Mary Lea Comstock

Mary Lea (Dennis) Comstock was born to Ray and Pearl Dennis in Falls City, Oregon on September 15, 1939. A graduate of Falls City High School, she married Ron Comstock in 1958 and soon after welcomed her two boys - John (Lori) Comstock (1959) and Doyle (Beate) Comstock (1960). Throughout her life she had a number of careers while raising her boys -including working in the many different agriculture fields in the summer, Avon Lady, School Bus driver, and 911 dispatcher, to name a few.

After retirement, Mary traveled North America with her companion, Dale Bush, for many years in their RV. She particularly enjoyed traveling to Mexico and throughout the southwest. After Dale's passing, Mary became a snow bird, living part time in Yuma, Arizona and traveling home to Oregon to stay with family during the summer months. She had many lifelong friends nearby and particularly looked forward to attending the Old Timers Picnic held in Falls City.

Mary leaves behind a large family including 5 adoring Grandchildren, 4 precocious Greatgrandchildren, and an extended family which includes her beloved nieces and nephews.

Towards the end of her life, she resided in Florida with her youngest son Doyle, where they were able to provide loving in-home care for Mary as her health declined.

The pull to return to Oregon became great towards the end, and she returned to reside at Harmony House Memory Care. Her family and friends visited her often, taking her meals, and shopping and spending time reminiscing. She passed away peacefully on December 22, 2024

The family would like to thank the staff at Harmony House for their love and attention to Mary at the end of her life.

Those who loved her will remember her best for christmas fudge so sweet it made your gums hurt, her beautiful embroidery work, and her love of searching for hidden gems at garage sales. Mary could often be found trying her luck at penny slot machines and enjoying a casino buffet with friends.
