She was born on February 19, 1937 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Raymond Grill and Marie Gintner. She graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1955 and moved to Milwaukee where she married a very handsome usher which was the love her life. She worked for Harley Davidson and Vilter Manufacturing where as a time keeper. She was very proud that she earned those jobs because she could work and setup the time keeping computers. After moving to Las Vegas for her retirement, she got to do more of the things she enjoyed like watching baseball, taking care of animals and being with friends and family, which she enjoyed most of all. She was always willing to lend a hand to a friend, especially if they needed a ride someplace. She will be dearly missed by everyone, family and friends alike, who knew her in Las Vegas, Milwaukee and Oshkosh.
