Biography[]
Ejra Grimstam was born in Sjotofta, Tranemo Municipality, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden, on 29 June 1912, and grew up on a farm. She married her husband Thure in 1945 and the family settled in Oskarstrom, outside Halmstad. They had two daughters, Maj-Britt and Siv.
When Grimstam's husband died in 1992, she moved to the municipality of Ale to be closer to her daughter Siv. After living a few years at Bohus Servicehus, she moved to Backavik Nursing Home in Nodinge, where she has lived for the past nine years.
