Grace Anna Maucher was born on January 18, 1884, in Heartwell, Nebraska to George and Susanna E Reiff Maucher. She met and married David Oscar Downer on August 12, 1906, in Manzanola, Colorado and they started their family of five - Rachel, Thomas, Dorothy, Leroy and Warren.
Grace was very soft-spoken, but an excellent match for David. Her quiet ways often won many lively debates at the dinner table. She was an excellent seamstress and would go window shopping at Wylie's Department Store in downtown Hutchinson, Kansas. When she saw a dress she liked she bought the material and went home and made it - without a pattern or a second glance. Her work was impeccable. She was also an excellent cook and no one ever left her table hungry. Of all the wonderful dishes she made, her turkey gravy was unmatched.
She died on March 30, 1964 at a nursing home in Erie, Kansas near her daughter, Dorothy. She was brought back to Concordia to be buried next to David.
