brothers and sisters. Two of her
sisters live not far from the home
she and her hosbamt - Warren
Jackson - share at the edge of a
woods near Hollyville. "I call
them every night before I go to
bed - to say good night."
She takes similar care with
many family members who have
passed on., At Christmas and
Easter she crafts a variety of arti-
ficial floral arrangements and uses
them to decorate the graves of
close family members in the
cemeteries of Harmony Church
near Millsboro, Christ Church at
Hollyville and Israel Church near
Five Points.
Her Native American heritage
also remains important to Grace.
Grandchildren don Native
American garb each fall for the
Nanticoke Powwow where they
dance and get together with hun-
dreds of relatives throughout the
area. She also goes to a powwow
in New Jersey where many of her
mother's relatives live. "My
mother was from Cheswold, part
of the Lenape tribe, and many of
her relatives moved up there."
The Native American heritage of
which Grace and all of her family
are proud is the ingredient which
held her community together and
taught her how to get along with
all.
"We were a nation that the
whites didn't want and the blacks
didn't want. So we had to fight to
make our own way and that's
what I did."

his parents, by his wife Susan
