and her friends.

Auntie Grace graduated from Wilson High School and later received her B.S. degree

from University of Redlands. She enjoyed a very long and successful career as an export manager and administrative secretary for Grant Oil and Tool.

In 1998, she moved up to Danville, CA to live closer to her beloved sister and family. She remained an integral part of our family and community, enjoying vacations and small get-togethers with both her dear friends and us.  She especially enjoyed travel to visit her beloved Scotland. Auntie Grace was involved in her Church and Focused Living group.  She also enjoyed serving as Correspondence Secretary of her P.E.O Chapter RV organization in Danville along with the PEO chapter she joined with her mom in Long Beach. She was also actively involved with many animal advocacy groups.
