Grace B. Musso

Grace B. Musso, age 91 years, of Madison, CT and Washington Township, NJ, passed away peacefully at home in New Jersey on Thursday, June 7, 2007.

The widow of Ignatius Musso, Grace was born July 19, 1915 in Brooklyn, New York to Joseph and Mary Nutt. Throughout her life, Grace loved shopping, country music, crossword puzzles and chocolate. Her remarkable sense of humor and extraordinary good will endeared her to everyone she met.

Having spent most of her years in Brooklyn, she later re-located to be closer to her children and grandchildren, whom she took great joy in 'spoiling.' To her, family meant everything. She will be tremendously missed by all.

Grace was the loving mother to Lynne Leeder and husband Ken of New Jersey, Larry Musso and wife Betsy of New York, Stephanie Bulyk and husband Spider of Connecticut, and Kathleen Musso who pre-deceased her. She was the devoted grandmother of Jennifer, Kenneth and Erin Leeder, Lawrence Musso, Jamin Bulyk and Taralyn Bulyk-Watrous and husband Trevor.

She is also survived by her sisters, Cecelia Nutt of Florida and Dolores Lieth of New York and many, many nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her sisters, Marguerite Nutt, Marie Linden, Florence Geisen and Lucille Kennedy and by her brother, Howard Nutt.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. in St. Rose of Lima Church, Massapequa, NY. Interment will be in Long Island National Cemetery, Farmingdale, NY.
