Born August 21, 1942 in Shreveport, LA to Joseph H. and Zena C. Marabella, Grace Ann was a selfless and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt to her family. Grace Ann's life was a personification of the Beatitudes outlined by Christ in His Sermon on the Mount.

Grace Ann was preceeded in death by her father, Joseph H. Marabella; mother Zena Cush Marabella, and sister-in-law Nancy Sage Marabella.
She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Jasper (Jay) S. Titone; son Stephen A. Titone and his wife Anne; daughter Rebecca M. Titone; son Gregory J. Titone and his wife Kimberly; six grandaughters Brittany Titone St. Martin and her husband Patrick, Sarah Titone, Stacy Titone, Ashley Titone, Melanie Titone, and Alyssa Titone; brother Sam Marabella and fiancee Karen Aylor; nephew Paul Marabella and his wife Liza; two great nieces Samantha and Sarena; and great nephew Sage.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Grace. May she rest in the arms of the Lord. We just found out she may be related to us in Lima, Ohio. She had sent pictures to a relative who had passed away and we found the pictures. Wish could have met her.

Jay and family, I am writing this note with such sadness and shock. Grace Ann was a wonderfully creative and talented woman and one who loved her family above all else. Our husbands worked together for Betz Laboratories and then Petrolite. Lots of memories. Rest in Peace
