Grace was active in her children's education volunteering her time on the PTO. As her own children became older, Grace enjoyed taking care of other children and baby sat in her home.
She was known as the family historian. Grace could remember the birth and anniversary dates of all the family members, including Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Grace was the family's go to person when we wanted to know all family history.
Grace was blessed with many friends that came to know her through volunteer activities and her membership at the First United Methodist Church. Her friends know her as supportive and forgiving.
