Grace Katherine Perry has been called home by her Lord Jesus Christ. She was 19.
Grace was born in Vallejo, CA, to Steven and Kristen (Morgan) Perry. She was a voracious reader, loved to write stories, and sword fight with her brother. She swam like a mermaid, and was thrilled to see her sister perform in Kre8tive's the Little Mermaid play. She was gifted musically and enjoyed singing worship songs, especially traditional Christmas songs. She loved planning and decorating for holidays with her Mom, and like her mother, found joy in loving people.
She is survived by her father, her younger siblings Anna and William, and her grandmothers, Virginia Morgan and Catherine Perry. She was preceded in death by her precious mother, her two grandfather's, Calvin Perry and Wm. A Morgan, and her Uncle Ken Perry.
Her tender heart, generous spirit, and abiding smile will forever be cherished.
Until we meet again, our Tender Sweet Gracie Girl.
For the love and support that has been graciously demonstrated by so many toward our family, from Kristen's passing and now, words cannot express the depth of our gratitude. Thank you.
A private memorial will be held for the family.
