Oxford, NJ – Mrs. Grace Catherine Cerrato, 80, passed away on November 2, 2024, at the Warren Haven Nursing Home in Oxford. Born in Dover, she enjoyed life in Hackettstown before moving to Oxford four years ago. Grace had a fulfilling career as a secretary at Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township and was known for her passions—birdwatching, her beloved dogs, and her cherished grandchildren as well as her dear family and friends. Her infectious laugh, love for animals, and indomitable spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

Grace was predeceased by her husband, Albert C. Cerrato, in 2019, and her eldest grandson, Christopher M. Williams, in 2015. She is survived by her devoted daughters, Lisa Cerrato-Joly (and husband Bernard Joly) of East Stroudsburg, PA, and Candice Williams (and husband Mark Williams) of Altamont, TN. Grace also leaves behind her grandchildren Grayson, Kyle, and Jon, along with eight bonus grandchildren and 17 bonus great-grandchildren.

Family and friends are cordially invited to gather at the Davis & Hepplewhite Funeral Home, located at 96 Main Street, Succasunna, NJ, on Friday, November 8th, from 3 PM to 6 PM, with a service at 5 PM. Interment will take place at Succasunna Presbyterian Cemetery at a later date.
