Bragg, Mary Patricia (née McPherson) – Born into Eternal Life on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at age 68. Loving wife and soulmate of Roy Bragg Jr. for 50 years.

Beloved daughter of the late James and Joan McPherson, and sister of the late Helen Luell (Jerry) and James McPherson Jr. (Genevieve).

Proud mother of Jason (Kelly), Ryan (Shelley), Nicholas (Kimberly), and Adam Bragg.

Adored grandmother to Sophia, Sheamus, Kaydence, Cora, Holden and Benjamin Bragg.

Loved aunt to James McPherson III, Meghan McPherson, Paula Stephani, Kathryn Lowe, Daniel Pecha, Jerry Luell Jr. and Jenee Luell.

Loyal and lifelong friend to Cindy Sokol Brzycki.

Also loved by aunts, uncles, cousins, former co-workers, neighbors, and many, many friends.

Born in Chicago (but never a Cubs or Bears fan), Mary graduated in the class of 1975 from Milwaukee Hamilton High School. She was a loyal, hard-working and respected employee of Great Midwest Bank for 40+ years where she retired in December 2024. Her amazing work ethic saw her rise in ranks from a bank teller to an Assistant Vice President.

Mary loved her Irish heritage, gardening, wine, music, traveling, countless days on the lake, the outdoors (always walking barefoot), and attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, competitions, and recitals. She was an avid Wisconsin sports fan, diehard when it came to the Milwaukee Brewers, and a devoted Catholic and parishioner of St. Matthias Church.

“May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children’s children. May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.”

Visitation from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin.
Additional visitation 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, with funeral mass at noon, on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at St. Matthias Catholic Church, 9306 Beloit Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
