Mary Frances Colebrook, 78, of the Berryhill community, entered her heavenly home on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, May 4, 2026, at the Jim Groesbeck Memorial Chapel at Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Home, with Pastor D. Grant Wyse officiating. Burial will follow at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens in Broken Arrow. Viewing will be held Sunday from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the funeral home.

Mary was born on November 2, 1947, in Mount Vernon, Indiana, to Jesse David Bauer and Delilah (Baggett) Bauer. Around the age of 13, she moved with her family to Tulsa, where they made their home in the Berryhill community—a place Mary would cherish and continue to call home as she raised her own family.

Mary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother whose life was defined by faith, determination, and love for her family. A strong and faithful Christian, she lived her life with purpose and energy, always striving to make the most of every opportunity.

In her early years, Mary dedicated herself as a homemaker. In her 40s, she pursued her education, earning her GED, and soon after obtained her real estate license. She worked alongside Monty Box with Coldwell Realtors before launching her own successful business, Goldstar Properties—just one example of her entrepreneurial spirit.

It was during a missionary trip to New Zealand that Mary met the love of her life, Gordon Colebrook. The two spent three years in New Zealand before returning to the Berryhill community, where together they built a life centered on faith, family, and hard work. They went on to establish Colebrook Nursery and Landscape Center, another reflection of Mary's drive and passion.

Mary had a remarkable ability to turn any interest into a success. Whether quilting or gardening, she approached everything with enthusiasm and excellence. What began as simple hobbies quickly grew into thriving ventures—quilting turned into a business, and her love of gardening led to canning fruits and vegetables that she proudly sold to local tribes. She was not one to do anything halfway; everything she touched flourished.

Even in her passing, Mary's giving spirit continues. She was a LifeShare donor, a final act of generosity that reflects her lifelong desire to help others and make a difference in the lives of those around her.

Above all, Mary loved her family deeply. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the center of her world, and she poured her heart into each of them. She will be remembered as a strong, energetic, and loving woman whose legacy of faith and perseverance will live on in those she leaves behind.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse David Bauer and Delilah Baggett Lee; and her sisters, Barbra Hensen and Brenda Pennington.

She is survived by her loving husband, Gordon Colebrook; her brother, Bud Bauer and wife, Bonnie; her children, Charlie Frazier and wife, Melissa, Daniel Boone Frazier, Billy Frazier, Jonathan Frazier, and Elizabeth Frazier; her grandchildren: Stephanie McSperitt and husband, Austin, Jesse Frazier, Kacee Easum and husband, Terry, Chloe Simonton and husband, Connor, Corey Grimm and wife, Samantha, Zac Grimm, Emily Frazier, Joey and wife, Cammie, Kady Rodman, Caleb Frazier, Levi Frazier, Michael, Cassandra, and Cody Sowell; her great-grandchildren, Aleisha Hewitt and husband, Benji, Lendsey McSperitt, Carter and Cooper Simonton, Lillian and Lucas Graham, Elisa and Matilda, Jackson Frazier, and Marley; her great-great-grandchildren: Cash Hewitt and Daytona Hewitt; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Mary's life was a testament to hard work, faith, and unconditional love. She was truly an amazing woman who made a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the coming weeks. For details, please follow the Colebrook Nursery Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ColebrookNursery or contact the family directly.
