Grace Louise Lutenberg was born in Jasonville, Indiana,
June 29, 1915, to William August & Ida Clara Lutenberg.
She was the youngest of four children. Completing her
early schooling at the Jasonville Seventh-day Adventist
Elementary school she went on to graduate from Jasonville
High School in 1933. She married the love of her life, Ernest
Roy Colburn, on July 19, 1936, in Jasonville. Born to them
were five children: Larry Roy, Janice Ilene, Philip Ray,
Ernest Jay and Kenneth Lee, all still living and so
appreciative of their faithful, fantastic parents.
Grace was a faithful, life-long member of the Seventhday
Adventist Church and served her Lord in many
community outreach endeavors. She was an excellent
homemaker and thrived in the kitchen no matter how many
people were ready to eat. She loved flower and vegetable
gardening and house plants, but her family was the joy of
her life. When in her 70's she cared for "the elderly,"
assisting them with grocery shopping, house cleaning,
cooking and baking, clothes washing, bill paying, check
book balancing, etc. Until age 96 she and her Lord were well
able to handle independent living.
She now peacefully sleeps in Jesus, awaiting His soon
return and the resurrection day when her Creator and
Redeemer will call her forth to eternal health, eternal life.
