Grace Leverne Aldridge

Grace passed away in Roseville, Saturday February 21, 2026 at 101 ½ years old. She was a long time Auburn resident and lived the last 14 years in Rocklin and Roseville. Grace is survived by daughters Mary, Cyndi and son Steve, grandchildren Blake, Brittany and Michelle and great grandchildren Bailey and Remi.

Grace was born in Texas in 1924. She grew up in East Texas with her mother, two brothers and two sisters. After graduating high school, Grace joined her sister Mary in Fort Worth Texas. There she worked in an auto parts store where she met her future husband, Virgil Aldridge.

Virgil and Grace moved to Auburn in 1970. When Virgil retired in 1980 he bought and restored several antique cars and trucks. Virgil and Grace were very active members of the Auburn A’s and Auburn Model T Clubs. They especially enjoyed driving their antique automobiles in holiday parades and on outings with club members.

Grace was primarily a homemaker. She loved working in her flower garden and spending time with her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. Even though Grace lived 101 ½ years, she remained very engaged in life up to her final days. We are so fortunate to have had her with us for such a long time. She will be very greatly missed.
