GRACE 5PELL,one of thQ fourteen children to the union of Hugh and MYlie Spell was born May 4,1920 in Florence,Mississippi. She attended Piney Wood Schoo 1 in Piney wood, Mississippi.
Grace,was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on January 19,1975 thereafter becoming a regular pioneer in Jehovah's service.
She continued in the field for the rest of
her 1i fe.
Grace advanced the truth
whenever she could and her talent at
informal witnessing was widely known.
She leaves to mourn: four brothers,Emmett, Edgar,Milton,leonard;six sisters, carolyn Gray,Bernice Grave,Lillian Jones,Eva Spell, Gladys Stith,Geraldine Chambliss. Her many nephews;nieces;relatives and friends will miss her.
Grace was a "people person" with a tender heart. She was very outgoing and always wore an infectiously friendly smile. Anyon2 in her presence never had a dull moment.
Learning of the resurrection hope is what sparked Grace's love for Jehovah and his service.
