Later, they owned a live bait shop and continued to work together, catching and selling minnows. their next venture was to purchase Northwestern Flying Services with Ralph managed while Grace acted as receptionist and bookkeeper. Grace enjoyed her home on Lake of the Woods, her garden, her church, the great outdoors and time spent with family.

In 2004, Grace moved to Thunder Bay to make her home with her daughter, Bev Cadene, although Nestor Falls would always be “home”. She continued to enjoy her walks, gardening and berry picking. Just last summer she went canoeing and fishing (and caught and reeled in her limit). She also became an avid reader and enjoyed lively discussions as an honorary member of Bev‘s book club.
