Gracie Louise Duplisea, age 13, of Mt. Juliet, TN, died October 28, 2021.
Gracie was born in Springfield, TN on April 3, 2008. To know her was to love her. She was a perfect mixture of sweet and sassy with a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. Gracie was a student at Mt. Juliet Middle School and spent many years in therapy at Lyttle Fox. She was a member of Providence United Methodist Church. Gracie loved playing games and playing with her baby dolls – especially the ones that cried. She was also the “star” of the Daddy and Gracie Show on YouTube and in 2015 was named Honorary Fire Chief for the Mt. Juliet Fire Department. Gracie left an imprint on all the hearts and lives of anyone who met her.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Donna Louise Duplisea, Bobbie Lee Vaughn Litchfield, and Robert David Burdick.
