She was a member of the Ludlow Lodge of Elks, and in her spare time, she loved camping and enjoyed gardening; but her greatest joy in life was spending time with her beloved family, especially her grandchildren. Alda was the beloved wife of 49 years to Gordon Grimes; a loving mother to Jason Grimes and wife Cristina, and Kelly Ganhao and husband Paul, all of Ludlow, and adoring grandmother to Zachary and Kali Grimes, and Emily and Matthew Ganhao; a dear sister to John Domingos and wife Linda, of Tolland, CT and their children Corey and Bailey; beloved daughter in law to Emma Grimes; a dear sister-in-law to Gary and Robin Grimes and their children Sean, Ian, and Evan; and Robert Grimes and his children Jennifer, Jillian, and Bobbie Leigh; and also leaves many loving extended family members, and dear friends.  Funeral services for Alda will be held on Monday, May 7th.  Visitation will be from 8:00-10:00am in Ludlow Funeral Home with Liturgy of Christian Burial at 11:00am in St. Elizabeth Parish followed by burial in Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Agawam at 1:00pm.
