Grace Biraghi

Grace (née Williams) Biraghi, aged 97, passed into eternal life on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at Foothill Acres Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Helen Williams. Grace spent the majority of her life in Manville, New Jersey, where she began her residence following her marriage in 1950. In her younger years, Grace primarily dedicated herself to being a homemaker, taking immense pride in nurturing and raising her family. Family held the highest significance for her. As she aged, she particularly cherished the moments spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Before her retirement, Grace was employed at Baker and Taylor in Somerville, New Jersey, where she served as an order processor for more than a decade. She was a devoted member of Christ the King Roman Catholic Church in Manville. Grace found joy in assembling jigsaw puzzles and engaging in word puzzles. She never voiced complaints and was regarded as the kindest mother anyone could wish for. In addition to her parents, Grace was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Francis J. Biraghi, in 1973; and as the eldest of ten siblings, she was also preceded by two brothers and six sisters. Grace is survived by her three loving children, Francis Biraghi of Branchburg, New Jersey, Janet Kimock Biraghi and her husband Bill Green of Burlington County, New Jersey, and Jeff Biraghi and his wife Joni of Manville; her dear sister, Helen Speck; five cherished grandchildren, JD, Kyle, Hayley, Scotty, and Kristen; and three adored great granddaughters, Parker, Hannah, and Olivia.
