In the early afternoon of April 29, 2013, at 2:32PM; Grace went to be with the Lord. She is survived by her loving husband Leslie Ray Alford, her daughters Bernice (Alford) Lenci and Rosemary (Alford) Ladeau. Her brother John T. Zell and her grandson Anthony Latorre. To honor her wishes, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. A donation page has been set up on their website in her memory.
