January 25, 1924 - March 26, 2021

Grace Kanner Queensbury – Grace Rose Kanner, 97, passed away at home on March 26, 2021, after a long illness. Grace served in the WACS and was honorably discharged after the war. Grace was born in Manhattan, NY and was the daughter of the late Estelle and Henry Rosenberg. She was the beloved wife of the late Charles Kanner. She is survived by her daughters, Anita Mac Donald (Bruce) of Latham, Hilary Moore (Raymond) of Nevada and her granddaughter Heather Schwartz (Philip) and great grandsons, Nolan Schwartz and Griffin Schwartz. She is also survived by her sister Betty Organek and three nephews. Grace spent over 25 years volunteering at the Glens Falls Hospital and helped to redesign their gift shop. She also was a volunteer at Planned Parenthood and was on the board of Habitat for Humanity. Known for her red hair and her flair for style, Grace loved to have fun, shop, travel to FL and take weekend car trips with her husband – always stopping for something delicious. She was an avid reader and was involved in several book clubs. When she was younger, she danced in NYC and was on the stage with Ray Bolger. She was also a model and loved to talk about those grand old days. She loved museums and the ballet and anything on PBS, especially live classical concerts. Despite her failing health, Grace always looked forward to the future. She never gave up and was an inspiration for all of us. She was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. The family wishes to thank the staff at Home Instead, especially aides Peggy, Crystal and Lianna who treated Grace with dignity and respect. Our thanks also to her physician Dr. Kandora for his care and concern for Grace’s wellbeing. Services will be private due to present conditions. There will be no calling hours.
