My friend my Sister, when I heard the news of your home going my heart cried. I will miss you dearly my friend. You are truly Gods Angel

Jacqueline Bennett

It has taken me a minute to write this. Grace was such a reflection of her name. Her laughter and joyous nature will truly be missed. I had the pleasure of calling her more than a friend she was family. When your children marry you Pray that they find "The One". Well my son not only found her but was gifted Grace as well. She took my son in and loved him with a love that I could see and feel every time we got to share the same space. I appreciate you loving on my son Quinton and embracing our family as you did. This year at Christmas the Supremes will be missing one but I'm sure your presence will fill the room Farewell sweet Grace Terry

I met her on many occasions at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Peachland, NC, and she had a beautiful smile, and I would speak to her and her daughter. She will be missed by all who knew her. She loved her family, Pastor and church family too.

Dr. Mary Ruth Burns & family

We celebrate the life of my dear cousin Graceโ€” someone whose kindness, generosity, and warmth touched everyone who knew her.

She wasn't just family โ€” she was a true friend, a confidante, and a constant source of love and support in my life. Whenever I needed help, she was there โ€” no questions asked. Whether it was a few dollars when times were tight or just a comforting word when life felt heavy, she gave from her heart without hesitation. That was her way โ€” giving, caring, always thinking of others before herself.

Some of my favorite memories with her are simple ones โ€” the days she'd come over and we'd cook stew peas together. She loved them. We'd sit afterward, sharing a meal and stories, laughing about old times and remembering the good things in life. Those moments were full of warmth โ€” not just from the food, but from the love that surrounded us.

She had this beautiful way of making you feel seen and cared for. Her presence could turn an ordinary day into something special. She reminded me that family isn't just about blood โ€” it's about showing up for each other, about love in action.

Her absence leaves an ache that words can't fill, but her spirit lives on in the kindness she showed, the laughter she shared, and the love she gave so freely. I will carry those memories with me always โ€” every time I cook stew peas, every time I need a reminder of what it means to be truly generous and kind.

Rest in peace, Cousin Grace. You will be forever missed and always remembered.

Audrey

My condolences and prayers for the family.

What a beautiful soul inside and out. Martel had a loving and quiet spirit that drew you to her and you knew she was a Christian because of her caring spirit. Katie and I are sad but we know she is at home with her Savior. Praying for you Rachel and Mimi. She loved you both so much.

Wanda Howard and Katie Sewell

Our Condolences to the family of Mrs Meachem. She will be missed greatly. From the Rorie Family of New Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
