Grace grew up on a farm in Bentinck with her sister and brothers, a precious part of a large extended family with proud Scottish heritage. She carried these rural roots with her throughout her life. As a young woman, Grace set off from Durham to the big city of Kitchener, where she would meet Horst, her husband to be for more than 60 years. Here, they started their family – welcome, Suzanne and Peter – then in Kirkland Lake – enter, Leslie – before settling in Bramalea in the mid-1960s, each with long careers at the T. Eaton Company. Grace and Horst embraced town and country living, eventually retiring to Lake Eugenia where Grace enjoyed some three decades of well-deserved respite. Gracious, kind, and selfless, Grace found joy in family, travel, and country pursuits with friends – from curling and gardening, to her ladies’ card group, to long nature hikes with her dogs. She relished the peaceful pleasures of cottage life, ever with a book on the go, surrounded by the natural beauty of her beloved Canada.
Grace Woit (née Johnston) of Lake Eugenia passed away peacefully on February 28th, 2025, in her 92nd year. Beloved wife of the late Horst and cherished mother of Suzanne (Patrick), Peter (Sharmane), and Leslie (Marty). Lovingly remembered by close family Sharon, Margot, and Meike and dear friends, nearby and in Alberta, the US, and Germany. Greatly missed by her devoted companions, Golden Retriever Bowie and Barney the cat.
Special thanks to the caring professionals of peopleCare Meaford, the VON, and HCSS Grey-Bruce who supported Grace at home and in care.
