Patricia M. Grace passed away on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, after a brief illness. She was born on November 20, 1954, in New York City. Pat was a Legal Secretary for 46 years at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York City, where she made a lasting impact through her dedication, professionalism, and the many friendships she formed over the years.
She was the daughter of the late William and Margaret (Conroy) Grace. Loving sister of the late William P. Grace; Kevin F. Grace (Pat), Mary V. Starro (Tom), and Margaret M. Green (Bill). Adored Godmother to Thomas W. Starro, Kathleen M. Grace, Theresa M. Bradley, and Matthew Bove. Cherished aunt to nine nieces and nephews and eighteen great-nieces and great-nephews. She was also a devoted fur mom to several beloved dogs and cats throughout her life, each of whom held a special place in her heart.
Pat will be remembered for her kind heart, unwavering loyalty, quiet strength, and generous spirit. She treasured time spent with her family and friends, and her warmth, humor, and compassion touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She found great joy in life's simple pleasures and was always ready to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement.
Pat's memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, colleagues, and all whose lives she enriched. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
