Passed away peacefully at the age of 81 surrounded by her 3 children.  Grace was born in San Clara Manitoba, to parents George and Alice Murray.  She was widowed by her loving husband Morris Chrapun.  They married August 10, 1962.

Grace grew up in San Clara, MB and attended Teacher's College in Winnipeg, MB.  She was a beloved teacher at Joseph H Kerr School for 33 years.  She shaped many young lives and the "Grade 3 Trip" will forever be part of the school's history.  She was a very active community member.  Many organizations benefited from her dedication including the Royal Canadian Legion, Senior Centre President, Golf Course, Curling Club, Greenstone, Minor hockey and town council for many years.

Grace's life was mostly about her family and friends.   She enjoyed card games, golfing, curling, pontooning, reading and fishing.  She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, and all the comradery of life in a close knit northern community.  While her kids were growing up, you were sure to find Grace at the rink watching them play hockey or figure skate.  Some would say it was her second home.  She carried this tradition on with her grandchildren, watching and cheering at their sporting events.
