After his death, she lived in Battle Creek, Michigan and later married James Clark who also preceded her in death. After her marriage to Raymond Grant, they lived in Richmond, IN. He preceded her in death in 2001.

She was also a faithful volunteer at a local senior adult center. In retirement, Mrs. Grant cheerfully shared with others the knowledge and experience gained as a retail industry associate for over thirty years.
Totally devoted to family, she was a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. To continue her legacy of generosity and love are three sisters, Elizabeth Adams Bert, Annie Ruth Adams Green, Augusta; Myrtis Adams Roberts, Atlanta; and a brother, Arthur Adams of Augusta; a stepson, Jerry (Janet) Wilson, Battle Creek, MI; and step daughter-in-law, Blondelle Grant, Carson, CA; beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
