Linda C. Grace, 73

Linda C. Grace, 73, departed this earth Nov. 28, 2020.

Born Nov. 7, 1947, she was a daughter of her beloved late parents, Monford and Audria (Johnston) Dodd.

She spent most of her life’s journey in living in Carroll County and grew up in Perrysville. She often shared many fond memories of her childhood, including riding her bike, visiting family and friends and walking to the historical Perrysville Methodist Episcopal Church and going inside to talk to God. She was thrilled whenever she came across an article that the historical society was restoring the old church.

She graduated from Scio High School in 1965. She worked as a nurse at Carroll Golden Age Retreat and held memberships with the Republican Party and the NRA. She enjoyed listening to oldies music, reading, watching the Hallmark Channel and visiting family. She always held a special place in her heart for animals and loved her cat, Milo, dearly.

She is survived by her daughter, Angela (Alan) Smith; and three grandchildren, Tyler Smith, Leah Becinski and Nathanael Roberts.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Kristin (Grace) Roberts; son-in-law, Richard Roberts; and her former husband of 25 years and friend, Gavin Grace.

The family will hold a graveside service Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. in the new Perrysville Cemetery. Dodds Funeral Home in Carrollton handled arrangements.
