Private graveside services were held at Woodlawn Mausoleum for Grace Lee Hargrave Cradeur, 83, who passed away on May 6, 2020 from Covid-19.

Her and her husband were able to travel to the mountains on many occasions and were happy camping out with their children and family and friends most weekends.
