Grace Susan Daversa

Grace was a consummate mother and homemaker. An individual who was passionate about her family. She demonstrated her love by whipping up fabulous meals of homemade ravioli, poleta, pasta and gravy, Easter bread, Christmas cookies, and the list goes on and on. Mom sure knew how to cook up a bunch of love. She enjoyed spending time with her family, listening to stories and laughing about nonsense with her grandchildren. We celebrate her life as a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She lived her life as a mother who did her best to guide her children in the right direction. She lived her life as a dedicated wife and companion of 65 years to her husband who loved her just as deeply. In our hearts she is fondly remembered as the sweetest and kindest person on earth, and those who loved her in life sincerely will love her in death just the same.

Grace was predeceased by her loving husband Santo R. Daversa. She was also predeceased by her granddaughter Erica L. Daversa.

She is survived by her three sons and their spouses, Joseph and wife Joan, Nicholas and wife Cindy, and Santo and wife Vilma. She was fortunate to have eight loving grandchildren and three beautiful great grandchildren.
