Grace Mae Ridings

Notes:

Grace Ridings Cupp was 5' 2" and weighed about 100 lbs. She had a small
bone frame. She had dark hair and blue eyes. She was a pretty lady. She
liked everything neat and clean around her. She had an eating problem.
She didn't want to gain any weight...and stayed skinny until she passed
away. Even people at normal weights looked fat to her. Right, wrong or in
the middle...in every situation... Aunt Grace was on my side of things.
She always showed me love and respect...and I'll always miss her.
________________________________________
Grady and Grace Ridings Cupp went on many camping and fishing trips. Aunt
Grace loved the camping...but hated the fishing. She couldn't stand the
smell of fish.
________________________________________
Aunt Grace died of cancer. She didn't go for check ups with her doctor.
Because of this...she lost her life. The cancer started in her uterus and
had spread into her pelvis bone by the time she visted her doctor. It was
too late for surgery.
