Grace enjoyed working for many years in the china department at Macy’s in New Haven until the store closed and she retired. There was nothing more important to her than her family. They were her greatest joy and greatest source of comfort in difficult times. Grace was a loving and compassionate woman who loved her family, cooking Anginettes, and cheering on UConn women’s basketball and the New York Yankees.
Grace was a faithful member of St. Pio of Pietrelcina Parish at the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, 80 Taylor Ave., East Haven, where a Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Oct. 12.
