Grace Louise Powell was born July 12, 1923, in Chipley Florida to Bee and Julia Walden. Grace was the baby of the family and joined five siblings. She was preceded in death by James, her husband of 77 years. She was also preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings but remained close to her nieces and nephews all her life. She is survived by daughters Carole Bonds and Debbie Powell; granddaughters Kelley (Dale) Kostomo and Kim Bonds; and great grandchildren Caroline and Zak Kostamo and Riley Bonds. Grace loved her Sunday School classes at East Brent Baptist Church, her Homemakers Club, and her garden club. She was well known for her cooking and for sharing meals with neighbors and friends. After moving to Gainesville to be near family, Grace was a member of the weekly dominoes group and participated in all the neighborhood parties. Grace was blessed with loving caregivers in her later years and at Haven Hospice in her final days. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to East Brent Baptist Church in Pensacola or Haven Hospice in Gainesville, Florida.
