I just read this on the 46er mail-list.
For the many who had corresponded with Grace while climbing the ADK-46, may I say that she will be sadly missed.
God Bless you Grace - May there be unclimbed peaks awaiting you in heaven.
From the 46er mail-list, (L. John Van Norden):
Now Climbing the Celestial Hills . . .
GRACE LEACH HUDOWALSKI (No. 9)
February 25, 1906 - March 13, 2004
Good Climbing Grace!
Dear friends: Our beloved Grace passed away quietly this morning at 9:45 AM. I had stayed with her all night and most of the past several days we had arranged for friends to alternate sitting by her bedside. She was well sedated and felt no pain.
Funeral arrangements are being coordinated by the Tebbutt's Funeral Home in Albany. We will review what Grace re-planned in the 1970s this afternoon to finalize the funeral. I realize this may disrupt the winter gathering, but the only available date for the funeral is next Saturday, March 20th. I can't ask the funeral director to hold Grace longer than that.
The funeral will be at Grace's Church, Trinity Methodist in Albany. I will try to select a time that will allow those of you who would like to attend to travel to Albany for the funeral. After the funeral Grace will be interred beside her beloved Ed Hudowalski (No. 6) at Memory Garden on the West side of Albany.
I will post more details as we firm them up. Thank you for your prayers.
