OBITUARY: Grace Tanner Dodge 1912-2003
Grace Dodge
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, May 20 for Grace Dodge, age 90, of Rock Falls at the Old Stone United Methodist Church in Rock Falls with Rev. Lisa Locoh officiating. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery in Rudd. Grace Dodge (Grandma Farm) died Thursday, May 15, 2003 at Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit in Mason City.
Grace was born September 20, 1912 in Floyd, the daughter of Jess and Bonnie (Miller) Tanner. She was raised in the Orchard area by her mother Bonnie and step-father Frank Hoel. A special aunt, Luraine Miller lived with them.
Dancing was Grace's favorite entertainment growing up. She attended Orchard School until she married Maurice Dodge on April 5, 1930 in Charles City.
Maurice and Grace farmed in Chickasaw, Rudd and Fredericksburg before moving to the farm southwest of Rock Falls in 1974. Grace was still living on the farm until the day she fell and was taken to the hospital May 9.
Besides helping with the farming and raising eight children, she enjoyed painting and teaching Artex. Starting in 1978 she began making ornaments for Christmas for each family member. This past year she made over 110 for her large family, most being her own designs. In the summer planting and caring for her flowers and trees and watching trumpet vine climb to the top of her evergreen tree were her joy. She always was taking care of everyone else in her family. Her greatest enjoyment was her large family as she was an only child.
Preceding Grace in death were her mother and her stepfather Frank Hoel, her husband Maurice, son Jerry Lee Dodge, special aunt Luraine Miller, stepbrother Louis Hoel, son-in-law Sam Sauve and two grandsons Kim and Andy Showalter.
She is survived by four daughters: Marjorie and husband Everett Showalter of Osage and their three children: Tim and two children Kris (Liza) Showalter, their daughter Darian; Heather Showalter; Cheryl (Stan) Webb) and their two children; Troy, Tamara (Ken) Pogin; Cherie (Court) Ehrhardt and her two children Andy Anderson and Neils Anderson and his daughter Savannah; Kathlene and her husband Dee Jay Hillman of Rock Falls and her four children Curt (Mardi) Sauve and their two children Ashley (Zach) Davis, Matt Sauve, Kent Sauve and his daughter Brigitte, Kendall (Beth) Sauve and their daughter Paige, Kaylene (Chris) Ahrens and their two children Mikayla and Tegan, stepson James Hillman and friend Roxanne Francis; Kathryn and husband John Deets of Mason City and her four children Renae (Dean) Stadtlander and their two sons Tyler and Alex, Amy (Daniel) Weitzel and their three sons Zachary, Brandon and Blake; Chad (Holly) Kahler and their two sons Mac and Sam, Tonya (Tony) Spencer and their two children Tiffanyand Taylor, two stepsons Chris (Julia) Deets and their children Andrew and Anna; Brad (Amber) Deets; Bonnie Gail and her husband Larry Corkery of Neosho, MO and her son Jason (Tara) Knowler and three stepchildren Susan, Andy and Milissa and Milissa's two children Stephanie and Tyler; three sons Dick Dodge and his wife Barb of Marshalltown and three stepchildren, Douglas Cook and his two children Shannon and Chris, Bruce (Doris) Cook and their four children Karla, Lindsey, Shelby, Matthew, Stacy (Scott) Williams and their three children Sckylar, Shantel, Shayla; Bill Dodge and his wife Bonnie of Nora Springs and their four children Cindy (Rick Bever, Karen (Mark) Achenbach and their two children Amanda and Andy, Kevin and friend Lori, Billi Ka Dodge and her two children Jacob and Gage; Jim Dodge and his wife Delores of Mason City and their three children Brenda (Aaron) Griffiths and their three children Jordan, Tyler, Samantha, James Allen (Cathy) Dodge and their three children Justin, Jeremy, Clarissa, Jeff Dodge and his fiance Jennifer and his son Ezra; Jerry's four children Vickie (Keith) Benhardt and their four children, Stephanie, Cody, Emma, Adam, Jerry, Monica and her fiance Chris Bestman and son Rafe, Lee and his friend Sarah, Grace E.
