To say Grace was a master of crafts would be a huge understatement. From crocheting and needlepoint, to crossstitch and decoupage. She was an amazing woodworker. From detailed frames that showcased cross-stitch or etched mirror, to towel racks, breadboxes and spice racks.

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 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. Words of comfort may be expressed at floridamortuary.com Florida Mortuary Funeral Cremation Services 813-237-2900 CARTER, Lewis B.
