Remembered by many as “Grams” not only by her adored 7 Granddaughters and 6 Great Grandsons but also by those she fostered and taught in Sunday School, Preschool and Cub Scouts. She joins her husband, Paul, and their precious babies, Paul and Paula, along with many other family and friends who preceded her in their heavenly journey.

Grams played such a special role in the children’s program at St. John’s. She always brought something special to show Grant in nursery and showered all the kiddos with love. She was a blessing to so many. So sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.
