Grace Ann Bobby

(nee Rizzo) 75 years old, passed away surrounded by the love and comfort of her family on November 5, 2025.

Daughter of the late Sam and Grace (nee Flacco) Rizzo. Grace grew up surrounded by her siblings—Geraldine (James) DeFeo, John Rizzo, and Frank (Shelley) Rizzo — and by a deep-rooted belief in family values and hard work.

She was the beloved wife of Paul Bobby Sr. for the past fifty-four years.   Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and faith. She was a devoted mother to her daughter, DonnaMarie (Matthew) Gallo, and her son, Paul (Carol) Bobby Jr. She was the doting grandmother of Paul Bobby III and Caitlyn (Chris) Corcoran. Her joy multiplied with the arrival of her great-grandchildren, Everlee and Ben, who brought her endless smiles and happiness.

Grace was a hardworking, compassionate and dedicated woman. She was a talented hairstylist and business owner, who was well known in her community for her skill and care in making others feel beautiful, both inside and out. After retirement from hairstyling, she decided to volunteer at her local AWA.  She immediately became a foster fail by adopting her four kittens, that she loved and cherished very much.   Later, she brought her warmth and guidance to her local high school, serving as a special needs aide and hall monitor, where she touched the lives of countless students and faculty with her kindness, patience and fun filled spirit.

Grace was known for her warm heart and generosity. She found great joy in cooking for her loved ones, filling her home with delicious meals.  The comforting smells of family favorites, such as Easter ham pies, homemade ravioli and meatballs to name a few. Her kitchen was a gathering place where stories were shared, laughter echoed, and everyone felt welcome.

A woman of deep faith, Grace was an active member of her church community at Holy Family. She found strength, friendship, and a heartfelt purpose in becoming a Eucharistic minister, visiting the sick and homebound.    Her kindness, compassion, and unwavering belief in God touched everyone who knew her.

Grace’s legacy will forever live on through the love she gave, the traditions she built, and the family she so cherished. She will be remembered always for her warmth, her devotion, and her ability to make everyone feel at home.

Family and friends are invited to attend her Mass of Christian Burial Monday 11:00 AM at the Church of the Holy Family, 226 Hurffville Road, Washington Twp.  Interment, Gloucester County Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Williamstown.

In honor of Grace’s life, in lieu of flowers or other acts of sympathy, her family would encourage any donations to Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
