The angels came for Grace on January 13, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Grace Lillian was born in the Bronx, New York and moved to Rutherford, New Jersey where she lived with her family for over 40 years. Grace was involved in many associations and activities including the Rosary Society and St. Mary’s Hospital Volunteer. Grace’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the primary focus of her life. She never missed an event near or far.
