After a long roller coaster ride with leukemia, Mary Bear, of State Center, lost her battle on Dec. 24 at the age of 54.

Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 28, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, in State Center. Visitation will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. today at the church with a rosary service following at 8 p.m. Memorials may be designated to Mary’s family.

For condolences, please visit www.mitchellfh.com. The Mitchell Family Funeral Home has been caring for Mary and her family. The funeral home can be reached at (641) 844-1234.

Mary had 35 years of marriage to her loving husband and best friend, Craig. During these great years, they were blessed with two sons: Taylor, wife Kimberly, grandson Dallas, and granddaughters Averie and Colbie; and Adam, wife Jacquelyn, and grandsons Dawson, Garrett and Wyatt.

Spending time with her grandchildren brought so much joy to her life. The family enjoyed camping, fishing and trips to Hickory Grove. Also, if you had a garage sale, you could count on seeing Mary.

Mary’s love was so abundant for her Dad and Mom (Earl and Joan Gray), sisters Cathy Davis and Becky Ziebell, and brothers John and Brian Gray. She takes great memories with her.
