Grace E St. Thomas

September 19, 1925 — August 5, 2018

Grace E. (Henegan) St. Thomas, 92, of Worcester died in the presence of her loving family on August 5, 2018 in St. Vincent Hospital.  Born in New York City, Grace was the daughter of Stephen F. and Grace (Kane) Henegan. She was predeceased by her brother Paul Henegan, and two sisters, Stephanie Barry and Eileen Sullivan. Grace was a graduate of South High School and lived her entire life in Worcester.

She was the loving wife of Oscar “Buck” St. Thomas who died in 2012, after 63 years of marriage. Grace was inundated with the love of her family, the fruit of the love with which she blessed them throughout her life. Grace leaves four sons, Stephen and his wife, Susan, of Wellesley, Thomas and his wife, Susan, of Bridgewater, James and his wife, Judy, of Cumberland RI and John and his wife, Jillene, of Richboro PA;  four daughters, Mary and her husband, Dave MacAdam, of Millbury, Joan and her husband, Edward Petry, of Worcester, Grace Cheffers of Winchendon and Anne and her husband, Jon Slate, of Woodstock CT.  Grace leaves thirty seven grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren.  Grace was pre-deceased by her loving grandson Allen Cheffers. 

Grace was a life-long parishioner of Our Lady of the Angels where she and Oscar sang in the choir together for many years. She will be remembered for her love for her church, family and friends.   Grace was a woman of dignity, kind and always respectful.

Grace was an avid reader, a lover of words, and a life-long learner. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. 

Our family thanks all of Grace’s friends and staff at the Willows in Worcester. She loved her home there and she loved you all. Special thanks to everyone on 36 North at St. Vincent Hospital for the wonderful care of our mother.
