Grace Page

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Grace Perkins Page was born October 11, 1914 in Red Wing Minnesota and died May 1, 2011. She began this 96 year life on a farm surrounded by the large families of her father Timothy Perkins and her mother Lucy Featherstone. Enabled by a princely scholarship of $25, she was able to attend Hamline University in St. Paul where she met Clarence Page. They married in 1938 and moved with Firestone to several states before ending in Ohio in 1952.

She made many loving, life-long friends as a Girl Scout leader, an active quilter at the First United Methodist Church, and a member of PEO. She created her own designs for hundreds of unique and beautiful "Page Bags" whose owners will now treasure them. She was intuitive, nurturing, endlessly kind and a steadfast friend. She was self-effacing, frugal and attentive to details. She was a wonderful correspondent and treasured receiving letters from others.

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters and their husbands Peggy and Bob Springer and Patsy and Bob Moyer and their children Kari and Matt Beery, Todd and Gina Springer, Vanessa Moyer and Mark Mills, and Cassandra Reeder, and her great-grandchildren Quinn and Grace Springer, Carson and Spencer Reeder and Emerson and Olivia Beery.

Her memorial service will be at 12:00 noon on Friday, May 6 at the First United Methodist Church, 245 Portage Trail, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221. Friends who wish to talk to family members are invited to come at 11:00 a.m. before the service and remain for lunch after the service. Should you wish, send a donation to the First United Methodist Church rather than flowers and half will be sent to help those whose lives were shattered by the recent tornadoes. Grace would approve.
