Eva Virginia Grace, 72 of Wiscasset, passed away on the morning of March 26, 2023 at the MidCoast Hospital in Brunswick, after a period of declining health. Born in Providence, Rhode Island on March 11th, 1951, she was the daughter of Andrew and Yvonne Vaccaro.
Born and raised in Rhode Island, she attended schools there and graduated from Central High school in 1969. In 2011 she retired to move to Maine with her husband, Kenny, to be closer to her family, especially her grandchildren.
Eva truly enjoyed music, and she loved going to gigs and watching her husband play the bass! The music business was a huge part of her life, and her second family. She was always ready to hit the dance floor and have a grand time.
She loved to cook, and it was her passion.
Eva/Nana the goddess, loved her family more than anything in the world. She lived for her family, especially her littles. She never missed a holiday, game, an event, or a birthday; she was always there. She never let her health conditions stop her, and always pulled through so she wouldn’t miss a thing. She was the strongest, most loving woman we all know.
Eva had a heart of gold, and anyone who had the pleasure to meet her was blessed. She was truly one of a kind, and loved so deeply. She was the one her family could all call and know they would receive no judgment; just pure unconditional love.
Toward the end of her life, her health issues got the best of her. She fought so hard for so long, but we are a little at peace knowing she is no longer in pain.
She was predeceased by her father, Andrew Vaccaro; her mother, Yvonne Vaccaro; and a sister-in-law, Valerie Vaccaro.
She is survived by her husband, Kenneth Grace of Wiscasset; son, Francis Brown of Rhode Island; daughter, Jennifer Grace of Wiscasset, Maine; grandchildren, Brittany Waite and her husband Josh Waite of Wiscasset, Maine, Jailee Grace and her husband Cameron Daly of Wiscasset, Maine, and Aaron Derocher of Gardiner, Maine; great-grandchildren and her pride and joy, Dominic and Kinsley Waite, Levi Daly, and a baby on the way in September; brothers, Gerald and his wife Janine Vaccaro, Andy Paul (Angela Wood), and Michael Vaccaro; as well as many nieces and nephews.
