She was originally from the Illinois area but later moved to Missouri and lived in Independence, Gladstone, and Kansas City North area for years. She always attended church before she got sick and was unable to do so. She really enjoyed traveling for many winters after Henry retired. Gracie and Henry would spend the winters in Texas or Florida.
