Grace Marx, 1936-2007

By David Marx When I think of Grace, I see her doing what she loved most. I see her transplanting her flowers in her beautiful flower beds with Will close by leaning on his spade. I see her planting trees and patting the dirt here, there, until the tree was absolutely straight with Willy close by leaning on his spade. I remember Grace with an ice cream pail picking dandelions by the thousands so they wouldn’t go to seed in her beautiful flower gardens. Willy was close by leaning on his spade! By Willie A. Marx, David Marx, Paulette Marx, Kristel Sloan Grace was born in South Korea on Nov. 24, 1936. Grace had four sisters and three brothers. She emigrated to the United States in the early 1970s. Grace met Willy in 1982 and they were married on July 31, 1984. Willy and Grace resided in Big Prairie until her passing. Some of Grace’s passions were singing, cooking and the planting of flowers and trees. Other interests included fashion dress making, tennis, and cooking. She kept the family supplied with sushi and egg rolls which we could never get enough of. Grace touched the hearts of many both young and old through her kind and caring nature. She was always willing to listen and offer kind and thoughtful words of encouragement. Grace is survived by her husband Willy, daughter Kristel and husband Jeffrey, gra- ndson Nicholas, and son Jetta and his wife, Rachel. Our amazing Grace was laid to rest at the St. Vladimir Cemetery, very close to her home and her gardens.
