Grace Endris Haynes completed her earthly journey and was called home by our Savior on December 14th, 2015 after a courageous fight against osteosarcoma.  Grace always held strong to her faith and made her incredible love for God known to others. Grace’s passions were driven by her artistic spirit and love of animals, especially her puppy Jesse.  She found joy in baking treats for friends and family, pursuing rescue options for animals and painting beautiful artwork.  Grace was an inspiration and taught us to live life to the fullest and always keep our eyes on God.

While we grieve our loss, we remember to rejoice and praise our Holy God for the blessing of Grace’s presence in our lives for 14 years and for the gift of salvation that rewards her.   She truly touched the hearts of everyone she met with her giving and compassionate spirit and has made a lasting impact on so many lives.  She will forever remain in our hearts.   

Grace is survived by her loving parents, Robert (Lee) Haynes, Jr. of Lincolnton, N.C. and Yvonne and Sean Nagle of Huntersville, N.C.; brother Colin Nagle; grandparents,  Brenda Heavner of Gastonia, N.C., Sam and Jane Hicks of Gastonia, N.C., Eugene and Karen Endris of  Ft. Wayne, Indiana and John and Bernadine Nagle of Gastonia, N.C.      She is also survived and loved dearly by many aunts, uncles and cousins.   

She is preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Robert L. Haynes, Sr. of Lincolnton, N.C.
