Mar 25: OBITUARY - Grace Eileen Nunery

Note from Kim Drake - for those of you unfamiliar with Grace, she was 
best remembered as founder of Indiana Deaf Family Camps.  I met Grace 
once when I volunteered for Deaf Camp – a beautiful, warm, lovely lady, 
and a joy to “talk” to.  She will be missed.   

Obituary: Grace Eileen Nunery
The 1990 Indiana Jefferson Award winner for distinguished public 
service, Grace Eileen Nunery, 89, went home to the Lord Tuesday, March 
25, 2008 at her home in Indianapolis, IN.   The Indiana Jefferson Award, 
as well as the American Institute for Public Service Award, presented by 
Senator Dan Coates, was given for twenty years of sustained volunteer 
service to the Indiana deaf community.  She received numerous other 
awards for distinguished public volunteer service including the 1999 
Mayor Goldsmith Volunteer Partnership Award, Sertoma Service to Mankind 
Award, and the 1971 Goshen Outstanding Woman of the Year Award.
The first of three daughters, Grace was born December 11, 1918 in 
Cincinnati, Ohio.  She graduated as valedictorian of her college class 
at God’s Bible School in Cincinnati in 1939.
She was the beloved wife of Reverend C. Albert Nunery, and mother of 
Ruth (and Mike) Allford, David (and Debbie) Nunery, William (and 
Mathieu) Nunery, and Dorothy (and Timothy) Juergensen.  She cherished 
her family, and was blessed to have 18 grandchildren and 13 great 
grandchildren (including Aidan Sophia Hunt who preceded her in death).
Grace was a devoted minister’s wife, and founder of multiple deaf 
ministries including the deaf ministry at St. Luke’s United Methodist 
Church.  In 1973, Mrs. Nunery founded the Indiana Deaf Family Camp which 
still continues.  She later added a week long residential camp for deaf, 
h-o-h, and coda children, offering a wonderful camping experience for 
all, regardless of ability to pay.  She captured the hearts and changed 
the lives of many deaf people during her years of service.  It was her 
desire to show God’s grace and love always, and she will be remembered 
by many as “our Amazing Grace.”
A celebration of her life will be held at 10:30 am, Saturday, March 29, 
2008 at St. Luke’s UMC with pastor Kent Millard officiating.  Calling 
will be from 4-8 pm on Friday, March 28, 2008 at Leppert Mortuary, 740 
E. 86th Street, as well as the hour preceding the funeral service at St. 
Luke’s United Methodist Church on Saturday.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to 
Indiana Deaf Camp Foundation, 100 W. 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN  46260.

If you are interested in sharing your thoughts and memories of Grace 
Nunery, there is an online Guest Book to write that in.  I’m sure the 
family and friends would appreciate reading how Grace has touched your life.
