She was also a longtime volunteer for the Red Cross Blood Bank. She enjoyed summers at the family cottage in Mill Rift, PA, and extensive travels with her husband.
In addition to her husband Edwin, she is survived by her 2 children; daughter Carolyn F. Hagan and her husband Gerard T. Hagan; her son, William T. Fellows; and her 3 grandchildren, G. Thomas Hagan, Emma E. Hagan and Rachel C. Hagan. Grace was predeceased by her sister, Violet K. Munnich.
