It is with great sadness that the family of Grace M. (Dulude) Kida announces her passing on February 1, 2019, after a long illness at Life Care Center of Wilbraham. Sadly, she was predeceased by her loving husband John on December 28, 2001 and her devoted and fun loving brother, James E. Dulude. She was the daughter of Roland and Bridget (Moriarty) Dulude.

Grace was born in Springfield on May 15, 1933 and graduated in 1952 from Sacred Heart School. She worked at New England Telephone and Telegraph. Grace, affectionately known as “Amazing Grace”, will be especially remembered for her spirited personality!

She was a wonderful cook, loved her Irish and Polish music, enjoyed traveling, and was an avid Red Sox fan. Grace had a passion for volunteering as helping others gave her immense joy. It her later years it brought a smile to her face from those who came to visit her or receiving cards from family and friends.

Her memory lives on in the hearts of her daughters, Colleen Linton and husband Barry, and Lori Norton and husband Ken, all of Ludlow; her grandchildren, Michael Linton and wife Julie and their boys, Brodie and Bryce, Ryan Linton and wife Lauren, Antonio Norton and Angela Norton. She also leaves several nieces and nephews and their families. A big thank you to all the staff at Life Care Center of Wilbraham for all that you did for Grace for the past seventeen plus years.
