Cynthia H. Grace, 69, of Marion, died of cancer at home around 2 a.m. on January 13. She was an impossibly excellent mother, gifted family therapist and devoted and beloved wife.

Her husband, Nicholas A. Grace, survives as do her daughter, J. Catherine Blagden, of Los Angeles, California, her son, Crawford Blagden, III, of Sussex, England and their respective spouses as well as three lovely granddaughters.

A gathering of remembrance will held at her home on what would have been her next birthday, August 17.
