Grace Lee Massey

Grace was born on November 6, 1929, in Dallas, Texas. She was the seventh of twelve children born to George Clay and Ida Mae McNeely Jones. She met and married Roy Massey on July 10, 1948. Grace and Roy were married for sixty two years until his passing on February 14, 2011. She was preceded in death by her parents, five sisters and four brothers. In addition to her husband, she was also pre—deceased by her daughters, Carolyn Rae Massey and infant daughter, Rebecca Christine Massey, as well as her son-in-law, Barry Jennings.

Grace is survived by daughters Sandy Haley, Judy Jennings and Sherrye Brake (Mark) and son Roy Massey Jr. (Bree). She is also survived by eleven grandchildren, Ryan and Brandon Haley, Brooke Mack (Daniel), Melanie Lam-Titsworth, Amanda and Josh Jennings (Jennifer), Jordan Massey (Amber), Jenna Vineyard (Adam), Lauren Garrard (Taylor), Baylee Lacey (Aaron) and Dalton Brake. In addition, there are 22 great grandchildren to carry on her legacy, She also leaves behind her two surviving siblings, Norma Platt and Jerry Jones, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Grace was a consummate “people person”—always ready with a smile and a joke, and she never met a stranger. She was sweet, loving, and kind and this often masked her strength and firm determination. She loved her family and made friends everywhere she went. Her sense of humor was remarkable, and Grace will be greatly missed by her family and by anyone who was lucky enough to have known her.

Funeral services are scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 2022, at 2 pm, and visitation will be from 6-8 pm on Wednesday, September 21st at Grove Hill Memorial Park.

“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” – (Proverbs 31:31)
