Grace worked at Sears Roebuck, Co. for several years in the catalog order department. She then worked for Titche-Goettinger (later Dillard's) in downtown Dallas for fifteen years in their accounts payable department. After a brief retirement in which she cared for her grandchildren, Grace was back to work! She worked for ten years for two Oak Cliff doctors as a bookkeeper, until she retired for good in 1994. Grace Sosebee was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Clifford, and her sons C. Dale and Donald Wayne.
