Daily Press  July 13, 2005
Grace Molfino passed away Monday, June 27, 2005, two weeks before her 90th 
birthday. She was the daughter of John and Marguerite Papagni and was born in 
Bari, Italy, in 1915.

At the age of eight, she immigrated with her family to the United States, joining 
with the thousands of Europeans who passed through Ellis Island. Raised in 
Brooklyn, N.Y., she married John Losciale in 1934 and remained in New York until 
moving to Virginia Beach in 1959.

Following the death of her husband in 1960, Grace remained in Virginia Beach until 
1969, when she married Paul Molfino and moved to Hallandale, Fla. After Paul died 
in 1995, Grace continued to live in Florida until 2000, when she returned to 
Virginia Beach to live with her grandson, Micah Losciale, and his wife, Joy. She 
spent the final year of her life as a resident of Warwick Forest in Newport News. 
Grace was known as an accomplished seamstress and an even more accomplished cook. 
She delighted in entertaining her family and friends, providing bountiful meals of 
Southern Italian cuisine.

Throughout her life, Grace was a loving wife and mother and committed to her 
extensive family reaching across the United States and Italy.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Rosalie Losciale; grandson, Robert 
Jugo; and eight brothers and sisters, who left her with numerous nieces and 
nephews.

She is survived by two daughters, Betty Kircher and her husband, Rudy, of Houston, 
Texas, and Rita Wharton and her husband, Wade, of Yorktown, Va., and her son, 
Vinny Losciale and his wife, Jan, of Virginia Beach. She also leaves behind nine 
grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be conducted at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 16, at Weymouth 
Funeral Home with her son, the Rev. Vinny Losciale, officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family desires that memorial contributions be made to St. 
John Neumann Academy, P.O. Box 11052, Blacksburg, VA 24602.
