Bobby Pace was born November 20, 1946, the seventh child of Wiley and Jocyphine Prestage Pace. He attended elementary and High School at Johns and Puckett Public School. He went to Hinds Community College and graduated from Mississippi College. He worked in Banking and for MEMA for a period of time. The rest of his years, he was engaged in housing construction and repairs. The last years he worked for Larry Edwards and became a part of their family.
If you wanted to perk up his life all you had to say was “I need something.” He never retired from doing and being who he was.
He and his wife Joyce became earliest members of The Point United Methodist Church. This Church Family became extremely important to them. Most important was his wife, Joyce, his children, Todd, Jay and Amy, but most important was his granddaughters, Holly and Katherine. A close 2nd was his 4 legged children, his dogs and cats.
Bobby died October 16, 2016 at Hospice Ministries after a lengthy battle with cancer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Wiley and Jocyphine Pace; brothers, J. W. and Billy Ray Pace; sisterS, Myrtle Sanders Mills; brothers in law, Kermit Sanders and Elton Moore; and one sister in law, Donna Pace.
