Grace attended school in Vilas, Colorado where she met the love of her life, Chester Doyle.  They eloped to Clayton, New Mexico and were married on May 1st, 1950.  Soon thereafter Rick, Neil, Jeff and Theresa were born.  They lost an infant daughter Baby Mary in 1956.  The family lived in Springfield, Colorado Springs and Leadville where Chet worked as a roofer, for Cross Hydraulics, and for the Highway department.  They then relocated to Lamar, Colorado where Chet continued working for many years for the Highway department.  They built their  home where they continued to raise their family.  Over the years, Grace worked at Traders Grocery Store in Springfield, delivered the US mail, sold Tiara glass, was the Hallmark card lady and was a mom and a homemaker.

Grace had a love for shopping.  She couldn't pass up a bargain or an antique to add to her collection.  She was notorious for writing in her journal and keeping track of each phone all and interaction she had.  Grace had a collection of porcelain churches which she proudly displayed around her home.  She had quite the sense of humor.  Over the lats several months she met a lot of new people and many of them can attest to how much Grace made them laugh.  Grace often referred to herself as"Amazing Grace".

Grace was so proud to be a Potawatomi Indian.  She always made sure tell people she was Indian.  Grace and Chet did a lot of traveling and attended many pow-wows across the country.  She was also very proud to be from Southeast Colorado and often talked about how much she loved the prairie and where she was from.  She will be missed very much.
