Grace M. Schiavone

(nee Falzarano) On July 13, 2024 of Somerdale, NJ, age 91 passed peacefully with her children at her side. Beloved wife of the late Ben, devoted mother of Benny, Candy & Diane. Loving grandmother of Joseph, Nicole, Eric, Richard & Carli Rose. Loving Great Grandmother of Logan, Ellie & Ean. Dear sister of Doloros, Michael & Phillip & predeceased by Sarah & Richard.

Grace, a farm girl from Glassboro, grew up during the Great Depression.  She lived a life many could not imagine.  In high school she met her one true love, Ben.  From the time they met their world travels began.  Living in England, then back to the states while Ben was in the Air Force, finally buying their first home in Magnolia, NJ. Knowing a family is not complete without children they started their family. First with Benny, then Candy and then little sister Diane.

Grace dedicated herself to her children and saw that, as a family they ventured outside of New Jersey to see the states.  Grace and her family traveled to every state in the continental US.  From South of the Border, to Mount Rushmore to Yosemite, they saw it all.  No flying for this crew, all by car. Things did not stop here.  Ben and Grace traveled to nearly all the continents.

All throughout life she shared her time with her friends, beloved siblings and nieces and nephews. Her greatest passion however was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

As we celebrate her life, we remember her as a devoted Catholic and take joy that she will join her family and friends waiting for her in heaven.

Family and friends are invited to attend her viewing Friday 9:30 – 11:00 AM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 12:00 PM at Our Lady of Hope/St. Agnes Church, Blackwood. Entombment Calvary Cemetery, Cherry Hill.
