Grace Clemans, 87, of Mill Creek, WA, died at home July 26, 2010 after an extended illness. She was a faithful and loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.
Grace was born in Seattle, WA on June 29, 1923, and grew up in Kenmore, WA, graduating from Bothell High School in 1941. After graduating from Edison Tech Business College, she worked as a secretary in the Morrison-Knudsen Construction Company offices in Seattle and in Anchorage, AK.
In 1945, Grace and Bill became reacquainted. They had lived on the same street in Kenmore for a few years as children, and were later in the same Bothell High graduating class. They were married in December 1945.
Grace and Bill had school-age children living in their home for 40 years – about half of that time in Startup, WA, and the other half of the time in their current Mill Creek home.
While living in Startup, Grace and Bill were active in the Startup Baptist Church (now Hillcrest Baptist in Sultan, WA). They have been active in the Mountain View Community Church since 1970 when it was known as the Silver Lake Community Church.
Grace is survived by Bill (Willis), her loving husband of 64 years. She is also survived by their six children; 19 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; her brother, Frank Shaver, of Kenmore; many nieces and nephews; many in-law family members; and a host of dear friends.
