Grace Ruth Purcell Tipton was born to Harry and Mary Shoemaker in Udall, KS on August 16, 1923. She passed away peacefully in Sanger, TX on February 7, 2022. Grace is survived by son, Ronald Kay Purcell; daughter, Shari Sue Milligan (Chris); 13 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews. Grace is preceded in death by her two husbands, parents, grandparents, and siblings. Grace lived 98 1/2 years and would light up the room when she walked in. She raised a son and daughter and influenced every grandchild and greats. Most called her "Gamy" and so many wanted her to adopt them into her family. Grace loved to watch & follow football and baseball, and loved our Family Fantasy Football league for over 30 years. We retired the FF trophy last year when she won; she said it was staying with her forever! She loved bowling in her younger years, and playing slots & doing puzzles in her later years. She gave the best birthday & Super Bowl parties you could ever go to. She loved all the holidays, and especially loved to give presents on Christmas and play pranks on April Fools Day. Grace has touched the lives of everyone who came into contact with her. She has a saying about her that goes, "Gracie, you got any more BRIGHT IDEAS?" Grace was loved by too many to name, and was the most amazing woman to meet. She truly deserved to be called "An Amazing Woman Called Grace" A funeral service will be held 2pm March 7, 2022 at The Wildwood Chapel at Restland Memorial Park.
