Grace Jara (Nee: Hills), a successful businesswoman and accomplished artist, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2024, in Doylestown, PA at the age of 94. Grace was born on October 23, 1929, in Santiago, Chile.
Throughout her life, Grace embodied creativity and a love for exploration. As an Assistant to the President of Harrison Conference Services, she brought both professionalism and passion to her work. Grace's interests were vast and varied, from sketching in pencil to sculpting, oil painting to watercolor and Lithography with a write up on her accomplishments in the New York Times. She found joy in traveling to destinations like Switzerland, France, Germany, and Greece with her late daughter Pauline and her family.
Grace cherished moments spent at the beach, indulging in her love for all things artistic, from classical music to outdoor shows and flea markets. Her compassionate spirit extended to animals, and she delighted in horseback riding and the company of her beloved pets.
Preceded in death by her husband Raul Jara and her daughter Pauline Waller. Grace is survived by her loving children Chris Jara, Sr. (Valerie Sayers), Dominique Landis (Eric), Rod Jara, Marc Jara (Elise) and her son in law Chris Waller, along with her grandchildren, Chrissy Murphy (Ryan), Chris Jara, Jr., Erica Landis (Rebekah Blekney), Stephen Landis (Noel), Rhea Jara, Stephanie Jara, Nick Jara and Jessica Jara and great-grandchildren, Emma Murphy, Maddy Murphy and Claire Murphy.
