Grace E. (Motter) Test, 96, of Punxsutawney passed away on Sunday, September 3, 2023. She was born in Big Run on April 24, 1927 and was the daughter of Fred and Clare (Fireman) Motter. She was married to Anthony F. Test and was co-owner with him of The Matterhorn Company.

Grace was a 1945 graduate of Punxsutawney High School and after graduation worked as a secretary at the Pentagon. Later, she returned to Punxsy and worked at various jobs until she married Anthony. Grace was the mother of five children and a member of Saints Cosmas & Damian Roman Catholic Church.

After raising her children, she graduated from Punxsy Beauty School and worked as a beautician for many years. Grace enjoyed gardening, reading, traveling and spending time with her family, especially putting puzzles together with her great grandson and “little buddy”, Jayven. She was a wonderful and loving mother and a very kind person with an engaging smile.  The family thanks Senior Assist, Mahoning Riverside Manor and Hospice 365 for all the wonderful care they gave our Mother.
