IN MEMORIAM - J&G Co-founder GRACE LUCILLE DESAYE - 1931 to 2012

I've always liked J&G

 

With great sadness we announce the passing of Grace DeSaye. Over the decades, in partnership with Joe DeSaye, Grace helped build J&G Sales into one of the countries most respected suppliers of guns, ammo, and shooting accessories.

 

Grace DeSaye, J&G co-founder, joyfully entered the Kingdom of Heaven early Monday December 3rd at the age of 81 years. Grace was the "G" of J&G, helping her husband Joe build J&G Rifle Ranch in Montana. As the Rifle Ranch grew from a barn based hobby into the J&G Sales we know today, they moved the business and their family to Prescott, Arizona in 1977. Investing years of work, guidance, and encouragement, Grace contributed greatly to the success of the family business and to the lives of each of her family members.

Grace was always happiest being with her children and their families. A lifelong lover of reading, she also enjoyed singing in the Church Choir, and every opportunity to travel. Traveling with family members throughout the years, she was thankful to be able to explore Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, New Zealand, Israel, and Africa. She treasured summers in Montana, returning to her roots and reuniting with lifelong friends.

Grace is survived by her 6 children and their spouses, and was blessed with many grandchildren and extended family members.

Memorial and internment will be in Montana. Memorials can be made to the charity of your choice or to the Good Samaritan Hospice of Prescott, AZ who graciously provided loving care during her final days.
