Grace was born in Seattle, WA and died in Bellingham, WA.
She was the daughter of Charles Floyd and Grace Mae Swords Shockey.
She is the mother of 7 children, 2 girls and 5 boys. She was the heart and soul of her family.
She loved to go to church, camping, painting (she could have gone profession, but chose her family first), cooking, table games (especially Acey Ducy and Rook, which she called Free Methodist poker), watching the Seattle Seahawks with her husband, and driving her New Yorker which had turbo. She liked to drive fast. In her later years she had problems walking far, so she would even drive her car into the back yard to be with family.
The number one thing in her life was loving and living for the Lord Jesus Christ. The number two important thing in her life was her family. She made it her mission in life that all her children and grandchildren would be ready for heaven.
Like most of us, she carried pains and hurts in her heart. She wouldn't talk about them. Some of them I think were from her childhood. She could be stubborn and hold to her strong opinions. At times she might have been misunderstood, but she loved and cared deeply. She was a lot of fun and full of spirit. Young people loved being around her. She is sorely missed.
