Gracey worked as a nursing assistant at the local hospital. Gracey was also attending classes at Liberty University to further her education in hopes of fulfilling her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. During her free time, Gracey enjoyed spending time with her fiancé, her kids, her service dog, her family, her rescue animals, and her friends. Gracey also spent time at Spring Valley Farm where she was able to work with horses. Gracey had a big heart for animals and would rescue any animal that needed rescuing. Gracey with her playful personality, beautiful smile, and the love she had for her family, friends, and animals will be greatly missed. Gracey learned as a child to be a helper and a healer. Her kind heart can be seen as she has passed on these qualities to her treasured three boys who will continue to carry on her legacy.

Gracey will sadly be missed by all that loved and knew her. The family would like to send out special thanks to the Roanoke County EMS and Valley Funeral Home, and all others involved for their love and support during this difficult time.
