Julia Fay Husser Grace

Julia Fay Husser Grace, 75, a lifelong resident of Amite, Louisiana, was born on December 30, 1950, and passed away on October 25, 2026, with her husband, Dewayne, by her side. Many in the Amite community will remember her as "Miss Julia" from the store she and Dewayne owned for years. She greeted everyone who walked through the door with a beautiful smile and a gentle nature that made them feel like family.

Julia was a child of God. She loved to sing hymns and praise Jesus, and her well-worn Bible stood as a testament to her faith. She was certain she would one day be reunited with her loved ones, and, most of all, welcomed into heaven by her Savior.

She married the love of her life on September 7, 1968. Her husband was the center of her world, and together they created a beautiful life. Her greatest accomplishment was her family. Her children, Kevin and Vanessa, were her pride and joy, and her grandchildren were her world. Her family could always count on one thing: a good meal prepared with love, and stirred with a well-worn spoon.

Julia is survived by her husband of 58 years, Dewayne Grace; her son, Kevin (Heather); her daughter, Vanessa (Donnie); her grandchildren, Dillon, Dakota, Haylee, Dalton, Devin, and Dustin; and her great-grandchildren, Kyler, Langston, Dally, Scottie, Gracelynn, and Luke. She is also survived by her brothers, Dale Husser and Sammy Husser; and her sisters, Clare Crowe and Janet McDonald.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Simon Husser, Jr. and Audrey Husser Costanza; and her brothers, Alton Husser, Delbert Husser, and Simon Husser,III.
