all had with her. She is survived by her daughter Heidi Hauk and granddaughter Carina Hernandez both of Long Beach, CA.

Life partner, Rick Oliver and his children Kevin Oliver and Rebecca Martinez (Ricky) grandsons; Ricky Jr., Noah and Benny of Sparks, NV.
If we can take anything away from Julie's life it would be to keep an open mind about others and their daily personal struggles. Be kind.

Dona Foy Porcaro Bruckner, BHS '67 (1949-2023)
Dona Ruth Foy Porcaro Bruckner
July 26, 1949 - January 24, 2023
Heartbreaking news about friend and classmate, Dona Ruth Foy Porcaro Bruckner, posted today by husband, Scott Bruckner...
Two weeks ago today, I lost my beautiful wife to a terrible lung disease called IPF. A light went out in the world that day while she lay next to me. She touched thousands of lives, and will be forever missed. I loved her with all my being.
Dona was a fun-loving, amazing person and will be greatly missed. She grew up in Burbank on the corner of Orange Grove Ave and Ninth St, the youngest of siblings Dennis and Tonia. The parents were Ralph and Ruth Foy. Mr. Foy was the General Manager of the Public Service Department for Burbank and eventually, there was a park named after him.

I had a kidney transplant in 2008. At that time Dona and Scott still lived nearby to me in Valencia. After I got home from the hospital about ten days after my surgery Dona came over several times with dinners she had made for me, I'm remembering Italian dishes! She made enough for several meals each time she brought food to me. Now that is almost 15 years ago, but still a clear memory of her kindness to me! I feel badly for Scott, and also for Dona's sons. So sorry.
