| Notes |
- “This small bundle of a woman should not be underestimated. A lot of drive and energy were bound up into the five-foot-two frame that was Grace. She had beautiful blue eyes that twinkled and naturally curly red hair that began graying in her twenties. She always looked as if she had stepped out of a ‘band-box’ — so neat, spotless and always smiling.
“When in her twenties she was the sole support of her two children and her mother and sometimes a brother. She was employed by the State Comptroller’s Department in Austin (then located in the State Capitol) and was within sight of retirement after 30 years when the tragedy of the Big C (cancer) struck her down. She was forced to take early retirement and lived the last few months of her life with her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren in Austin.
“Her courage and faith shine forth as an example to be followed by all.”
