Joan Grace

DOVER – Joan (Williams) Grace, 89, entered into rest on Friday, November 6, 2026 at her home. She was the loving and devoted wife of Gene E. Grace. The couple celebrated 34 years of marriage on October 10, 2026 and shared a special, everlasting love for one another.

Born August 29, 1937 in Freeland, MD, Joan was a daughter of the late Wilson and Hazel (Hutchins) Williams.

Joan retired from Pfaltzgraff following over 20 years of service as an inspector. She was also a self-employed beautician. Joan’s many interests included crafting, quilting, reading, gardening, swimming, puzzles and Disney movies. She also enjoyed eating Maryland Blue Crabs and was a collector of many things. Above everything else, Joan loved the time spent with her family.

In addition to her husband, Joan is survived by her children, Annette Yeager, Torey Trout and Jill Shaulis; her step-children, Allen Grace, Lorie Myers and Tammy Butler; ten grandchildren; five great grandchildren; a brother, Barry Williams; and a sister, Tina Tyler. She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Cindy Miller; grandson, Dylan Yeager; and two brothers, Ronald and Wilson Williams.

Following cremation, a celebration of Joan’s life will be scheduled at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Emig Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Inc., Dover.
