She was a faithful member of New Hope Church and well-loved resident of Navasota. In a world where retirement is often seen as a well-deserved respite after a lifetime of hard work, there are a few exceptional individuals who defy conventional expectations. Grace was one of them. At 93 she continued to find purpose and joy in working. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be Caleb Parker, Chris Parker, Christopher Ramos, Grayson Parker, Seth Parker, and Stephen Bracewell. Honorary Pallbearer will be Chase Parker.
