Gracie Ruth Pearson

PEARSON, Gracie Ruth, 82, of Sun City Center, passed away February 16, 2012. She was born May 6, 1929, in Lewiston, Tennessee.Grace was preceded in death by her daughter, Debbie; son, Steve. She is survived by six grandchildren; Chris, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Desiree, Kim, and Scott. Six great grandchildren; Justin, Kaylan (who shares her birthday May 6th), Cole, Autumn, Zach, and her name sake Malyiah Gracie; brother, James, sister-in-law, Verna, niece, Vicky, and her children and grandchildren; her daughter-in-law Kathy, and son in law, Gordie. To say Grace was a master of crafts would be a huge understatement. From crocheting and needlepoint, to cross stitch and decoupage, but you see that was the small stuff. She was an amazing woodworker. From detailed frames that showcased cross stitch or etched mirror, to towel racks, bread boxes and spice racks. She had the most amazing imagination and loved to use it to create unique and personal gifts for those she loved. She loved to go rambling to find all those “treasures” other people found as trash, and she did. I think she was happiest when the family was together, or she was finding the beauty in her “treasures”. She will be missed so much by all her family and friends. In celebration of Grace’s amazing life the family will gather together with friends and do what she loved best, a cookout and lots of memories and stories to share about our mom, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Maybe even a game of croquet.
