Grace Ann Harrison passed away on April 26, 2022 at the age of 76 years old. Grace Ann was born to Dryden and Joan Carman in Pryor, Oklahoma on November 5th, 1945. Growing up she attended Vinita Public Schools where she met the love of her life Jack Harrison while attending Vinita High School. After graduation the two were married on October 12, 1964. After Jack’s military service, they lived in Lawton, a short stay in Pryor before ultimately making their forever home in Claremore, Oklahoma. There they raised their two wonderful children Jackie and Jeff. Grace Ann was always very active in her life and her kids' lives. She loved to travel all over to watch Jeff, Jackie, or any opportunity she had to support those in different endeavors of their lives. Later, she would become famous for the cookies she would make for the players of the teams she would follow and this gesture always made a lasting impression. She was a selfless person and would do anything for anybody, always considering others needs before her own.
Grace Ann loved managing the Cafeteria at Claremore Public Schools where she impacted so many students' lives and made long lasting relationships with all those she came in contact with. She would combine her love of collecting anything Zebra related with her office in the cafeteria, which would eventually spread into the rest of the cafeteria. She also loved working the ticket booth for all of the baseball games at Legion Field in Claremore, Oklahoma with her faithful fur baby, QT, by her side. There she enjoyed the fans, coaches, and all of the players that came through the gate.
