Grace was born on December 28, 1927 in Rhine, Georgia; the daughter of Henry C. Lancaster and Edna Wells Lynn. She graduated from Newcastle (PA) High School. Grace was married to Elwin S. Lott on April 14, 1945 in Abbeville, Georgia.
Grace is known as a woman who always put others above herself. She was dedicated to her family and taught us how to love and sacrifice for those we loved. As a girl she enjoyed gymnastics, dancing, movies and styling hair. As a wife and mother, she loved spending time with her family, working in the yard, and watching soap operas. Grace taught her three sons honesty, good manners, respect for others and always striving to do one’s best. She will be remembered as a devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother who loved and served others throughout her life.
Grace accepted Jesus as her savior as a child and in the last years of her life looked forward to joining Him in heaven.
Preceded in death by her husband, Elwin S. Lott; father, Henry C. Lancaster; mother, Edna Lynn Wells; and sister, Martha Lancaster Davis.
