Mary McMillan Obituary

Mary Lynn Cleary Chapman McMillan, 60, of Park City, passed away Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024, at T.J. Samson Community Hospital.

Lynn was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Arlie and Florene Cleary. She worked at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store for many years and was a member of Coral Hill Baptist Church.

She was a loving wife, mother and friend to all. Lynn was such a Godly person, who trusted in the Lord, always. She enjoyed reading her daily devotions and watching the autumn leaves change each year. Lynn was tough, but fair and enjoyed watching her children play football as they grew up. She was always the loudest in the crowd.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Florene Cleary; and her paternal and maternal grandparents.

Survivors include her husband of 11 years, Charlie McMillan; seven children, Ricky Chapman, Cody Chapman, Chase Chapman, Henri Baynham-Baker, Justin McMillan, Brian McMillan and Carlie McMillan; her father, Arlie (Betty) Cleary; two brothers, Anthony Cleary and Timothy Cleary, and their spouses; and five grandchildren.

The funeral is at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, at Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown with Brother Ray Woodie officiating. Burial follows in White Mills Cemetery.

Visitation is from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13, and continues at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, at the funeral home.
