On June 22, 1981, a bouncing baby girl was born. Angel Denise Pace was born to Sharon Pace Stafford and Anthony Grady in Ft. Worth, Texas. She attended Polytechnic High School in Ft. Worth. Her family was her life, she took care of all the children and did any and everything for anyone. She enjoyed taking care of children, family functions, and traveling. She also loved to read books, getting recipes to cooks, bake, eating candy and playing games on her phone. Angel was so goofy at times. Four years ago, she moved to Karnack to start a new chapter in her life. She enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking her coffee, laughing and talking and watching Kingston run around the yard playing.
