Mary leaves behind four children; Monica (Don) Hair of Blanchester, Amy (Wayne Stevenson) Funke of Fayetteville, Tara (Brian) Rensing of Fairfield and Jenny (Mike) Heeg of Blanchester; grandchildren, Zakk (Payton) McCarty and Donavan Meddock; many friends throughout the years which include Bill and Tammy Needham and special friend, Jon. Mary was preceded in death by her husband Craig Griggs; son, Bobby Funke; as well as her parents, Myrl and Mary Leming.
