Grace Phillips Lenehan, 98, of Ajax, passed away peacefully at home on April 3rd, 2023 with her loved ones at her bedside. Grace was born the youngest of ten children in Glasgow, Scotland to Agnes and Fred Girvan. She grew up and resided there until moving her young family to Canada in 1957 where they settled in Ajax, Ontario. Grace was fierce and adventurous in many aspects of her life.
She worked diligently for 30 years as an Upholstery Sewing Machinist at Chrysler, where she was also an active union member and advocate for worker rights. After Grace retired, she was a major volunteer and contributor to the United Way campaign, helping to raise funds for local organizations. Grace was generous with her time and very involved in her community, notedly Ajax Baptist Church. Grace will be remembered fondly for her generosity, fun and laughter. She was always able to find humour in difficult situations and had an infectious smile. She was a gifted gardener, a talented negotiator, and an amazing grandmother – to every child she would meet, not just her own. She insisted on being called «Nana» because she was «too young to be a grandma» and her actual age was always kept top secret! Grace loved her flower garden and we would often find her sitting on the porch, sipping tea and doing word searches, patiently waiting for someone to walk by so she could smile and say hello. She counted her blessings daily, was grateful to the very end, and was a joy to all who met her.
Grace is survived by numerous family members. Beloved Mother of Brian Lenehan and Dale Lenehan; predeceased by her sons Gerald Lenehan and Derek Lenehan. Nana to Robin (Donnie) Hicks, Ryan Lenehan (Elizabeth Saldana), Emmily Lenehan (Julien Maillard), Cailey (Nigel) Nagarajan, Adrienne Lenehan (Nick Strachan), and Heather Lenehan (Vlad Petrov); Great Nana to Joseph, Helen and Georgia Hicks, Lena Maillard, Luke and Felicity Nagarajan; Mother-In-Law to Elaine Lenehan and Linda Lenehan.
Grace’s energy and passion will live on in the ones she has left behind. She will be missed.
