It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Grace Sartor, 92, on November 1st 2022. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Placido “Jack”, and leaves behind her adoring children, Karen Medwin (Tom), Gail Sartor (Rick) and Cathy Keir (Darrell); her six grandchildren, Adam Alldis (Mary Ann), Lindsay Toomey (Greg), Meghan Watkins, Jessica Rybij (Pete), Christopher Keir and Brittany Wheeler (Carter); her seven great-grandchildren, Ava and Ella Watkins, Charlotte and Evelyn Alldis, William Toomey and Camryn and Jack Kelly. Grace also leaves behind her brother Joe Cipolla and sister-in-law Elvia Sartor (Phil). She is predeceased by her brothers Charlie Cipolla (Lena), Sam Cipolla (Olga), Jack Cipolla, Paul Cipolla (Anne) and her sister Mary Fournier (Leo). Grace will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
Grace adored her family and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. She loved to entertain family and friends, cooking and baking and making sure no one ever left hungry! Another passion of hers was music and dancing which she enjoyed and entertained the staff with at her residence at Villa Italia. She was once asked what her secret to a long life was and she said she loved to laugh. Her beloved Jack made sure she did. She had many great times with the “Sheaffe Street Gang” (cousins and friends that she grew up with) over the years and loved their get-togethers. Grace worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital for many years until she retired. She and Jack then spent time travelling and spending winters at their home in Florida. Another favourite for Grace and Jack was vacationing in Acapulco. Thank you to the staff at Villa Italia for helping Grace adjust to her new life during last two years and to St. Peter’s Hospital on Maplewood for their outstanding care and compassion and keeping our beautiful “Amazing Grace” comfortable in her final days.
Visitation will be held at FRISCOLANTI FUNERAL CHAPEL, 43 Barton St. E., on Sunday, November 6th from 1-6p.m. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Parish, 19 Viewpoint Ave, Hamilton, on Monday, November 7, 2022 at 10a.m., with entombment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Burlington.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Grace Sartor nee Cipolla February 2 1930 November 1 2022..
