June 24, 2020
It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my beloved grandmother, Grace E. Boyd, 82, formerly of Lancaster, at Sanatoga Court, Pottstown on Wednesday, June 24, 2020. She was the wife of the late Thomas R. Boyd who died in 2004.
Born October 10, 1937, Grace was the daughter of the late Earl and Gertrude (Shroyer) Faust.
Grace retired from the Lancaster Newspaper. She was a volunteer for Office of Aging, a Girl Scout leader, and a care giver to her husband for ten years.
Grace enjoyed writing with her pen pals in all states, who became paper and ink friends. She like to watch clouds and try to picture objects from the shape of the clouds. She also enjoyed watching TV and trips to Knoebels.
Surviving is Grace’s granddaughter, Nadine Boyd, companion of Chris Maniscalco, of Collegeville. Son in law William Keesee, Sister in law Hester Faust as well as two nieces and 3 nephews.
To Nadine: Look up at the stars and the brightest star will be me watching over you, I love you very much.
In keeping with Grace’s wishes, there will be no visitation or formal services held. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Grace’s memory may be made to the American Kidney Fund, 11921 Rockville Pike, Suite 300, Rockville, MD 20852.

Dear Nadine, You probably don’t remember me but your Grandmother and I have been friends since school in Shamokin.In fact we were both married on the same day(2/16/1957) We remained friends all these years but I lost touch with her over a year ago. Your mother always kept me up to date on her and then we lost touch. I tried to contact her. I did not know she passed. Honey I’m so sorry you lost her, She was special. Your grandmother talked about the two of you all the time. She loved you both so much. I will miss her. I’m thankful that Herb Dressler a classmate from school let me know of her death. Please take care of yourself and know you will be in my prayers. Love and Gods Blessings, Shirley (Delbaugh) Trodden

Dan and I send our deepest sympathies to you Nadine and Chris on the passing of your Gram. She was a sweet lady for sure. Know you have been through so much heartache in the last year, just losing your mom last year and now Gram. You have alot of good memories and times you shared together so I pray that will let you rest your heart and mind. We know you went above and beyond for Gram’s care when you had to take over. Your Gram loved you and now she can rest in peace with her husband, daughter and those gone before her. God Bless.
