"She was always supporting the club, along with her husband Dan," the club said. "Their love for each other and our community should be an example for us all and she will be missed deeply. We are stunned by her passing. Please keep the Grant family in your prayers during this difficult time. Bingo will never be the same."

Nora Grant also enjoyed Atlantic City trips, time with her friends, and following her grandchildren's lives through basketball, baseball, and soccer games, dance recitals, school shows, Grandparents’ Day at school, her obituary notes.
