In all things, Grace placed her primary focus on the needs of her children, 6 sons and 1 daughter. She was kind and generous to a fault and loved all of her grandchildren with all of her heart. Her health and personal struggles over the last several years were difficult, but she faced them with courage and strength; and it is this courage and strength of character that will be her legacy to the family she so dearly loved.

Also surviving are her grandchildren, Kelly, Ross, Andrew, Monique, Payton, Koda, Daniel, Miriam and Ava, her brothers, George and Sam Werden and sisters Ida Pfeffer and Rhoda Marihugh, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Grace was sadly preceded in death by her son, John on October 17, 2016. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Tom and Joseph Werden and her sister, Wilma Morrow.
