Grace Huffman Obituary

We are sad to announce that on January 31, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Grace Huffman (Des Moines, Iowa). Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Grace Huffman to show support.

As we bid Grace farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Grace is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Clifford Swasick and Cordia Swasick; her husband Donald Huffman; her daughter Mary Jo Sater; her sister Marilyn Brooks; and her close friend LaVerne Warren.

She is survived by: her sons, Lloyd Huffman and Michael Huffman. She is also survived by six grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, February 12th 2025 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Hamilton's Southtown Funeral Home (5400 SW 9th St, Des Moines, IA 50315). A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, February 12th 2025 at 2:00 PM at the same location. A burial will be held on Thursday, February 13th 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Shaul Cemetery (1339 Bluegrass Rd, Ottumwa, IA 52501).
