Annette March-Grier
Founder of Nonprofit, Roberta's House, inc.
Annette March-Grier is a native Baltimorean and the youngest of four children born into a family business, March Funeral Homes. She is a registered nurse, a mortician, and the visionary of Roberta’s House Inc., a nonprofit support center founded in 2007 to address high-risk families and youth with unhealthy grief in Baltimore City.
"I was raised in a funeral home … I would watch families approach a casket, someone that they loved dear … and my mother was always there to comfort them. I was so intrigued by how she did this … my mother was the epitomy of compassion and she taught me that in a simple way. "
