Palomba, Grazia Bicaci

Grazia "Grace" Clementa Bicaci Palomba, 70, a 
homemaker, of Las Vegas, passed away April 17, 2010. 
She was born Jan. 28, 1940, in Milano, Italy, and resided 
in California until 1991. Her second home in Las Vegas 
became her permanent residence. Grace married twice 
and had two children and two grandchildren. Grace was 
a woman of the world. She was educated in Italy and 
Cambridge, London. She was a translator when she 
came to the U.S. She spoke many languages, Italian, 
English, Spanish, French and some Turkish. We will miss 
her amazing cooking. Her hands were blessed with a 
special touch in her cuisine. Grace was a very positive 
and supportive person; and she adored her children and 
grandchildren. She made friends easily, and her smile 
and presence lit up the room. She still had friends from 
the beginning of her childhood. Grace was well-
respected; to know her was to love her. She loved Las 
Vegas, gambling and going to shows. She loved music 
and dancing. She frequented the Santa Fe Casino and 
everyone knew her, she was so friendly with her 
gleaming smile!!! Grace was preceded in death by her 
mother, Bianca Nardo Rossi; father, Ensenio Rossi; and 
her husband, Giovanni Palomba. She is survived by her 
loving daughter and son, Bianca Bicaci of Ohio, and son, 
Zack Bicaci of Las Vegas; and Bianca's two children, 
Michael and Marissa. Services will be at 1:30 p.m. 
Saturday, April 24, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic 
Church, 1811 Pueblo Vista Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89128. 
The family asks that donations be made to Bianca Bicaci 
in care of the church. Grace will be sorely missed by 
those who had the pleasure of knowing her. She will be 
in our hearts forever. "We love and adore you, Mom. 
Rest in Peace."
