Born in Plainfield, she later married and moved to Scotch Plains in 1946 and has been a lifelong resident since.
Mary was a member of the Fanwood Senior Citizens group. Strong in her faith and a devout parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary, she was a member of the Rosary Altar Society. She faithfully upheld and passed down many Italian family traditions such as Sunday and holiday dinners, and took great pride in feeding all that walked through her doors. Anyone was welcome at her table.
She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband of 62 years John DiPace, and two siblings Phyllis Della Santi and Joseph Gannacci.
She is survived by her six children: Anthony (Denise), John (Dorian), Debra (Carolyn Donner), Nick (Stephanie), Mary Ann (Lisa Ward), Lisa (Patricia DiCarlo); six loving grandchildren Jennifer (Neil), John (Lara), Anthony (Christine), Christina, Joseph and Alexandra (Ryan); and four great-grandchildren Ava, Zachary, Jackson and Caia; and her sister-in-law Louise Gannacci.

The thing I loved most about going to grandma's house and seeing her was knowing that she would always be excited to see us.
