IN MEMORIAM

Grace Gray Faison

Grace Faison, a beloved member of Plymouth Church since 1946, passed away on April 26 at the age of 101. She lived in Brooklyn Heights almost all her life. Her first husband, George, was a Navy officer who perished at sea two weeks after the end of World War II. She raised their son, Jeff, who had a career in law enforcement alone, until she met John Faison, who she married in December 1948. Their daughter Sandy, a successful actress and singer, was born in 1950. Grace has five grandchildren and five great granddaughters.

Grace was an unforgettable presence at Plymouth Church. Our congregation was the center of her life. She served on a multitude of committees. She paid attention and shared strong opinions. The Grace Faison Bell Garden rings with her name. “We are all connected,” she believed. “We cannot do it alone.” The church will celebrate her life at 4:00 PM on Saturday, May 23.
