Grady Allen Houser changed his address to Heaven on November 23, 2020. Those closest to him are saddened by the move but are very thankful that he was not only a part of their past, but he is now a part of their future. He went by many names throughout his lifetime. He was Allen, Hoss to his closest friends, Daddy to his girls, Grady to his G.E. friends, and his favorite, Pawpaw. He was overheard many times by family members, telling those he just met to “call me Pawpaw.”
Grady (Pawpaw Allen) was a lifetime resident of Priceville, AL. He was born June 14, 1939. He graduated from Priceville High School in 1957.
He married the love of his life, Emma Jean Lawrence, on October 10, 1958; they were married 62 years.
Grady (Pawpaw Allen) was a farmer pure and simple. He was most at home on a tractor. He could tell you more than you ever wanted to know about cotton, soybeans, wheat, corn, and pigs. Apart from his family, farming was his love. However, to supplement his income, he did retire from G.E. in Decatur, AL. There he made many friends whom he cherished.
Grady Allen Houser is survived by wife, Emma Jean Houser; Children Kim Houser Smith (Spike); Connie Houser Roy, Kerry Houser Ozbolt (Mark), and Emily Houser Fennel; Sister Mable Houser White; Grandchildren Chas Darnell (Lindsay), Cassie Roy Richards (Lucas), Randall Roy (Jessica), Mark Thompson (Whitney), Austin Long, Elizabeth Long, and Jacob Long (Samantha); Great-grand Children Alyssa, Madison, Grady, Natalie, Noah, Ryleigh, Thomas, Clara, Keelan, Trace and Asher.
He was preceded in death by his parents Dewey and Omal Houser.
Pallbearers are Chas Darnell, Randall Roy, Alex White, Donnie Barber, Richard Mordic, and J.C. Martin.
Honorary Pallbearers and lifelong friends are Ted Grantland Billy Van Clark.
