Gracie was born in Greensboro, NC. Times were tough for her as a child.
However, when she was just 15 years old,
the universe delivered her soon-to-be-husband, Tom Page.
It was love at first sight. Shortly thereafter they had their first son, Michael. In
search of a better life, they held tight to each other and moved to Baltimore, MD.
The family grew with the additions of Tracy and Scott.
Later in life, they adopted a sweet little girl named Becky.
Over the course of a 65-year marriage, they created a happy life and
exemplified a true love story. Gracie did not hesitate to open her
heart and home to everyone, sharing love, kindness, friendship, and joy.
Gracie is pre-deceased by her husband, Tom, sons Michael and
Tracy and sister Rebecca Marchman. She is survived by her son,
Scott Page (Dirk Gilmore), daughter, Becky Stiles (Adam Stiles),
and beloved grandson Blake Stiles.
Please join us this Saturday, March 9th at Connelly Funeral Home of Essex.
We will gather at 10:30am. Her Celebration of Life will
begin at 11:00am. This will be followed by a final farewell service
at 1:00pm at Gardens of Faith Cemetery.
In a world that needs more “Gracies” right now, let’s come
together and share love, special memories, touching stories, and
heartfelt laughter to celebrate the life of this special lady.
