Grace was a long time member of the London Middlesex Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. She was a hard working volunteer on the team that folded and mailed our branch's newsletter, before the days of digital technology. Her assistance was greatly appreciated. Our condolences to the family London Middlesex Branch of Ontario Ancestors (Ontario Genealogical Society) (Paul Long - Membership)
We were sorry to learn of Grace's passing. She was generous in her donations to the London Food Bank for us to purchase seed packets for distribution to our clients to allow people to grow their own food. Our thoughts are with you during this time. - Mike Bloxam (Fresh Food Co-ordinator)

Grace was an inquisitive, caring, person. We first got to know her as a nurse, because she looked after our grandfather for many years. Grace loved anything to do with history and the United Empire Loyalists and sported a phenomenal memory. She would share favourite books and send thick letters filled with details of her research, her family, and her travels. Visiting with her here in Kingston and spending many Christmases with her in London, she was part of the family, like a cherished aunt to me and a grandmother to my son, Ted. She will be greatly missed. Jane Webster
