Obituary For Grace Poole

Mrs. Grace Huskey Poole of 169 Camden Court went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at her residence in Shelby, NC. She was born on February 7, 1947 in Cleveland County, NC to the late James and Eunice Accor Huskey.

Grace joined Shoal Creek Baptist Church at a very young age and remained a devoted and faithful member there. She served in different capacities over the years and was currently a member of the missionary department, senior Ministry and the Women of Strength Team where she was a leader.

Grace retired from Eaton Corporation in 2004 where she was employed for 20 years. In 2010 she was hired by a federal program sponsored by the United Way of Cleveland County as a foster grandparent. That same year, she was hired by Enloe Mortuary where she worked as a funeral attendant. She remained devoted to both until her passing. Grace loved her family. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters and she especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. It was not anything that she would not do for any of her family.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Poole, Sr. and a daughter-in-law, Danette Poole.

She leaves to cherish her loving memory to her sons, Patrick Poole (Shermaunda), Jimmy Poole (Troy), Milton Poole and Jimmy Jermain Whisnant (Jenise); two daughters, Monica Potts (Teddy) and April Surratt (Darnell); eleven grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; six sisters, Mary Ann Wilson (Johnny), Martha Davis, Sandra Avery, Patricia Good (Alphonso), Theresia Lowery and Cherre Huskey; two brothers-in-law, John Poole and Nathan β€œBuddy” Poole; four sisters-in-law, Willie Mae Sawyer, Sylvia Hush, Jackie Tuft and Carlean Poole and a host of nieces, nephews, uncles, cousins and special friends who will all greatly miss her.

The funeral service for Mrs. Grace Poole will be private. The service will be livestreamed starting at 1:45 PM on Thursday, January 28, 2021. Mrs. Poole can be viewed from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM on Thursday at Shoal Creek Baptist Church. Burial will take place at the church cemetery.

To the Poole Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of bereavement. I've known Mrs. Grace since I was a toddler. She always wore a smile on her face and you never knew when she was having a bad day. Her love for God, her family and her church family was unmatched. I got the opportunity to work closely with her when Mother's Day would come around and she would sing on the Women of Strength choir. She would always say "you really think we can do this" or "you don't think you're pushing us too far do you" and I would always respond no ma'am. If I didn't believe that you all couldn't do it I wouldn't bring the song to you. She'd laugh and say "ok, well I trust you". She will definitely be missed! Take your rest Mrs. Grace. πŸ’œ

With Love, Tyrez Dabbs

I have known Grace all of my life because our families knew each other before we even came into this world. And how our families were always members of Shoal Creek Church and the Shoal Creek community. My love thoughts and prayers to the Huskey and Poole family. May the Lord Our God give each and every one of you great strength comfort and peace. May there be much joy of all the sweet wonderful memories. Kim Morrow Pasadena CA

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort for all of her family. I along with Mrs McNeilly started working with Grandma Grace at Fallston Elementary and then at PCA. She was such a blessing for the students and as much for the staff. We will forever love and miss her. Melissa Adams

My Heartfelt Condolences and Prayers are extended to the Poole Family. I met Mrs. Grace and Deacon Jimmy in the year of 2001 after the transition of my Brother John Thompson AKA Pee Wee. Such love and Compassion they showed to me and my family. A few years later I became more familiar and Friends with Mrs. Grace through my Sister Isabeller. She was a true Child of the King. She was a Beautiful person Inside and Out. Always had that Beautiful Smile on her face when and wherever you saw her. I remember her visiting me in my home once with my sister and saying I can't stay long, well after getting comfortable and relaxed in my Husband's Recliner the visit grew longer (smile). The talk we had was great. My sister said she was not going to bring her anymore but we knew better (smile). She was a Lady of Class,Wisdom,Kindness and love. We love her but God love her Best. Sleep on my friend and I will see you in the Morning.

To the Family my heart and love to you all, Mrs Grace was like a Sister to me,she was my confidant I could talk to her about anything, we went out to eat together,went to movies crying when they were sad laughing when they were funny,she always encouraged me when I had problems I will truly miss her.Be blessed Family. Isabeller Logan

My deepest condolences to the Poole family. Ms Grace was a true Missionary at Heart. Always doing something to help someone else find their way. She took to our family just like we were distant keen or family folks, when we came to Shelby in 2004. That was her true nature, lend a hand and teach one. She will certainly be missed, that loving, nurturing soul. I pray your strength and comfort in the Lord. Rev Dogan, Contressa and Jamika and family.

I got to know Grandma Grace as we called her at Pinnacle Academy, she was such a blessing to the children and staff. She talked and prayed with me when my dad was battling cancer and we also shared a few tears. I loved her dearly ❀️

Ms. Grace Poole, Momma Poole as I affectionately called her was truly God's Grace here on Earth. She had a way of making you feel loved and important. Her smile lit up a room and her presence exuded an ambience like no other person I knew. She'll be sorely missed. Take your rest and wear your Crown of Glory.

Words cannot express how I feel right now. I've not been able to stop crying yet. Mrs. Grace you meant so much to the Lattimore family. Every time I saw you it would be in your car or the family car for Enloe Mourtary. You kept a smile on your face and honored everyone.
