BLAKEBORO. Grace Evelyn passed away peacefully and went to be with her Lord 
Jesus Christ early in the morning of August 3, 2004, at the age of 92. Grace 
was born in Pecos, Texas in 1912 and moved with her family to California in 
1918. She graduated from Whittier High School in 1930 and in 1934 married 
Clarence Blakeboro, her devoted husband of 69 years. Grace and Clarence made 
their home in Lompoc for many years before moving to Santa Barbara in 1961. 
Grace and Clarence have been residents of the Solvang Lutheran Home since 
2002. Deeply committed to her Christian faith, Grace was a longtime member of 
Grace Church (now Shoreline Community Church). Whether doing household chores 
while listening to gospel radio, leading a bible study group despite her shy 
nature or dressing for church when the pain of arthritis would deter all but 
the strong of heart, Grace's religious devotion defined her life. Having 
survived two battles with .cancer over the last twenty years, Grace was no 
stranger to adversity. Grace's family and friends were inspired by her 
perseverance and courage through these challenges and guided by her wisdom. 
Grace is survived by her husband Clarence; her sister Betty Levens; her sons, 
Lee Blakeboro and Alan Blakeboro; her daughter-in-law Carol Blakeboro, who was 
her rock of support over the last few years of her life; and by five 
grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The family expresses its 
appreciation to the nurses of the Solvang Lutheran Home for their loving care 
in Grace's final days. A family service will be planned. In lieu of flowers, 
the family prefers, at Grace's request, a donation to the Assistance Fund of 
Shoreline Community Church in Santa Barbara.
