Eloise Ann Martz

Eloise was born in Marquette on Dec. 1, 1946, daughter of the late Earl and Laura (Wittler) Grimes. She graduated from Graveraet High School in 1964. The birth of her daughter motivated Eloise to continue her education at Northern Michigan University. After graduating from NMU, she worked for nearly 20 years at Champion International. Eloise had a very creative and observant side that she expressed through her sewing and photography. She especially enjoyed exploring local waterfalls for her photography. She also enjoyed swimming at the YMCA or cozying up at home with a good book. Eloise possessed a quiet strength that was apparent to all those around her. Eloise will be deeply missed by her daughter, Denise (Corey) Jackson; grandson, Joshua Jackson; 3 siblings, David (Sue) Grimes, Gail Nesbit, and Paul Grimes; brother-in-law, David Schierenbeck; and many nieces and nephews.
