Help me find information- please!

[Nephythys]

Can anyone in Southern Cali help me find information on a funeral/obit???

My grandmother has died- our families were estranged but we are trying to get some info about any services- etc....

Her name is Sophie Hendricka Pazaricky- husband Anthony. They live in Venice, CA. She would have passed away in the last couple of days.

From here I am not sure how to get the information-I was hoping someone who lived out there might have knowledge of how and where to look.

Any help is appreciated!

I'd start with the local paper (if there is a rag for Venice) and if they're not online, call them and ask.

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Estranged or not, a family member is a family member.

From what I can find Venice has no paper of it's own-what areas would I look in?

Obitfinder isn't finding anything with that last name in the last 7 days (nationally or in California). On the off chance you misspelled the last name, I checked for all California obituaries mentioning Venice and found nothing.

That list includes one of the paid placements in today's LA Times so it wasn't published today, either.

However, per whitepages.com

Sophie and Anthony Pazericky live at:

2034 Walnut Ave
Venice, CA 90291-4031
(310) 397-4308


If you all are estranged it probably would be a lot of drama to just show up without any warning anyway, so I'd suggest calling that number, seeing if anybody answers, expressing your sympathy, and asking for the information you want.

Their last name is spelled Pazaricky-unless they went completely bonkers and changed it.

I would not show up at their door- ever. I tried many times to contact them, and I considered showing up when I was out there- I never did.

If there is a funeral- I would not attend- by choice.

My mother however will attend- for her OWN closure if they can find the information.

That is their address- I know it by heart.

Some of my best childhood memories are because of them- but as I got older I saw things and went through things with them that made me see them as what they were- I am trying to remember the good, but the pain they caused is also very real.

My mom and dad did go on a road trip years back and went through and stopped to see them- they would not even answer the door.

Calling them? That would be akin to gouging out my own eyes. We have the address and #- my mom grew up in that house. It's not like they were hiding from us- they just ignored us- as if we did not exist.

I'll keep a lookout, hon.

I had found that one- it's a small community paper- may be worth looking at but so far it does not seem like a viable source.

Santa Monica is the adjoining city. They have a local paper.

And, this is the local area paper.
