Grace was born on March 26, 1928, in Charles City, the daughter of Willard and Golda (Wilson) Hennick. She graduated from Floyd High School. On December 13, 1945, Grace married Kenneth Stiles, in Austin, Minnesota, and to this union 5 children were born.

Grace worked side-by-side with her husband on the farm and in their business for many years. She and her husband Red were co-owners of the Rudd Lumber and Hardware, where she worked as a bookkeeper. She also had her own business utilizing her talent in wallpapering and painting, but she felt her greatest responsibility was that of homemaker.

Grace loved to cook and enjoyed sharing her baked goods with others, she was an avid card player who could play all-night long, a voracious reader, a sports enthusiast, especially when the Iowa Hawkeyes were playing, and a talented quilter. Grace was a star basketball player and transferred her affection for the game from a player to a fan. She loved watching her kids and grandkids participate in activities and would never miss an event. Grace’s grandkids always loved how fun and witty she was even in her final days, but above all she will forever be remembered for her generosity and kindheartedness.

She is survived by her children: William (Michelle) Stiles, Trabuco, California, Randall (Kay) Stiles, Rockwell, Sue Ann (Steven) Lockwood, Greenville, South Carolina, and Michael (Jackie) Stiles, Rudd; eight grandchildren; four great grandchildren; her brothers: Elden Hennick, Charles City, Bud (Marie) Hennick, Charles City, Ronald (Sandy) Hennick, Floyd; her sisters Vera Cerwinskie, Nashua, and Shirley Erbe, Maxwell; and numerous nieces and nephews.
