Our beloved Matriarch gain her wings on January 6, 2022. God saw fit to remove the head of the chain. Gracie was born on July 28, 1933, in Leesburg, Georgia to Buddy Waters and Essie Covington. She was affectionately raised by her Great Grandparents, Charlie, and Rilla Willis.

Gracie attended school in the Lee County Public School System. She worked many years in the Lee County Middle School cafeteria. Her heart felt passion was working in the area of care taking.

She was united in Holy Matrimony to the late Henry Everett in 1975.

At an early age, she confessed Christ and joined the Wooden Grove Baptist Church in Leesburg, Georgia under the leadership of her late Great Uncle, Reverend Murray Willis.

Gracie loved to listen to gospel music, attending gospel concerts, and church. She enjoyed fishing. What she enjoyed the most wasspending time with family, especially her grandchildren. "Gracie never met a stranger". If you had time to listen, she had time to talk.
