Born 9/26/35 in Chicago, Mary Grace was the loving daughter of Nancy and Joseph Lomonaco, who emigrated to the U.S. from Italy. She was the twin sister to Maura, who was not only her "double" but her best friend. Mary Grace grew up with her cousins Angelo and Mary Grace and they and their families remained close.
After graduating from Tooley High School, Mary Grace began her career at Illinois Bell where she remained for nearly 50 years.
In the late 1960's, Mary Grace, Maura, and their parents moved from Chicago to Oak Park, where they were active in many Oak Park activities especially St. Angela's Parish.
In the mid 1990's, Mary Grace and Maura built their dream home in Bartlett, where she enjoyed her neighbors and the community. She was also a member of St. Peter Damian Church.
Mary Grace's favorite activities were spending time with her large extended family and friends who loved and cherished her.
