Grace was jewel of a lady. First met her at Pipp hospital where she was a nurse and excellent employee. Later our kids were in sports together and Grace made most of events. Thoughts and prayers with family.

To Jan & family,
I was so saddened to learn about Grace. I worked with her at Pipp Hospital and admired her skills. Faithful Grace to work as a scrub nurse in the surgery department and take “call backs” in the after hours and weekends, not to mention holidays. She had a sense of humor and was always reliable. Whatever rewards she receives in heaven, she has certainly earned! She came from rare stock! Hard worker. Condolences to her family and friends.
