She passed peacefully and surrounded by her family. Grace is survived by her adoring and loving husband John Rogers Eldridge with whom she shared over 66 years of marriage.

Grace was the Queen of the Eldridge family. Her humor and sass were priceless but above all her love for her family was unprecedented. Her greatest joy came from family celebrations where she and John would be surrounded by family. She could often be found at her grandchildren's ball games, recitals, birthday parades & weddings. Gracie's cooking was enviable with her spaghetti & meatballs, chicken divan & American chop suey being staples at Thursday night dinners at Grammy's.
