Mary Elizabeth LeBeault was born on November 28, 1948, and met her Heavenly reward on May 16, 2026. She was the second of seven children born to Murlin and Juanita Grice. Mary grew up in Roseville, Michigan, and took extensive secretarial and clerical training in high school. With this background, she became an executive secretary at Chrysler Corporation. At the age of 30, she decided to leave Chrysler and pursue other opportunities. She continued secretarial work as a contractor for many years working until age 75.
In her own words, Mary was a good “Conversationalist”, and through those many conversations, she planted many seeds of the gospel in the hearts of countless people she met along the way. She never met a stranger that she was not willing to share the gospel with. Mary was active in the churches she attended by teaching, singing in the choir, working in the nursery, planning for the singles group, and intercessory prayer.
Mary is survived by her siblings: Cynthia Holliday of Ionia, Michigan; David Grice (Beth) of the Villages, Florida; Debbie Pershing of Rochester Hills, Michigan; Ronald Grice of Nashville, Tennessee; Doug Grice (Caryn) and Christina Grice, both of Dickson, Tennessee; and many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and grand nephews.

Mary was a sweet person, I knew her best when we were young children at Bethesda Missionary Church in Detroit, Michigan. We were in the same Sunday School classes together growing up. She loved the Lord and I was happy to know her as my friend.
Our lives went separate ways but I’ve never forgotten her and her family. I’m sorry for this huge loss to her many friends and family..✝️ 🌹💐🥀♥️
Have known Mary, Mom, Dad, family since the early 60’s.
All attending and worshiping together while at Bethesda Missionary Temple on Nevada and Van Dyke, Detroit MI.
We shared in Young People’s, Choir, various classes, and fellowshipped quite a bit.
I recall as growing older, she loved garage sales and could spot antiques.
Even though separated some 40 years or so, still would see several of her brothers, especially David.
My sincerest condolences to her siblings , et. al.
