Dorothy Crace

Dorothy Crace, 88, of Cabot, Arkansas, went to be with her Lord, on November 22, 2025. She was born on March 20, 1937, in Paris, Arkansas, to Waymon and Lendell Nelms. 

Dorothy is survived by her devoted husband of 69 years, Ray Crace; her three children, Carol, Steve, and Alice; her sister, Lois Hill; and 2 granddaughters. She was preceded in death by her parents.

A loving wife, mother, and grandmother, Dorothy dedicated her life to caring for her family. She was a gifted seamstress whose talent and creativity brought joy to many. She also loved gardening, cross stitching, decorating her home, and quilting, and she poured her heart into every project she created. Dorothy was also a devoted member of the choir at FirstNLR for over 40 years and served as a seamstress for many of the church's productions, blessing her church family with both her voice and her craftsmanship. She also loved traveling with her husband and the Keenagers, traveling to all 50 states. A lifelong follower of Christ, she lived her faith with gentleness and dedication.

Her warmth, kindness, and steady faith were evident in every part of her life. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

The family would like to thank the staff of Crestview Assisted Living and LifeTouch Health (formerly Arkansas Hospice) for their loving care and attention, especially Amy Whitney and Melissa Wood.
