Irene Grimm

 

A Musical Recital Featuring Paula Grimm (’08), David Kaiser (’09), and Justas Maknickas (’24)

 

Irene Grimm (1929 – 2022) is the beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother of 91 Thomas Aquinas College students and alumni, including grandchildren Paula Grimm (’08) and David Kaiser (’09). “David and I were thinking that we would like to honor our grandmother who inspired the love of music in the family,” observes Paula. “Every Christmas she insisted that everyone take a turn singing her their latest aria.” From that inspiration comes this free concert, which, fittingly, takes place on October 29, 2023 — Mrs. Grimm’s 94th  birthday  — at 3:00 p.m. in St. Cecilia Hall on the California campus.
