The following obituary was composed by Grace’s family:
Grace Esther Klick died Sunday, April 5th, 2026 at Einstein Hospital, Norristown. Grace was 69 years old and had been battling skin cancer for the past two years. She was born November 4th, 1956 in Oakland, California, daughter of the late Clair Hoifjeld and the late Virginia Hoifjeld (nee - Helberg). She is the beloved wife of Ronald Klick; mother of Brian Inzerello, Steve Inzerello and his wife Marisa, Deb Inzerello, and CJ Corbett and her husband Will; grandmother of Robby Inzerello and his wife Emma, and Paisley, Cadence, and Halas Inzerello, Ginger Griffeth, and Vivika Corbett.
Grace’s father was a Lutheran minister who relocated the family, including Grace, her older brother, Paul, and younger siblings Mark and Ruth, from California to Pennsylvania when Grace was very young. The entire family was gifted vocally and Grace and her siblings occasionally performed in church and even on radio. The family was deeply religious and devoted to service. Grace left home at 18 for a job in Lutheran services in Chicago. While there she met and married her first husband, Wayne. They raised four children, twin boys, Brian and Steve and two girls, Deb and Colleen. Grace was always seeking a closer relationship with God and eventually was baptized as a Jehovah Witness as was her husband. While Grace was inactive for a number of years, being a Witness remained a vital part of Grace for the rest of her life. She became a fulltime Pioneer and was a very active part of the Schaumburg, Illinois congregation with her second husband, Ron.
Besides being a gifted singer, Grace also was an accomplished guitarist, pianist and glockenspiel player. In addition she was also a songwriter. She was very active in theatre and enjoyed performing both on stage and supporting backstage. She was particularly fond of musicals, performing in Pajama Game, Cabaret and Mame among others. She met her husband Ron in community theatre and together they founded the Theatre of Purpose – a community theatre group they ran in the Chicagoland area for ten years which performed plays Grace wrote to raise awareness of various social issues and donating the proceeds to related charities. Later Grace began writing solely for Jehovah Witness Congregation productions to foster fellowship. She said those were her most rewarding theatre experiences.
Grace focused on a life of service and, later in life, she returned to school to complete an Associates Degree so that she could become a Certified Addictions Counselor. She found this experience of being able to help others through some of their most troubling times profoundly rewarding. She would often remain friends with clients for years afterward assisting them in their ongoing struggles with addiction and recovery.
Of her many roles in life, Grace’s favorite was as a mother. She was truly in her element while taking care of children. It was her bliss. Grace always considered caring for her children to be her greatest accomplishment. She could not be any prouder of how each turned into wonderful people, completely different from one another, but all manifesting that concern for others (and all of God’s creatures, great and small) which was at the core of Grace as a person. Later in life, just as she began battling cancer, an unexpected joy entered her life in the form of her youngest grandchild, Vivika. While Grace loved all of her grandchildren, and so greatly wished she could spend more time with each one, Vivika enjoyed living in the same house as her ‘Gigi’. Vivika, which means ‘alive’, brought much needed life to Grace in her time of deepest need. She was eternally grateful for this blessing.
I cannot say for certain if everyone would agree, but, for me, the first thing I think about when I think of Grace was her smile. Beaming, infectious, impossibly large, uncontrollable, filled ear to ear with love. Love of God, love of others, love of all creation, love of life. As Grace became ill, and in her last moments, she requested that we be happy. “Everyone be happy.” She was content knowing that she would be okay. She spent her life dedicated to Jehovah and she had hope that he would remember her. She is looking forward to seeing all of us again in Paradise. She also believed that we had the hard part. She knew that she would just be asleep in death, peaceful. We, however, would need to carry on. She wanted us to remember her, but not be sad, because we would see her again. Death is not goodbye, but au revoir.
I love you, Grace. Rest in peace until we meet again.
A Memorial for Grace will be held 1:30 PM on April 25th at the Jehovah Witnesses Kingdom Hall 1120 Woodland Avenue, Norristown, PA 19403.
In lieu of sending flowers, please send flowers to those you love soon and often.
