Grace Allen Quirk, 89, formerly of Pennsville, NJ, passed away from a lengthy illness on February 16, 2024 with her husband, Frank, and their oldest daughter by her side.
In Grace’s younger years she participated in high school band and sports and enjoyed roller skating at the Riverview Beach Park. She became a skilled bowler, sometimes traveling distances to participate in bowling tournaments.
Grace made many great memories with family, friends and neighbors. She served the community in many ways including caring for neighbors’ children and as a troop leader for local girl scouts.
Grace will always be remembered for her devotion, generosity and contributions to her family, friends, those in need, activities and get-togethers.
The family recalls fun times from when Grace would reel in the largest flounder of the season in Avalon, NJ, to having the tender touch of comforting a crying baby when no one else could. She and her husband, Frank, enjoyed traveling on vacations with their family. Grace and her husband passed on the joy of fishing and boating with their daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Grace is survived by her husband, Frank, of almost seventy years, daughters, Linda (George), Sharon (Harry), Brenda (Glenn), five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to BAYADA Hospice Care.
Memorial Mass and celebration of the life of Grace will be held at 11 AM on Thursday, February 29th in the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 51 Broad St., Woodstown, NJ, for those that wish to attend.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Hospital for Children or an animal shelter of your choice.
