Grace was a jewelry buyer for D.F. Smith Jewelers for over 30 years and subsequently worked for Birk’s Jewelers. She took great pride in knowing “fine” pieces of jewelry and being able to spot the work of great jewelers of the past at a glance. Grace was a volunteer for many years at Rodman Hall and a member of St. George’s Anglican Church. A very special thank you to Herman de Winne who took on the role of her “butler” in her final days.
