Grace Leona Simpson, daughter of James Isaac Nash and Mary Alice Preston. She was born August 23, 1899, near Brownsboro, Alabama, died October 28, 1985, North Pole, Alaska. She married Arthur Marcus Simpson in 1918, and by this union, three children were born: Mary, Grace and Arthur Jr.
She was a descendant of early Lincoln County, Tennessee pioneers Daniel Preston, Thomas Norman and Allen Harbin; and Saint Clair County, Alabama pioneers Nelson Nash, Thomas Adams and James Evans. One ancestor, Thomas Adams served in the War of 1812 while he was a resident of Tennessee. Three other ancestors served in the Confederate Army, William G. Preston of Tennesseee; James Evans and Isaac Nash of Alabama.
She was a member of the First Southern Baptist Church of Morro Bay, and died in the faith of her first love. Mrs. Simpson was in many respects a remarkable woman. Blessed with strong natural endowments, firm and unswerving in purpose, with strong decision of character energy of action, she met life's duties and responsibilities bravely, faithfully and well. One of Mrs. Simpson's special characteristics was her honest frankness. Positive and decisive in her convictions and honest in her purposes, she wsas free from duplicity and artifice.
She never hesitated to express her opinion upon any subject connected with social, moral, or religious life freely and candidly, and with malice towards none and goodwill to all. She seldom made mistakes or lost a friend. Her home was her empire; she loved and ruled it well. She never invaded the territory of others, but lived in peace and charity with her neighbors.
Religion was her joy and consolation, and under its enigh influence she lived a life of earnest devotion to God and the cause of human salvation. She loved the Church, the house of prayer, and the communion of saints. One of her ardent temperament could not be otherwise than demonstrative, and often, under the power of the Spirit, did she proclaim her Saviour's praise in the midst of her people and before the world. Her home ws the abode of genuine hospitality, one in which the preacher always found a welcome, rest and refreshment.
In her last illness, she praised God for his goodness, praised him for the good children and grandchildren he had given her. rested all of her hopes upon the cross, and died trusting in Jesus. None knew her but to love her, nor named her but to praise.
