Obituary of Grace Cressman

It is with great sadness that the family of Grace Cressman announces her passing on July 14, 2017 at Golden Years Nursing Home, Cambridge at the age of 95.

Grace was the last surviving child of Jack and Eva (Baer) Francis.

Born in Waterloo Township in 1922. She married Carl Cressman. They spent their time with a wide circle of friends playing cards, curling, travelling and many trips to Chesley Lake for weekends with friends in their Rook club. Grace and Carl loved to entertain where her love of cooking resulted in wonderful dinner parties. She enjoyed time with her grandsons going to their sports games and babysitting. Grace and Carl spent time in Nova Scotia where Carl was transferred through work and there met several friends through the curling club in Dartmouth, who then came to Ontario to visit.

She will be greatly missed by her son David (Pam), grandsons Glen and Tom (Jaime); great-granddaughters Nora and Zoey. Grace also leaves behind several nieces and nephews.

Grace was predeceased by her husband Carl in 2005, her brother Edward (1976), sister Vi Cressman (2016) and brother-in-law Cecil (2000).
