Grace was blessed with a loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband Joe, with whom she spent a wonderful life together for over 60 years!

She is also survived by sisters-in-law Carmel Julius, Marie M. Pappano and brother-in-law Ed Rosa, along with many loving and supportive nieces, nephews and cousins.
Grace was a very talented woman. She was a great homemaker, seamstress, cook and master of Italian pastries. She was formerly employed as a draftsman at Goodyear Aerospace and also worked in the Sale Audit Department of O'Neils (Macy's).
