Grace, Karen Lorraine – We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, Karen Lorraine Grace of Truro on Thursday, October 20, 2022, at age 78, in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.
Originally from Elderbank, Karen was the 14th of 15 siblings born to the late Samuel and Mary Elizabeth (Whalen) Bezanson.
Mom was predeceased by her husband, William Gordon Grace; son, Gregory Gordon Grace; siblings, William, Ervine, John, Douglas, Lorne, Eileen, Alma, Francis, Rosamond, Vera, Shirley, Harold and Freda.
She is survived by her sister, Joan McNutt; sons, Dale Grace (Donna), Billy Grace; daughter, Tami Grace-Cripps (Matthew); grandchildren, Matty, Kayle, Riley, Dale Robert, Daniel, Holly, Gabrielle, Mikayla, Malachi and Micah.
Mom was a true believer in her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and has gone home to be with Him. She was a beautiful woman, so loved by family and friends. Anyone who knew her will always have a piece of her in their heart. Mom loved going to classic car shows and watching the Blue Jays games with friends and family. She loved spending time with her sister, Joan. Mom and Joan shared a fond memory of themselves as children sitting on milk cans on the back of their truck driving to Halifax where they would sing and have their music recorded on actual records (LPs). She loved being with all her friends and family and sharing quality time with them. Grammy’s grandchildren loved her so very much.
We would like to thank all of Mom’s friends and family who visited her over the past month. It truly meant a lot to our mom and all of us.
There is no visitation as per Karen’s wishes.
A graveside ceremony will take place at St. Andrew’s United Church Cemetery, Elderbank on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 2 p.m. with Rev. Steve McEvoy officiating. Refreshments will follow downstairs in St. Andrew’s Church, 36 Elderbank Back Road, Elderbank.
Memorials in her name may be made to the Lung Association of Nova Scotia.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
