Barrette, Grace Lucille
(nee Schwabe) Our Amazing Grace Barrette passed into eternal life on Thursday, March 14, 2019, following a brief illness. Beloved mother of Peter (Ellen) Barrette, Paul (Rosemarie) Barrette, James (Beth) Barrette, John (Donna) Barrette; loving grandchildren Erica (J. Erik), Margret (Craig), Andrew (Becky), Katie (Brian), Lenny (Cassie), Aimee (Jason), Heidi (Tom), Meghan, and Michaela; great-grandchildren, Brody, Aubrey, Emma, Sam, Peter, Cecilia, L. J., Elsie, Rowan, Calvin, Hollis, Elizabeth, Conley, Kasey, Callen; her brother, Daniel Schwabe; and a wealth of nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by Bud, her cherished husband of 62 years, her parents, and sister, Carol. Grace was born to Peter and Pearl Schwabe in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, December 13, 1930. Hers was a life beautifully lived and her legacy an honorable example of humility, integrity, zest for living, and grace in her every endeavor. She was a woman devoted to her family, faith, service, and many friends. She was a beloved, loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend and colleague. Following her graduation from Marquette University, Grace served Milwaukee over 25 years as a compassionate and dedicated registered nurse. Grace met and married Bud in Milwaukee May 2, 1952, and together they lovingly and faithfully raised four sons. Grace’s creativity and unwavering commitment to family life served as an inspirational model to her boys. Bud’s and Grace’s 62-year marriage has been a living testament to their deeply-held beliefs, sacred commitment to one another, and active prayer life. In the greater community, Grace deeply enjoyed volunteering at Interfaith Ministries, was a Marianist Affiliate, and active founding member of St. Barbara/Rafael’s Parish. Grace’s life will be celebrated at a visitation Wednesday, March 20th beginning at 4:00 p.m. with a 7:00 p.m. vigil at the Heritage Funeral Home, 4800 S. 84th Street, Greenfield, Wisconsin, 53228.

My condolences to the Barrette Family. Grace’s life well lived as a servant of Christ is reflected in the lives of their off spring. For me, as one of those fortunate ones to work with her son Jim and daughter in law Beth, my life has been forever touched by the wisdom of Grace and Bud reflected through them. Be at peace.
