Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Mary B. Graves was born Oct. 21, 1941, in Glendale, Calif., the firstborn of Eugene and Charlotte Baur Graves. She died Oct. 19, 2020, at home in Hood River, Ore.
Mary and Stan were lovingly married 51 years. Their children are Erik (Cara) and Shannon (Tim Huberd) with grandchildren Ava and Harley. Her sister, Barbara Grear, is included in her family.
Mary delighted in her family and many friends. She had the spiritual Gift of Hospitality and enjoyed creating and decorating her home, cooking delicious food and entertaining with fun activities. Stan and she feel they left family everywhere they lived.
Her personal appearance was always important to her. She was youthful and full of life.
Her garden was a great joy to her and decorating with flowers brought her happiness. She extended this gift by making bouquets for Hospice patients. Many people were graced with a batch of cookies.
A private remembrance was held Sunday, Oct. 25.
Many have asked to contribute to a memorial in her name. Two organizations have been chosen: Providence Hospice of Hood River at give.providencefoundations.org or Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation (honors first responders) at Tunnel2towers.org.
Mary and family believe the scripture that “Love Never Ends.”
