A graduate of Hasbrouck Heights High School class of 1947, she gathered annually for a reunion lunch with her classmates and was delighted when their longstanding tradition was written about in The Observer.

She will long be remembered for sharing her love of food and hosting delicious meals for her beloved family and friends. As an eleven year breast cancer survivor she never forgot the time spent in treatment and crocheted blankets that she distributed every Christmas to the patients receiving infusion therapy at Holy Name Medical Center, always including a special note encouraging them not to give up and being an inspiration by her presence. The legacy of Grace’s kind spirit will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
