A true southern lady who will be missed by all. She not only taught many generations at Sandhills Farm Life but also taught Sunday school at Eureka. She has been an inspiration to me over the years.
The Flora and Kimrey Perkins family will miss Grace more than words can express. We will smile through our tears while remembering our good and kind friend. Our condolences to the family.

Prayers for the family of Mrs. Lingerfeldt I have many really good memories of her and Mr. Lingerfeldt from Farm Life School.
I am sure her students will never forget her. She never forgot any of us.
