Memorials:
Beryl Gremillion was born February 20th, 1923 in Plaucheville, LA to Levi Francis and Ily Gremillion. She was the middle child between two brothers, Donald and Elliot. At the age of 8, she began piano lessons. Four years later, she was invited to study piano with a professor at Louisiana State University where she eventually completed her Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in music.

In 1949, she moved to New Orleans where she met Henry Grimball and they were later married in St. Louis Cathedral. Together, they raised three daughters. Beryl touched many lives as she taught piano lessons for 70 years. She was also a real estate agent in New Orleans and the DFW area for 20 years. In 1989, Beryl moved from New Orleans to Bedford, TX in order to be near her children. Bedford was her favorite place and we could always find her working in her yard which was a lush tropical vision!

She will be remembered as a loving caring mother and friend with a sharp wit, who loved to tend her garden of topiaries and perform lively piano concerts.
