Grace Belle Bookheimer, 93, of Ocean Pines, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Grace was born on August 4, 1932, in Indian Head, Maryland, to the late Herbert and Marian Miller.

As a young woman, Grace was a talented musician, playing the piano in bands and singing solos at various church functions. She married Paul D. Bookheimer, from Clairton, Pennsylvania, in 1956. Grace and Paul lived in Washington, D.C., and Indian Head, before moving to Ocean Pines from Severna Park, Maryland, in 1981. She retired from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and had a successful career in real estate in Ocean City, Maryland. She loved family, friends, flowers, travel, books, and dogs.

She is survived by her son Carlton Bookheimer of Ocean Pines, Maryland and daughter Marian Rice of Midlothian, Virginia, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

“It’s never too late” was a phrase popular with her. Her smiling face and wit will be severely missed.
