Grace Klie (nee Wilson) age 89, of Wayne passed peacefully at home on Tuesday, August 29, 2017.
She was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in the town of Dover, Massachusetts. Grace graduated as Valedictorian from Dover High School and went on to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She was only sixteen years old when she started college. Grace graduated from Cornell with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Home Economics. While at Cornell she met Frederick Klie. Fred and Grace married on June 24, 1950 in Madison, NJ. They enjoyed fifteen years together before his untimely passing in 1965.
Grace was a stay at home mom raising two children Fred and Gretchen. When the children were young she supplemented her income working two nights a week at the Wayne Adult School. She later worked for the Packanack Co-Operative Nursery School in Wayne, the Theunis Dey School on Parish Drive in Wayne and finally for Chase Bank’s administrative offices on Valley Road in Wayne.
Grace was a long time member of the Packanack Community Church in Wayne. Over the years, Grace enjoyed the company of her numerous beloved dogs. They were a constant source of companionship and she often got a great kick out of their loving antics.
She was the loving wife of the late Frederick Klie (1965); devoted mother of Fred Klie of Wayne, and the late Gretchen E. Lape (1999); she was the adored grandmother of Stevie and Rick Klie.
