Wallace, Sr.; and one great-grandson, Anthony Joseph Federico.

The family is especially grateful to “the twins” (Rosetta Dean and Mosetta Dean) who provided loving care to Mrs. Wallace for the last 8 years during her battle with Alzheimer’s. The family would also like to thank her first cousin, Laney Craven, for her many visits and support as well as Joy Wells and Libby Parks for taking communion to her.
