Grace Marie Rose Price entered the heavenly gates on April 17 after a sudden and recurring illness. She was born May 18, 1936 in Denver, to Ted and Amy Rose. She grew up in Vona and then New Raymer, after her mother died when Grace was 10. She had 3 sisters, Beverly, Violet, and Marilyn. She became a nurse, a published poet, a lover of everyone and lover God most of all.

She Married James Price April 5, 1968—they just celebrated their 49th anniversary “with a pretend trip to Italy”. They had two children, Tim and Brian. Brian needed extra care, so she sacrificed herself and quit nursing to take care of him. Brian got to heaven in 2008. Grace endured more than anyone should and was able to be forgiving even in the most extreme cases.

In 2013 Grace and Jim moved to Grand Junction, to be close to family. It was during this time that her nieces and their families really got to know her. She was ornery, loving, caring, selfless, adventurous instigated water and whipped cream fights and wanted to make sure you knew Jesus.

The family wishes to thank all the entities in the valley that helped her in the last few years, there are way too many to list here.. She will be missed by many, loved by all who knew her and they will miss that love she showered on all she met.

In her last days she was surrounded by those who loved her. She is survived by sister Violet, Husband Jim, Nieces-Glenda, Carrie, Connie, Hope, Chris, and Larinda, Nephews-Lonnie, and Wes, extended family Lynn, Paul, Frank, Brenda, Silvia, Brendon, Michelle, Violet, Alexis, Eshlay, Shawn, Sydnie, Wyatt, Kaden, Makena, Amanda, Andy, Azalia, and Aspen.

Services will be May 7 at 3, at Callahan Edfast Mortuary, 2515 Patterson Road, Grand Junction, CO. This will be a celebration so wear your bright colors. Her favorite was red, but she liked anything colorful.
