She was born Aug. 21, 1920, in Dayton, Ohio, to George W. and Kittie Erbaugh Myers. On Feb. 28, 1942, she married the love of her life, Adam Edward “Eddie” Grill. He preceded her in death on Dec. 8, 1987.
She was a longtime resident of Dayton, where she and Eddie were extremely active in Grace Brethren church activities. She was also the owner of the highly successful Dayton Nutra Foods health food store. She was noted for using the proceeds from that store to support missionaries and pastors throughout America and the world.
Grace College was one of the true passions of Kittie’s life and she displayed an “irrational attachment” to that institution. Since the early 1960s, she was an enthusiastic prayer warrior for, and financial donor to, the college.
She was a member of Winona Literary Club and Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church. Most important to Kittie was her relationship to Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. One could not be in her presence very long without hearing about the miracle of salvation through Christ as well as her devotion to the reality that “all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
She was unusually devoted to her family and will be lovingly remembered by her son, Stephen (wife Susan) Grill, Winona Lake; daughter-in-law, Becky Grill, Winona Lake; grandson, Josh (wife Amy) Grill, Winona Lake; grandchildren: Anna Grill, Ethan Grill, Sarah Roy, Brad Pickens and Evan Pickens; as well as three great-grandchildren.
She was preceded by her parents; husband; and a son, E. Michael Grill, in 2013.
Her funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, 225 Argonne Road, Warsaw, and officiated by the Rev. Tom Julien and the Rev. Dick Anderson. A private family graveside service will take place at Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw.
Visitation will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday at the funeral home.
