"Miss" Lee Pace, age 87 of Arlington, passed away Saturday, March 16, 2019, at her home.
She was born in Pocahontas, TN on Wednesday, February 3, 1932 to the late Wyley Frank and Margaret Elizabeth Wilbanks Mathis. She grew up there and had lived in Arlington since 1995. She was the widow of Mr. Ralph A. Pace.
