Elizabeth A. Grimm

Elizabeth Ann Grimm was ushered into the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, June 14, 2019. She was born on August 9, 1928 in Elkhart, Indiana to Alvin and Edith (Barnhart) Rassi. Elizabeth’s husband Warren Arden Grimm went to be with the Lord on June 2, 1998.

Elizabeth graduated from Milford High School, Class of 1946. She maintained contact with several of her elementary school and high school friends over the years. Elizabeth met Warren on a church youth retreat; they started dating, and then married six months later on June 27, 1948. Following a week-long honeymoon to the west coast, they planned to settle down on a farm and live happily ever after. However, Warren contracted rheumatoid arthritis necessitating their relocation to Tucson, Arizona in 1951. After a year in Tucson Warren’s health improved, but he was unable to find work. They then relocated to Phoenix and raised their family of three sons (Larry, Steven, and David) in the Valley of the Sun.

Elizabeth is survived by Larry (Ann) Grimm of Prescott, Arizona; Steven Grimm of Sun City West, Arizona; and David (Catherine) Grimm of Cave Creek, Arizona. Grandchildren (Amanda, Kirsten, Christopher, and Brittany) and Great Grandchildren (Aurora, Owen, Luna, and Elizabeth) filled Elizabeth’s home and heart with joy.

Elizabeth belonged to Grace Bible Church, Sun City, Arizona, since 1988. Over the years, she actively served in various churches as a Deaconess, in Women’s Ministry, as well as Sunday School Teacher, a Vacation Bible School Teacher, and in Women’s Bible Studies. Elizabeth’s ministries extended to her gracious hospitality, delicious meals, tasty baked goods, and creative handcrafts.

Elizabeth is preceded in death by her parents, and husband.
