Grace Marie Zapsic

It is with much sorrow that the family of Grace Marie Mutkus Zapsic, age 90 of Midland, announces her passing on June 5, 2025, at Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford, with her daughter, Michelle, by her side.

Born on April 25, 1935, in Independence Township, she was the daughter of the late Alexander and Florene Parrish Mutkus. Growing up on a farm with her eight brothers and sisters, Grace developed an appreciation for outdoor activities. She was an exceptionally devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and loved nothing more than spending time with her family. Her husband, Don, is certain that her good cooking– especially her coconut cream pies– kept him alive for the 72 years of their marriage!

Grace was preceded in death by her brothers Richard, Raymond, Thomas, and Norman, and a sister, Alice Giralico.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Donald Zapsic, whom she married on September 16, 1953; her daughters, Michelle Perkins (Wayne) and Patti Brandon (Tim), her sons, Stephen Zapsic (Frances) and Donald Zapsic, Jr. (Millie); nine grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, and one great, great granddaughter; her brother, Alex Mutkus (Nancy) and two sisters, Nancy MacDonald (Mark) and Eileen Hramika (Patrick); and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Linda Zapsic, Leah Perkins and Good Samaritan Hospice for their loving care and concern for Grace.

Visitation will be at the Schwerha-Noll Funeral Home, 629 Midland Ave, Midland, PA 15059 on Monday, June 9, from 2:00 – 8:00 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, June 10 at 10:30 a.m. at the St. Augustine parish/ St. Blaise Catholic Church, 772 Ohio Ave., Midland, PA 15059.
