Trela was a member of First Baptist Church, but more important, gave her life to Christ at the age of 20. She truly understood that there is hope in the name of the Lord. Now, she is with the Lord Jesus Christ as she passed away on August 24, 2010 just three short months after losing her beloved husband of 70 years.

At the time of her death she was living in her home of over 55 years.

She was an avid gardener and up to the end was supervising the planting of flowers and the maintenance of her yard. A proud member of the “greatest generation”, she loved her country and had little patience for those who didn’t share her patriotism. She had a keen interest in current events and started every day with coffee, the newspaper, and a critique of the day’s news. She took pride in her extraordinary sewing skills and loved to describe herself as an “excellent seamstress”.
Grace was preceded in death by her husband Jim, her daughter Sandra, and her son Mitchell. She is survived by her daughter Patricia of Bullard; her son Tom of Lubbock; and her son Gary of Converse. Additionally, she was blessed with 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
