Angela Grace Brockles Pascoe

Angela Grace Brockles Pascoe born October 20, 1924, to Basil A. "Bill" and Abbie D. Brockles in Dallas, Texas, and borne December 13, 2013 into eternal life in God's embrace. A 1942 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, and a 1946 graduate of Baylor University, Grace met and ultimately married H.T. Tom Pascoe, an officer in the Army Air Corps, 8th Air Force, 357th Fighter Group, whom she met in Georgia, at Turner Army Air Base, Bill, had sent her to "chaperone" her older brother, Basil, Jr., a colleague of Tom's. Grace married Tom on May 5, 1949, in Dallas. Grace devoted her life to God, to knowledge, to her husband, Tom Pascoe, and to her children, Laura, William, and Barbara. She worked as a full time military wife, mother, and household manager until Tom retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1967. Then she put her college education to work for H & R Block in Tucson, Arizona, for 29 years, managing the Sears Park Mall office for over ten years. Retiring in 1996, she turned more of her attention to her Christian worship, and volunteered more at Desert Skies United Methodist Church in Tucson. True to her given name, and throughout her life, Grace was an angel right here on Earth. She always focused on peacemaking and understanding the other person. She was a sounding board for her friends and family for the troubles that they may be experiencing. Strangers to her, upon meeting her for only a few minutes, have told her family that she is an angel. Her family already knew this to be true. Grace was the definitive example of unconditional love. Grace will be sorely missed by all. Grace was preceded in death by her mother and father, her sisters Georgene Griffin (Bobby), Elaine Doty (EV), her husband, Herschel Thomas Pascoe, her brother, Basil A. Brockles Jr., and his wife Lois Elizabeth, as well as four nephews. She is survived by her daughters Laura Pascoe, Barbara Russ (Tom), and son William Pascoe, and sister, Connie McNabb (Ivy). She is also survived by her grandson, Michael Russ (Becky), and great grandchildren Abagail Russ, Dylan Thropp, and Daysha Sossaman, along with generations of nieces and nephews in Arizona, Texas, and Louisiana. Grace is also survived by her wonderful caregiving family at Plum Tree residence in Tucson, to whom her family is grateful beyond words. Grace's family and friends will gather to celebrate her life 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at EAST LAWN PALMS, 5801 East Grant Road, in Tucson, Arizona.
