Jean Elizabeth Gragg

Jean Elizabeth Gragg, 40, was taken from her family too early in life after falling victim to a violent, senseless act, which occurred on June 10, 2026. She fought to stay alive for her family, but succumbed to her injuries 3 days later on Saturday, June 13, 2026.   

Jean was born on March 14, 1986 in South Bend to Jay Dee Gragg, Jr. and Dawn (Gadacz) Gragg. Jean was preceded in death by her brother, Jay Dee Gragg, III.

Left to cherish their memories of Jean are her son, Mason Bailey and his father, Stephen Bailey; her fiancé, Michael "Mitch" Murray; mother, Dawn Gragg, father, Jay Dee Gragg, Jr., brother, Brian Haremza; aunt, Rebecca Eby; cousins, Jennifer Eby and Christopher Smith; best friend, Danielle McClellan, and very close friends, Victoria & Monique Carlson.

Jean graduated from Washington High School class of 2004. She worked for the Morris Performing Arts catering and bartending events, and for H & R Block as an office manager.

Jean enjoyed reading, traveling with her son, camping and floating down the river, and spending time with her friends. She was a nurturer, if anyone close to her was sick, you could count on her to take excellent care of you. Jean was a dedicated, wonderful mother, very loving and caring, always putting her son first down to her very last breath. Mason was her whole world.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at Palais Royale, 105 W Colfax Ave., South Bend, IN 46601. Condolences may be made at www.sjfh.net
