At 92 years of age, in the wee hours of the morning on October 12, 2023, Grace peacefully slipped away, much the way she hoped she would do one day. Grace is survived by her daughter, Denise Winters (husband Peter), granddaughters Heather Raue, Kristine Lopez, Laura Winters, and three great-grandchildren (Layla, Isaak, Giovanni).
