Christine Griswold, 96, of Canton, widow of Ernest Griswold, passed away Friday, January 19th, 2018, in a very peaceful and graceful fashion. She spent 50 years of her life heavily involved in the Grange, rising to its highest levels. She adored singing in several choral groups, including the Mountain County Choristers from Winchester Grange No. 74. She was very involved with the development and history of the Burlington Senior Center and its many transitions throughout the decades. Along with the Canton Senior Citizens Center, she loved her Canton Community Baptist Church, its congregation and especially Pastor Amy. She will be truly missed by all who she touched. May she rest in peace.
