Welcome to Grace In Words

At Grace in Words, we believe an obituary doesn’t have to follow a formula — it should feel like the person it’s written for.

Too often, obituaries sound the same: names, dates, and a polite list of facts. But every life is different — full of humor, love, mistakes, triumphs, and stories worth telling. So why should the final words sound like everyone else’s?

Here, we think outside the box.
Your loved one’s story might start in a kitchen filled with laughter, a garden blooming every spring, or a hospital hallway where compassion lived daily. It might include the small things that mattered most — the morning coffee routine, the loyal dog at their feet, the way they always said “I love you” twice.

Grace in Words is about writing obituaries that are as unique as the lives they honor — heartfelt, honest, and beautifully human.

Because remembering someone should feel like them — not like a template.

Ellen Marie Harper never met a stranger — only friends she hadn’t had coffee with yet. Born on a snowy March morning in 1956, Ellen spent her life bringing warmth to others through laughter, kindness, and a bottomless pot of coffee. She passed away peacefully on October 12, surrounded by those she loved most.

“Because a life this full deserves words that fit.
