Following the Celebration of Grace's Life, there will be a short visitation.
Grace was born May 19, 1925 in Cottondale, Florida to her late parents Sarah Shiver Watford and Ira Watford. She came to Columbus with her husband at an early age seeking employment. Grace was beautiful young woman. She was a sharp dresser but a very modest Christian. Grace was Baptist by faith and a member of First Baptist Church in Columbus. She was married to her loving husband, Holden Baggett, for over 50 years. Grace led a very simple life. She loved her family and cooking big meals for them. Everyone knew her for her Sour Cream Pound Cake. She was a perfectionist and taught her children to eat healthy. In her later years, Grace found that she loved to travel, and eat out with her close friends. Grace will be remembered for her healthy life style and helping other to do the same.
Grace was preceded in death by her husband, Holden Baggett; daughter, Judith Eva Baggett; brothers, Euless, Foy, Hurley, Paul and Addis Watford; sister, Janie Merle Holland; and son in-law, Ray Jones.
She is survived by two daughters, Jane Jones and Joan Parker (Steve); four grandchildren, Kelly Cameron (Vic), Amanda Bufford, Adam Parker (Kristen), and Blakely Parker; eight great-grandchildren, Carson, Madelyn, Ansley, Lydia, Garrett, Peyton, Alaina and Bentley; nieces; nephews; and other family members.
The family would like to thank the staff at Magnolia Senior Living.
