Grace E. Hanneford

I have many memories of Grace! We were talking about her recently and how she would love our three year old miniature poodle! Gracie lived up the road from us and came in our store almost every day. She was a treasure.

I have many memories of this wonderful lady. She was a neighbor of ours for many years on Hanniford Rd. East side Lake George. She visited our general store, Williamson's Grocery, over the years and I enjoyed many conversations and delighted in her family history. We were thrilled to sees her at work with her dogs and remember her with great fondness.

I have know Gracie since I was a little girl when she worked at Frontier Town in North Hudson NY. She took a shine to me as a youngster and we had a great friendship during those years. I was also priveliged to know her father Poodles and her mom Grace. I would watch Poodles and Gracie perform in the rodeo arena 3 times a day and loved every minute of it. She and her mom were guests at my wedding in 1968. Gracie you will be missed but not forgotten.

DEAR FRIEND,
YOU WILL BE MISSED SO VERY MUCH. IT IS GOING TO BE SO HARD TO GO TO ST. JAMES CHURCH AND NOT SEE YOU SITTING NEXT TO ME. YOU HAVE BEEN MY FRIEND FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, AND I THANK YOU! AND THANKS FOR TAKING ME TO YOUR FAMILY CIRCUS.
LOVE JOY

Gracie was my friend for the past 10-12 years, and I'm grateful that we were able to be in NY for her services. I'll miss her Monday night phone calls to me in North Carolina. She was in my prayers every day, and now I expect I'll be in hers!

I have known Gracie since the 1950's when she and her mother and father were guest performers on the Shrine Circus (Polack Bros.) in Albany, N.Y. Being close friends with her cousin Tommy and his wife Struppi, I have visited with Gracie many times since. She was always a vibrant, kind and friendly woman whose proud independence was a legend in the circus community. She had a kind word for everyone and could "cut up jackpots" with the best. God bless you, Gracie. You are lovingly missed. May...

Gracie was an honorary member of Wayne McCary Tent #172. She was a very fine lady and friend and will be missed by Mary and I.
