Grace was born on January 24, 1944, in Morehead City, North Carolina, to the late Clarence Dixon and Edith Willis Dixon. A woman of strong Christian faith, she was a longtime member of Salter Path Methodist Church. Some of Grace’s accomplishments included being nominated to the Homecoming Court at Morehead City High School in 1962. Later that same year, she was crowned Miss Salter Path, a title she undoubtedly cherished.

Grace shared a beautiful life with her sweetheart, Norwood, and together they were blessed with 56 years of marriage. Through Norwood’s work as a commercial fisherman, they built a business and a lasting legacy as owners of Frost Seafood Market and Frost Seafood House Restaurant. They took great pride in serving fresh, locally caught seafood to the Crystal Coast community for more than 50 years.

Beyond their business, Grace enjoyed many interests and hobbies. She loved preparing delicious meals for her family and could cook just about anything and she enjoyed eating as much as she enjoyed making it. She also had quite the sweet tooth and never turned down a favorite treat. Grace loved staying active through tennis, a sport she thoroughly enjoyed. She was also a talented seamstress with a special gift for recovering and restoring furniture. She and Norwood shared a love for adventure and were always ready to travel, explore new places, and enjoy time together on the open road.

Above all, Grace cherished her family and treasured every moment spent with them. Her grandchildren held an especially special place in her heart, bringing her immeasurable joy and happiness.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her sons, Rodney Shawn Frost and wife Deana Steed Frost of Morehead City, NC and Anthony Todd Frost of Salter Path, NC; sister, Terry Lupton of Morehead City, NC; grandchildren, Joshua Frost, Aaron Frost, Daniel Frost, Olivia Frost, and Catherine Frost; and several loving nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Grace was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Norwood Kline Frost; and sisters, Carolyn Pittman, Margaret Cunningham and Polly Joyce Hopewell.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to Salter Path Methodist Church, P.O. Box 70, Salter Path, NC 28575.
