Jeanette Grice Obituary

I moved from Colorado Springs in 1974 when I married the love of my life. I made many return trips to Colorado Springs to visit and to attend class reunions, and ever visit Jeanette was the first person I called. We had so much fun and so many laughs. She was such a special person and friend. She never forgot a birthday card, or Christmas card or just cause she was thinking of me. So many times I have gone to the phone to call her to share something with her and then remember she is gone. I truly miss my VERY SPECIAL FRIEND. May she be resting in the arms of Jesus!

Lost a very great friend. We met working at Colorado College - and I just a new comer to colorado springs. Miss our good times together - your great smile and generous heart.
You are with the Lord and so free - Miss you - MaryAnn Bidwell (Wisconsin)

I served on the La Casa Contenta and Hallando board with Jeanette. I valued the time I spent with her and other members making things happen. She had a great sense of humor and we all admired the input and advice she brought to the table. She was well liked and respected for the work she did in the community. Her family was so important to her and I'm glad my wife Karyl and I came to know all of them.
Condolences and sympathy go out to all the family

My Aunt Pinkie was so very sweet. My son Daniel, began calling her "Grandma Pinkie" even though she was his great aunt, it was just her nurturing spirit toward all who were endearing to her.

My Aunt Pinky ... Just the thought of my aunt makes me smile , so many memories of her , cheering from the side lines at Jimmy's soccer games , putting rollers in mine and Karen's hair on Saturday night for church the next day . I asked her once what was in the old freezer downstairs and she told me ," that's where I keep the Girl Scouts " , we had the same kind of humor . Aunt Pinky took care of me in the summers when I was there and I always felt welcome , not a guest welcome but like I was her own and I knew she loved me . I wish I could have spent more time with her . Aunt Pinky will always be a good memorie. For me , I love that lady .

Aunt Pinkie,
I will always remember your Gremlin (Long live AMC lol) and your curlers. Mostly I remember your infrequent smiles and laughs, your love of CC, and your guidance. I will miss you always.

My Dearest Friend, I have missed our visits for the last few years and the sound of your voice. We grew up together and so did our kids at least for a while. You and your family have always been so special. The precious memories of school dances and sharing a Margarita or two and giggles about so many things. Secrets shared and wonderful memories since First Communion and continuing for years after graduation. I will miss you forever but am so thankful for the memories. I love you forever. At long last you are out of pain and resting in the Loving Arms of Jesus. Your forever friend, Judy Kochman McClain

Truly a devoted grandmother who loved all the children in the family unconditionally. She made a great impact on all of them. I am happy that they will have her in their memories and hearts.

My first encounter with Mrs. Grice was a memorable one. I was probably 10 or 11 years old and playing with Jim in his back yard. We were probably throwing the football (Morton to Moses) or shooting hoops on his basket attached to a big tree.

Even though Jim was supposed to stay in his back yard, the alley was calling and we drifted out of his back yard and down the alley at least 4 or 5 houses to see what kind of trouble we could get into... then it happened... a loud voice came from the direction of his house "JIMMY!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!? YOU BETTER GET YOUR BUTT HOME!! NOW!!!" Immediately, Jim sprinted towards his house and I split in the other direction towards my house. Holy Moly!! I don't think we ever ran as fast as we did that day. LOL!! I am also pretty sure we never drifted out of his back yard again the whole summer. LOL!!

Thanks Mrs. Grice for keeping all of us punk neighborhood kids from getting into too much trouble with Jim that summer. Jim, I am so sorry for your loss.

My Dearest Friend,
I consider myself priveleged to have known you and been able to call you my friend. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I am saddened at your passing but comforted at the fact that you are now at peace. My heartfelt prayers to your family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace.

I was in the same graduating class with Jeanette however I left Colorado Springs right after high school. My dad was transferred back to the east coast. But almost all of the communications from the class came from Jeanette or a committee she was on. She had a big part in keeping us all together. I was able to get to many of the later reunions because of her. I thank her (and the committee) for organizing those great reunions and for sending the many emails involved. May she rest in peace.

Sending love and prayers For my classmate and her family. Jeanette will be missed. She was a special lady. Mary Starsmore Hahn

Prayers of comfort for Jeanette's family.
I graduated with Jeanette and remember her well. Rest in peace my friend.

Much love to Jeanette's family. She was a loving and brave soul. I am so glad I got to be in high school with her and to know and love her all these year. Barbara Grindinger Carter.

Jeanette and I have been very good friends for many years, I will miss her in my visits to Colorado Springs, at least 1-2 times every year and our weekly phone visits. Jeanette was a special person, she loved her family. I know she will be in peace and suffer no more. We had some fun times getting to lunch with her big oxygen tank and Denny taking us for ice cream - we will remember her. Love to Jeanette and the family who will miss her. Jane and Denny Young

Mrs Grice was a wonderful person and good friend to many other soccer moms. May she RIP!!

I graduated with Jeanette from St Mary's and remember her well. My prayers go to her and her family.
