Jeannine O'Grady

A loving and caring people-person, Jeannine O'Grady, age 83, of Bellbrook, passed away on Thursday, May 14th, 2020. Jeannine was born on September 2, 1936 to June Isbel (Hillman) and Paul Isbel. She graduated from Stivers High School and later married her husband of 62 years, Thomas O'Grady. While raising their children, the family enjoyed camping trips, visits to the Drive-in, sunny days spent at NCR's Old River Park, and picnicking at Indian Lake, Ash Caves, or Hocking Hills. Jeannine loved the color blue, bowling with Tom in their mixed league, card games and monopoly at get togethers, and cooking, especially the big Thanksgiving dinner (including a special ham for Tom). She liked tacos, her dogs, Law & Order, hidden picture puzzles, and chocolate. Jeannine thoroughly enjoyed her job serving at Bethany Lutheran and the opportunities it gave her to strike up conversations with anyone and everyone. She will be greatly missed for her sweet spirit and loving attention. Jeannine was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and June Isbel, and sons Bruce Michael O'Grady and Patrick Michael O'Grady.
