C. Grace Bischak
It is with extreme sadness that we announce the death of our dear mother Grace Bischak, who passed away at home surrounded by her loved ones on Saturday after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Her wonderful sweet personality made her instantly loved by everyone that ever met her, and she will be dearly missed by her devoted family, as well as many lifelong friends.
She was a member of the Oak Grove Lutheran Church and a long time member of the Big Knob Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and also was the president of the Beaver County Ladies Auxiliary.
