"Amazing Grace" passed away peacefully on November 8, 2023. She was a life-long Centre County resident, born to William and Harriet Kuhn on December 28, 1935.

In 1956 she married Don "Boomer" Gates, who preceded her in death. Together they raised 3 children; Robin Poprik (Ed), William Gates (Cindy), and Kelley Inhoof (Leroy). She was proud to be blessed with 6 grandchildren; Ricky Capers (Kelly), Marc Gates (Rachel Sculley), Alyssa Capers (Sonya Hochstein), Jonathan Inhoof (Dion Smith), Carley Pino (Kevin), and Casey Inhoof (Morgan). Of particular joy to her were her 6 great-grandchildren; Carson, Levi, Jack, Axell, Luke, and Kensley.

She graduated from State College High School in 1953, where she was proud to have played in the band. Her time in the workforce was primarily spent as a bookkeeper for a State College dental practice. After retirement she enjoyed golfing, and served on the Board for the Wellington Greens Condominium Association, including time as its President.

She was an avid PSU fan, spending many Saturdays tailgating with her long-term partner Randy Miller, who preceded her in death.

In addition to her deep love of her family, she loved to travel. The travel bug took her to many places, including destinations abroad and PSU bowl games. However; some of her happiest times were when she was able to combine both loves, sailing aboard cruises with her family.
