For many years Grace spent most of her spare time crocheting blankets for family members and friends. She was an avid reader of books, finishing one and moving right into the next book was common. She cherished her family, especially later visiting with her grandchildren. She will always be fondly remembered for her unique personality, the kindness and giving spirit she possessed, her good nature and pleasant presence by all who loved and knew her.
