Born June 29, 1937 in Reggio Calabria, Italy, Grace immigrated to the US via Ellis Island shortly after getting married to her husband, Santo and settled in Norwalk, CT.

She also enjoyed watching I Love Lucy & General Hospital. In 2016 they retired to New York. Grace was predeceased by her husband, Santo. She will be greatly missed and is survived by her children: daughters Carmela Kish and Amelia Pelton; Son Frank Ambrogio; Sister Maria Bonnaddio; brother Frank Parisi; Grandchildren: Grace Zaloski, Chris DaRoja, Santo DaRoja, Maggie Labonte, Stephanie Kish and 2 great-grandchildren and many more extended family both in the US and Italy.
