WORCESTER - Mary A. (Palumbo) Grimaldi, 101, of Worcester, passed away on October 13, 2018 peacefully surrounded by her family.
Mary was born in Worcester on September 9, 1917 a daughter of late John and Antoinette (Izzo) Palumbo. She was the loving wife of the late Joseph A. Grimaldi.

Mary enjoyed making aprons, afghans, hats, lap robes “for the elderly,” watching EWTN and the Waltons, making anisette and waffle cookies, homemade macaroni, Baccala on Christmas Eve, and Baked Rice for Easter. She was the best Ma, Nana, and Aunty Mary we could have asked for.
