A Celebration of her life was held on March 3, 2012, at Grace Lutheran Church in Grafton. Pastor Heidi Borkenhagen presided. Grace moved from the East Coast to Grafton 35 years ago to be close to her relatives after her marriage dissolved. She raised her youngest children while working at Leeson Electric. She had a special interest in Special Olympics, since her youngest son is brain damaged. She was proud of all her children and doted on her grand- and great-grandchildren. Grace's favorite hobby was bingo. Memorials are appreciated to Grace Lutheran Church, 715 6th Ave., Grafton, WI 53024, or Portal Industries Inc. 1015 Cedar Creek Road, Grafton, WI 53024.
