Born in Pittsburgh, PA she was the daughter of the late James and Dorothy Nardulli. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 56 ½ years, Carl W. Regutti. Grace lived an active life traveling with Carl to several countries, annual summer vacations with her children and their families, visiting children and grandchildren out of town, and traveling with friends. She did volunteer work at the homeless shelter from time to time amongst other volunteer work. Some of her best times were spent weekly over the years with her dear friends – the Yoga Babes.
Grace was so much fun to be around with her firey spirit and witty sense of humor. Being a red head, she was always so thrilled when one of the grandchildren was a red head as well, and a lot of teasing went with it.
She was a wonderful wife, an awesome mother and a truly fun Gee-Gee. Grace will be in all our hearts forever. We will hang onto all the great memories. She was and will be loved always.
She was the loving mother of Mari (Dan) Blackburn, Carl Jr (Toni) Regutti, Diane (Andy) Keil, Dorette (Mark) Arbogast. Dear Gee-Gee to Michael Blackburn, Amanda Blackburn and Heather Blackburn (Mark), Nikkole Garn, Rochelle Regutti, Joshua (Megan) Regutti, Kailin Regutti, Drew Keil, Bryan Keil, Ryan Arbogast, Shannon Arbogast, Sarah Arbogast.

Quotes
“Death leaves a heartache NO ONE can heal, Love leaves a memory NO ONE can steal.”
“We thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part.”
