Gretchen and I met while singing in the choir and our friendship grew with our enjoyment of playing handbells. Gretchen freely gave of her time and talents to share her enthusiasm for music with others. She directed the youth handbell choir, created an ensemble of high school youth, The Joyful Noise, and encouraged the two of us to play a bell duet. She was truly an amazing person.
After retirement, we were blessed to continue our friendship in a book club. It was a special evening when she lead the discussion of her memoir about growing up in a small Minnesota town.
Gretchen was a dear friend for decades. I will always cherish the many adventures we had over the years. I appreciate her enjoyment of life, creativity, love of nature, and kind spirit. Thanks for the memories, Gretchen.
My sincerest sympathy to Arthur, Jane, Brian and all of Gretchen's family.

Gretchen and I worked together at Chase (in its many iterations). She was always funny, kind and very creative. A pleasure to work with and a joy to know. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.

I remember Gretchen from St. Andrews Presbyterian in Dunedin. She was a very kind, special lady. May God be with Arthur and all family members.

We enjoyed the too short time we had to get to know Gretchen - what a beautiful spirit and what a loving and fun lady - we loved our dinner together and she always had that beautiful smile and a happy greeting - our best thoughts and prayers are with you.
