Gracie Louise Anderson, the daughter of N.S. (Jack) and Annie Mae Williams was born on October 24, 1952, in Fort Worth, TX. She was the youngest of six children, and from birth, she was always full of life. Her joyful laughter brought a smile to everyone who knew her.
Gracie graduated from Dunbar High School. While in high school, she met the love of her life, Albert Anderson. The two soon became inseparable and united in marriage on July 17, 1971, fulfilling 49 blissful years. Born to this union were three handsome sons, Desmond Anderson, Sr., Rodney Anderson, and DeShawn Anderson.
Gracie was a long-time member of First Saint John Cathedral in Fort Worth, TX. She served faithfully beside her husband as a deaconess. Gracie’s first ministry was her family. She enjoyed caring for her husband, her children, cooking, and making her house a home filled with love. She was a protector and a loyal friend.
Gracie reunited with her parents, N.S. and Annie Mae Williams and her brother, Willie B. Tinsley, in Heaven on October 5, 2020.
Gracie leaves to cherish her memories; loving husband, Albert Anderson; three sons, Desmond Anderson, Sr., Rodney Anderson, and DeShawn Anderson; two sisters, Thelma J. Parrish and Patricia Ajene (Osita); two brothers Ned S. Williams, Johnny L. Williams (Sandra); seven beautiful grandchildren and a host of other relatives.
