Seggretta Grier

Seggretta Grier was affectionately known as Greta, 71, lived a life defined by compassion, faith, and quiet strength. She wasn’t the loudest in the room, but her presence was always felt. She loved traveling, working in the garden, her family, but most of all her beloved husband and their children. A graduate of South High School and Southern Ohio College, Seggretta loved selling real estate and teaching all who visited her home, how to professionally answer the phone and take messages for her. Professionalism and integrity were her skill set as she successful mastered this by demonstrating and exhibiting character through jointed business ownership of Accounting Resources until her retirement. Seggretta gave comfort, dignity, and hope to every family member and friend she encountered. Seggretta served as a guiding light to her family always opened to praying with/for and listening to blues music with all those who visited.
