The two were united in marriage on July 17, 1948, at St. John’s Catholic Church in Waterloo. In 1949, the couple moved to Kraemer family farm near Charter Oak. The couple was blessed with the birth of five children and she stayed home to raise them. She was a farmer’s wife. Grace was an avid caregiver to her daughter, Barbara. She helped her thrive in her health program she was enrolled in through the University of Iowa. Her resilience, determination and motherly love was truly remarkable. Grace later worked at Eventide Lutheran Home for many years. Grace and LeRoy were trained to operate dialysis machines and provided home dialysis care from 1989 to 1995. Grace was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church in Charter Oak and the Ladies Auxiliary. She loved playing card with friends; they would alternate hosting parties for their card club group. Grace was a wonderful quilter and made quilts for all of her family members. She also made honorary quilts for military service men. She loved to dance to Lawrence Welk with LeRoy in her younger years at the Colosseum in Waterloo and the dance hall in Storm Lake. She cherished her flower garden and took extra special care of her roses. Grace enjoyed traveling from one end of the country to other and overseas with LeRoy; they always planned one vacation a year, sometimes two.
