or everyone and considered herself an excellent cook. One of her pride and joys in her life was her only grandchild, Chris. She was always so proud of everything he did and would keep her friends informed of his achievements. When her two great grand children (Alex and Zach) came along, she remarked that she was finally "a great grandma". She is survived by her son Michael (Marlene) Schear of Charles City, grandson Chris Schear and special friend Jami Maifeld of West Des Moines, great grandchildren Alex and Zach, honorary great grandchildren Emma and Jenna, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Edith Price, husband Donald Schear, daughter Cynthia Schear Bejarano, sister Velma Reynolds, and brothers Charles Price and Bernard Price. Memorials may be directed to the family. Burial will take place in the Hampton Cemetery.
