Our beloved mother and grandmother, Mary Beth Charlotte (Gustafson) McLeod, passed away at 4:30pm Thursday, December 5, 2024 after a brief illness. Her final moments were spent surrounded by her children. She was 76.

Mary Beth was mother to Mike (57), Kristen (55) and Ryan (50) and mother-in-law to Julie McLeod and Tyson Miller. Mary Beth was married to William (Mike) McLeod, her soulmate, who preceded her in death nearly 40 years ago at the young age of 39. She was a proud grandmother to Helena (28), Will (28), Michael (26), Greyson (24), Gunnar (18) and Kaitlyn (16).

The second born of five growing up in Eugene Oregon, Mary Beth is survived by sisters Patti Carter, Rosemary Starks, Kathi Collier and brother David Gustafson.

An avid sports fan, Mary Beth loved watching the Ducks, Minnesota Vikings and golf.

A private celebration of life will be held in Eugene, Oregon. Memorial Donations may be made to the American Heart Association.
