IN MEMORY OF LITTLE IMOGENE LIPFORD
In the midst of life we are in death. Never did this seem so true as on
the night of February 27. The sad news spreading through the community
that little Imogene Lipford was dead. It was such a shock that we could
scarcely believe it. One whom we loved so dear, so suddenly taken from
our midst.
Little Imogene was the sweet little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
Lipford of Corsicana.
She was such a loving child.
We shall all miss her and have sustained a great loss we cannot
understand but as we bow in humble submission to God’s will, we can but
say Thy will be done for He doeth all things well. She cannot come to
us, but we can go to her, may we with all the loved ones be united with
her in the sweet by and by, where God shall wipe away all tears from our
eyes.
On Friday afternoon, February 28, at 3 o’clock little Imogene was laid
to rest in the Oakwood cemetery,
Rev. Hines conducting the funeral service. for just a few days little
Imogene had been suffering with pneumonia, when the death angel said
come and she had to go. For eleven months she stayed with her loving
parents, aunts and grandparents drawing the ties of love closer about
their heartstrings. Truly we can say to her parents: Leaves have their
time to fall and flowers to wither at the north winds breath, but thou,
thou hast all time for thine own—O Death.
It was so hard to leave this precious little darling in God’s care but
it was only her baby left beneath the flowery mound and she is indeed
safe in the arms of Jesus.
May God bless the dear ones and at last lead them safely home.
Written by her aunt.

Grace Marie (Sims) Carroll-Spears
Feb 14, 1925 - Feb 21, 2006
 “Amazing Grace” — Grace Marie Sims Carroll Spears was born Feb. 14, 1925, in Corsicana to Tom and Mattie Glenn Sims. She was number 11 of 13 children. She received her formal education in Corsicana and graduated from Jackson High School. She was raised in the Grace Temple AME Church and continued to be a faithful member as an adult. Grace married her handsome high school sweetheart, Arthur Lee Carroll, and to this union were born six children. She made sure her children were brought up in church, as well. Grace was a vivacious, smart and intelligent woman who could “get the job done.” If something needed to be done, she could do it. This is how she got the affectionate name of “Amazing Grace.” She did domestic work, played the piano and worked in the school system. She was a PE teacher at Jackson High School and a PE teacher and teacher’s aid at Lincoln Elementary School. She remarried the Rev. Otis Spears after her children were grown. She served 16 faithful years as a musician for Hamilton Baptist Church in Frisco. Grace was an avid walker; she loved to walk. She was very sick as a child and learned to exercise and take care of herself to maintain good health. She always proclaimed to get healthier after the birth of each child. She loved to dance and would dance at “the drop of a hat.” Even after she became ill in her latter years, if she heard music, she would automatically “do her thing.” She was an “instructor” in the home and wherever she went. Her children declared that she talked “all the time!” Her sisters, Faye, Ernestine, Willie and Irene preceded her in death; as did her brothers, Lawrence and Wendell.
On Feb. 21, 2006, shortly after her birthday, Mrs. Spears went on to her reward; she will be missed greatly by those who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her dad, Tom Sims; mom, Mattie Glenn Sims; husband, the Rev. Otis Spears; son, Donald Ray Carroll; siblings, Alphonso, Bobbie, Ernestine, Willie, Faye, Irene, Wendell, Lawrence, and four others.
Survivors include her children, Beverly Allen Carroll and Wesley Allen of San Diego, Calif., Ronald Cartez Carroll of San Diego, Calif., Pamela G. Smith Carroll and David Smith of Houston, P.
