Luella McLear Obituary
GREENVILLE -- Luella C. McLear age 99, of Greenville passed away on Friday, February 21, 2025, at the Brethren Home in Greenville. Luella was born May 9, 1925, in Darke County to the late Harry G. and Lydia (Isenbarger) Yohe. She is preceded in death by her loving husband of seventy-one years, M. Darrell McLear, son Steven D. McLear.

Luella grew up on a farm in Darke County and relished her years of 4-H and farm life. Luella married M. Darrell "Dutch" McLear on December 27, 1947. After graduating from the Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing, she dedicated many years of her life to serving the healthcare needs of Darke County. Luella loved playing dominoes and any card game-- except Hearts! She and Dutch kept immaculate gardens; she truly had the greenest thumb.
