It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Louise Gracyk on June 12, 2026. Louise was born on June 18, 1941, in Cleveland, Ohio and called Geauga County home her entire life. Growing up the oldest of three, she helped care for and dearly loved her younger siblings. A trait she would carry throughout her life, as she became a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Louise truly lived her life devoted to faith and family. She enjoyed attending Sunday services at Chardon Christian Fellowship, drawing, playing Yahtzee, watching her favorite shows and movies, and driving around looking at beautiful homes. She loved listening to Dolly Parton; her music, her life story, and her compassion for others. Louise found beauty in nature. She had a passion for the wellbeing of others. She gave generously to help the welfare of animals; especially donkeys and elephants. She was generous, kind, and taught those who loved her what the word "grace" really means. Her love will live on in those graced by her presence
