Grace was a faithful member of the Walkerton Baptist Church, a Deaconess and member of the Women’s Mission Circle where she served as Secretary for a number of years.

Grace was an amazing cook, loved knitting and reading and was eager to learn and keep up with current events and history.

She lovingly cared for her husband Wally who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease. They were a rooted couple whose children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will miss them dearly until they are all reunited again.
