Grace loved people and lived a long, beautiful and unselfish life. She loved to travel with her friends and loved to fish. She was very involved for many years in her fishing club. She loved the Christmas season and collected Whitehouse Christmas ornaments. She decorated her Christmas tree this year with only Whitehouse ornaments, a collection that she had amassed over many years.
For many years Grace worked at a plastics plant in Port Arthur, where she had many friends that she remained close to. Late in her life, she worked at Luby’s Cafeteria where she got much joy from seeing all her many friends she touched over her life. She lived her last few years with her son and daughter in law, where she became a member of Fellowship Baptist Church. This church took her in as family and gave her much joy. I know that over her life she was active in many churches; however, this one was very special, and God bless them!
Grace is survived by her brothers and their wives, Malcom and Jessie, OG and June, and Lehman and Vernell and sister-in-law, Rose Mary, the wife of her oldest brother Valton and her sister and husband Bonnie and Kenneth Smith who preceded her in death. She was mother to her daughters Amy and Beth who preceded her in death. She is also survived by her son Mike and his wife Kari, grandson Travis, and many nephews and nieces.
Her name says it all, she was truly amazing “Grace.” The family thanks all of you for the joy you have given her.
