Grace Elizabeth Roguska, 24, went to be with God on November 8th, 2024 in Midland, Michigan. She was born June 16th, 2000, in Petoskey, Michigan to parents Randy and Christine. Grace graduated from Harbor Springs High School in 2018 and went on to earn her bachelor's degree in business from Western Governors University. Grace was a generous and gentle soul who spent her days caring for her family, pups, and community. She will be remembered for her kindness that enabled everyone she encountered to feel special and loved. Her natural charm, whit, quirkiness and humor were also amongst her best qualities. She had a passion for photography, interior design, architectural history, and spending time outdoors. Grace enjoyed going for drives while listening to music, thrifting, and coffee shop visits. Her favorite moments were spent at home with her partner, David, and their two dogs, Basil and Bug.
Grace will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her partner David, mother Christine (Joe), father Randy (Svetlana), siblings Scott (Diana), Jeff (Sarah), Dana (Bobbie), nieces and nephews Steven, Nathan, Aurelia, Rosalynd, and Gideon, extended family and dear friends. Grace was preceded in death by her grandparents Eric and Shirley, Maury and Helvi, uncles Mark and Gary, her aunt Lori, cousins Lea and Troy.
Funeral service will be held at 11am on Friday November 15th at St. Jude Parish, 1120 4 Mile Rd NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525. Visitation with the family will take place one hour prior to the service at St. Jude.
To know Grace was to love Grace. Her family hopes those who are grieving her loss can find comfort through the words of the Bible.
"So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take that joy from you" John 16:22.

Grace embodied her name. She was so kind and gentle. The world is a little darker without her here with us shining bright. I know she is still shing her light from heaven and will never die - she will always live in our hearts. love you sweet Grace

Grace was the most gentle soul I had ever met. Her laugh was contagious and she always made sure everyone felt included. She just brought life everywhere she went. I´m going to miss her every day.

Grace was more than kind and welcoming. Starting a new job I was quiet and shy and Grace always had kind words to share with me and was always there for anyone at anytime of day. Most genuine and caring person

Grace was such a kind and smart young woman. I looked up to her in many ways in the little time we knew each other. My thoughts go out to her closest friends and family during this difficult time.

Grace was one of the kindest people I've ever known. Though our friendship was short, she left an indescribable impact on me. I wish I could have been there for her even more so. Her memory will last in all of us whose lives she made a little bit brighter.

Grace was a very kind, funny, and true friend. She always made sure those around her felt welcome and special. I had heard about Grace before we had ever even met. Everyone would always ask me if I knew her and before I could reply they´d start gushing about how much they adored her. When we did finally meet I understood just how special of a person she was. Quick to offer a helping hand or a smile, she brightened the world around her. Grace will be deeply missed and forever loved.

The first time I met Grace she invited me to the Sault for her birthday. I didn´t know her but i knew her instagram username was `Grace likes/loves plants" so i gifted her a plant and from then on we stayed good friends- even moving to mount pleasant at the same time was wonderful to have a friend down there.
