Gone too early and dearly missed.

We miss you Grace! You left us too early. Peace.

Grace was a special individual, marvelously independent and a truly gifted teacher. It was my professional privilege to be her principal at Thornapple, Central Middle and Central Woodlands.

I have many fond and fun memories of Grace, she taught me to milk a goat, how to get back on a horse when thrown over its head, and how to dissect an owl pellet. We shared laughs and tears when we had visits with my mom.. Freddy and Katie too. i cherish and share these memories still.

Grace was a colleague and dear friend. I have many wonderful memories of our shared adventures. She will be missed by all the people whose lives she touched.

I also taught with Grace. She was a great teacher and an awesome friend. Rest in peace Grace. You will be missed.

Ms. Davis was a wonderful teacher for my children and a highly respected educator. Her sincere dedication to children and her love of nature made a difference for so many students. Thank you, Grace!

Such an outstanding teacher and a wonderful person! I had the privilege of working with her at Central Woodlands! We had many fun times!

I always enjoyed my conversations with Grace, her stories of her childhood and shooting cannons we my favorite. It's not everyday you meet someone who shot cannons just for fun!
