GRACE S. FARACI, born March 30, 1954, to Concetta B. (turko) and Peter G. Faraci passed away early hours (1:44 A M June 17, 2019) at the Brigmans Women's Hospital- Boston after a long illness. She was born in Somerville and grew up in close proximity of her birth address in Medford. She was a member of Saint Polycarp where she received her Holy Sacraments. Grace was one of three siblings of the Faraci family (Joseph P. ; Jane, and Grace S.) who are first generation American born of Sicilian immigrants. Her Grandparents (Giuseppe P. and Grace along with their three children Grace; Angelina, and Peter J. Faraci) and father were proud American citizens with Peter J. Faraci serving in the ARMY during WWII, and Joseph P. Faraci serving in the ARMY as SP4 Vietnam error. Grace graduated Somerville High School in 1973, to continue her education at Bunkerhill Community College. She had ambitions in Reality; entrepreneurship, along with modeling and entertainment. She exercised her managerial interest through a brief spat of marketing, production, and distributing pastries long enough to be known in Arlington as, 'the cookie girl', for having the best f'ing cookies. Much like one character of her mentors writings: (Audrey Landers', "Happiness is like a butterfly, Which when pursued is, Always beyond our grasp. But if you sit quietly… It will land on you"), Grace had a diverse employment history ranging from Shaffts, Hood, Welch and Forbes; entertainment at Arlington's nursing home; she even distributed the Boston Globe. Due to illness Grace had an early retirement. On her departure Grace leaves her (to-be) long companion of 17 years, David Carnes, who eagerly awaits to rejoice with Grace in Heaven… Her loss is felt in many ways. She was well disaplined, thorough; ambitious, dedicated; reliable; clean, and one of the most honest people I ever known. She was truly meek. Grace S. Faraci, was buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery.
