A musician by avocation, Jeanne Grace has directed the choir at Mountain Rise since 1973. She began as a way of facilitating the many musical talents of the Mountain Rise congregation and continues to enjoy doing so. Church music has been of lifelong importance to Jeanne. “I have always felt that a signature attribute of Mountain Rise was joyfully accepting the varied and unique gifts that our members and friends have to share. It is deeply rewarding to be associated with the caring fellowship of the Mountain Risenacle Choir.”
Jeanne is retired from her day job as a nurse educator and research ethics chair at the University of Rochester. Jeanne and her husband Bob raised three sons in Mountain Rise, and their family has expanded to include two wonderful daughters-in-law and four grandchildren. Jeanne enjoys kayaking on Sodus Bay, photography and blogging for her grandchildren.
