She predeceased by her husband David Duguid, her sister Linda Fedorysyzn, her brother-in-law Charles Fedorysyzn, and her nephew Matthew Fedorysyzn.
Grace was known for her love of her family. Grace was a caregiver to many from a young age. She helped in taking care of her younger cousins and nieces, and nephews. In her later years, "Gwacie" was an important part of her beloved Dylan's life. "Gwacie" and Dylan were quite the pair and shared a unique bond. He was the apple of her eye, and she loved him dearly.
Grace, Gracie, Grapes was a presence and loved by many. We will miss her dearly but are grateful for the time that we had to spend with her. Her love will live on in our hearts and in everyone that she touched. Her memories will forever be a blessing.
The Family would like to thank all those involved her in care over the past year. Without the love, care, and compassion that you all provided we would not have had as much time with her as we did.
