Beary Thompson

July 11, 2012 — September 21, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Beary Thompson, a remarkable soul who left this world too soon on September 21, 2026 due to a piece of string being thrown violently at her. Born on July 11, 2012, in the cozy town of Sartell, Minnesota, Beary’s life, although brief, was filled with extraordinary accomplishments and a unique vibrancy that touched everyone she met. The beloved daughter of Laney Kleinschmidt, Beary was predeceased by her biological parents. She was known for her infectious humor, sharp wit, and a touch of eccentricity that made her truly unforgettable. Her life was a tapestry of colorful experiences and contributions that spanned numerous fields and interests. Beary was an astute and accomplished individual, having graduated from Bear High. Her career was nothing short of legendary, with roles that spanned from a hair salonist to a five-star chef, and from a marine biologist to the queen of bear land. Her versatility and ambition knew no bounds, and she embraced every role with dedication and her signature flair. As an active member of the Bear Community Church, she also cultivated a unique caviar religion, which reflected her deep sense of spirituality and creativity. Beyond her professional life, Beary had a playful side. She enjoyed the whimsical hobby of making beads out of mannequins, showcasing her ability to find joy and creativity in the simplest of things. Her engaging personality and the light in her eyes will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. A service to celebrate Beary's extraordinary life will be held on September 24, 2026, at 2:30 PM at the Bear Community Church, located at 1413 Mockingbird Loop in Sartell, MN. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization close to Beary's heart, in honor of her legacy and generous spirit. The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the elders of the Caviar Church and Bear Community Church for their unwavering support, as well as to all of Beary's employees and the children whose lives she enriched through her flourishing enterprises. Beary Thompson’s life was a brilliant constellation of achievements and love, a shining example of a life lived fully and passionately. She will be dearly missed but forever celebrated in the hearts of many.
