"Mother" Lear was a real mother to her own children as well as to her grandchildren--Tempa, Wava, and Bradley Lear--also several nephews and any other child who needed mothering. She was a real guiding hand in her community, never ignoring a request for aid in sickness or distress. The last years of her life were spent in semi-invalidism but she accepted pain and discomfort with bravery.
She was a member of the Springview Methodist Church for 54 years.
Besides her husband, brother, sisters and children she leaves twnety grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, many other relatives and friends.
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since she lingers there.
Think of her as living on, as
In the love of Heav'n as the love of her;
Think of her still as the same, I say;
She is not dead--she is just away!
Pallbearers were Norman Johnson, Keith Sloan, Dick Beattie, Bradley Lear, Rex Boyd, and Wm. J. Lear.
