Mary "Dell" Adele Grube, age 68, passed away peacefully July 2, 2020 surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Dell was born February 6, 1952 in Leonardtown, Maryland to Enoch Booth Abell and Ernestine Irene Spafford Abell. When she was 2 years old, she moved to Catonsville, Maryland where she spent her childhood.

On February 5, 1972 she married Denwood Alvin Grube, and returned to St. Mary's County and raised their 5 children.

Dell's greatest honor was being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. They gave her joy, pride and fulfilled her daily with immense love and laughter. Dell was family orientated and would give anything to help her family and friends and never think twice about it. Dell spent many years in Piney Point, Maryland. Dell loved being near the water, listening to the water and enjoyed lighthouses.

For many years Dell worked as a bartender in Piney Point, Maryland before beginning her career as a St. Mary's County Public school bus driver and also worked as a cafeteria worker for the St. Mary's County Public school system. She was passionate about being there for all the children that she interacted with and watching them grow.
