Grace was a joy to be around, a lover of animals, always interested in others, & was a wonderful neighbor. We will miss her dearly!
Claudene Carkeek says
What a dear lady! When I was tiny “Mrs. Whitehouse” lived next door to us. She made some of my first memories. Later she married Uncle Arthur, Grandpa’s brother, and became “Aunt Grace.” A sad loss for this world, but I’m sure it feels good to be Home! We love you, Carol and Bob. – Claudene and Steve

Grace was a blessing in my life. As a child I would go visit her in the little white house along with her daughter. I remember Grace making ginger snaps. I remember her daughter making mmy dolly a beautiful dress. She left this earth much earlier than her mom but they were both amazing women. I will always miss them as they were a huge part of my up bringing. My condolences to the family.

The lovely Grace “Whitehouse” lived next door to us when I was growing up. She often would walk across the alley to babysit us. What a wonderful lady. I have always remembered her with fondness. She was so kind to me and my family through the years.
