Greer Baber Grace

Greer Baber Grace, 72, passed away August 31, 2025. On August 26, Greer danced at this summer season’s last Tuesdays in the Plaza in Healdsburg, California, where for the past 23 years she has spent summers with her husband Barnett Grace. Again, this year, she went with Barnett and friends to the annual Pink Flamingo Party held on the Healdsburg Plaza - an event she loved. All seemed fine until Thursday, August 28, when she began feeling poorly and went to a walk-in clinic which sent her to the Healdsburg Emergency Room for blood work. She was transported that night to a hospital in Santa Rosa, California. She was in good spirits. Friday morning, she was diagnosed with acute leukemia and, as arrangements were being made to bring her to UAMS for treatment, she suffered an inoperable brain hemorrhage. Family was by her side when she died on Sunday, August 31, 2025. 

A memorial service will be held at 4:00 PM on September 12, 2025, at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church (4823 Woodlawn Drive). For those unable to attend, the service will be streamed at www.phumc.com.
