Gary Mills, long time resident of the Charles City area, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2021 after a painful battle with cancer.
A private family funeral service for Gary Mills will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church with Pastor Steve Hansen officiating. The funeral service will be live streamed on the Hauser Weishaar Funeral Home Facebook page at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 3, 2021. Burial will be at Riverside Cemetery in Charles City.

Trinity United Methodist’s pop-up clinic was a moving, spiritual moment for Illéné.
“It was really powerful to have that many people walking through the basement and filling this building that should be used for ministry,” the pastor says, especially since regular worship in person still isn’t safe in the pandemic. “So to be able to open it up in a way that can actually help the community was super amazing.”
The pandemic has been woven into the fabric of her church, literally. While the building isn’t in use, Trinity’s congregation has been creating a ribbon memorial for Wisconsin residents who have died from COVID-19. And hosting the vaccine clinic went right along with that.
