Mrs. Grace Peters Carney of Millsboro, DE and formerly of Lexington Park, MD, and Albuquerque, NM, passed away in the care of her daughter and son-in-law Gwynn and Joe Wilhelm and the wonderful staff of Compassionate Care Hospice.
Grace was born in Okaton, SD on January 17, 1925, to homesteaders Fred H. and Ethel Dobbins Peters.

She married Buzz, a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps, in 1945, and followed him wherever he would be stationed.
