Grace Terranova (Basile) age 95 of Wayne passed, peacefully at home, on Thursday, March 10, 2016.

She lived in Passaic for sixty years before moving to Wayne to live with her daughter Carol.

As a young woman she worked in a sweat shop that she would have to ride two different buses to get to. She met a cute man named Vincent Teranova but often told her family she didn’t want to date a guy who didn’t have a car. Vincent and Grace had a loving and devoted marriage of fifty-one years before his passing in 2000. She was a former parishioner of Our Lady of the Valley RC Church in Wayne and will be remembered as a great all around cook.

She was the loving wife of the late Vincent (2000); devoted mother of Patrick of West Long Branch, his late wife Karen, and his fiancé Marla, Vincent of Hollidaysburg, PA, Michael and his wife Debralyn of Wayne, Carol Parsons and her husband David of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Julie and Nick, Jamie and Matt, Christopher and Lauren, Kelly and Mike, Laura, and David; much loved great-grandmother of Olivia, Ryan, Charlotte, and Jax; dear sister of the late Anne, Dolly, and Michael.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital would be appreciated.
