Shelby, I'm soo sorry for the loss of your grandma. It sounds like she had a wonderful, full life. May she R.I P. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Gretchen was truly a remarkable lady! I loved my summer stays with Grams. Aunt Gretchen in her bathing suit, book, cup of coffee, slippers and a beautiful tan! She was a lady I aspired to. Prayers for each of you as you recall her memories and move forward thru this difficult time.

My condolences to the family for the loss of your Mom, Gretchen. But you, like I, have memories to draw from. Mine are of the years that we "battled" on the court as Bath and Van Wert would tangle in a girl;s game. It was never a game I looked forward to because I generally knew what was coming as far as the final result, but I did look forward to a visit with Gretchen and some words of wisdom for me as a younger coach. And she always sought out me parents before the game to visit and...

Dear Clarke, Amy, and Pat, Our family extends our deepest and most sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. She was a truly wonderful, kind, and amazing woman throughout all the years of her life, touching the hearts of so many of us who grew up knowing her. As longtime neighbors, we cherish countless fun stories from days gone by, but the best one remains our freshman boys' health class-what a hoot she was as our teacher! She made us all feel like we had a big sister and...

Thoughts and prayers for the Prichard family for Gretchen was a fine lady. I referee some basketball games until she gave it up. I remember her as a gracious lady that she seldom question when I referee one of her games, and her players love her. She always loved to win but was a gracious when she lost a game, which was very seldom. Lord grant the Prichard family wisdom and peace through this difficult time. You emulated sportsmanship to your players. Rest in Peace .

Gretchen, was a outstanding teacher, and coach.My thoughts and prayers,are with the Prichard family. Sincerly, Tim glancy Bath H.S. class of 1979. m

Coach P was amazing. I played on her basketball team. She taught us that we could accomplish anything with the right attitude and hard work! And she worked us hard. She was way ahead of the times when it came to women in sports. She had a dry humor and a great smile. We all loved her. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Hugs to the family...you had a great mom!
