To those that were especially close to Grace, she leaves this earth with the following quote, “I have lived my life and have taken my own advice and decided TO GET OUTTA HERE!!” Grace was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Conrad Delbert Maloney; brothers, James Gordon Reese and William Aubrey Reese and one sister, Martha Jaunice Dunn. Grace is survived by sons, Delbert Wayne Maloney and wife Sandra of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Jeffrey Lynn Maloney and wife Portia of Dallas; sister, Dorothy Woods and husband Hobart of Amarillo; five grandchildren, Del Wayne Maloney, Jennifer Linn Maloney, Paul Brandon Maloney, Marli Maloney and Mandon Maloney; seven great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
