Mary Carolyn Bostian
98, a resident of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, passed away Thursday, February 5, 2026 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She was born December 28, 1927 in Center Ridge, Arkansas, the daughter of Fred Orville and Mary Isabell (Miller) Mason.
Mary loved people! She liked meeting new people and gathering with friends and family. If neighbors moved onto her street, she wanted to go meet them. If someone was having a party, she wanted to be there. Mary spent much of her time seeing, reading, quilting, crafting, growing flowers, and researching family history. In later years, she enjoyed getting on Facebook to see what others were up to. Mary has left a beautiful footprint and will be dearly missed.
She is preceded in death by her parents; husband David Vernon Bostian and one son, David ''Bruce'' Bostian, and two brothers Kenneth Orvid Mason and Ferrel Orville Mason.
She is survived by three sons, Stephen F Bostian and wife Tammie of Fayetteville, AR, Charles K Bostian and wife Nancy of Springdale, AR, and Keith L Bostian and wife Elise of Prairie Grove, AR, one daughter-in-law Elaine Bostian of Bixby, OK; eight grandchildren, Rick Bostian, Laura Beth Lowry, Elisabeth Ann Bostian, Christina King, Andy Bostian, Cary Bostian, April Christine Lynn Bostian, Abigail Grace Meyers, and Rebekah Noelle Stubbs; and thirteen great-grandchildren.
The family will receive friends Friday, February 13, 2026, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM at the Luginbuel Funeral Home.
Funeral Service will be held 10:00 AM Saturday, February 14th, 2026, at Prairie Grove Christian Church in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. A committal service will be held Saturday, February 14th, 2026 at 3:30 P.M. at the Center Ridge Cemetery in Center Ridge, Arkansas.

Beloved Mary (Nana to all), had a sassy, beautiful spirit that lit up every room. She never met a stranger, and everyone felt welcome and loved in her presence, I know she did that for me. Her life leaves a legacy of kindness, laughter and connection. May the Bostian Family find comfort in knowing how much she touched my life and many others with her bright light.
My condolences, Alisa Fox
