Grace Marie Lipczynski

Grace Marie Lipczynski, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026. Beloved daughter of Beth Anne Kuerzdoerfer, Grace’s warmth and laughter touched all who knew her. She was a loving sister to Katherine (Michael) Hockwater and a treasured granddaughter of Norman and Patricia Kuerzdoerfer (née Towlson). Her gentle spirit was further surrounded by the affection of her uncle David Kuerzdoerfer, aunt Karen (Thomas) Bogdan, and aunt Susan Kuerzdoerfer, as well as many cousins, dear friends, and loved ones who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance on Tuesday from 3 to 8 PM at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 5090 Transit Road. Prayers will be held Wednesday morning at 9 AM, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 AM at Our Lady of Victory Basilica, where Grace’s life will be lovingly celebrated.

In honor of Grace’s memory, the family kindly declines flowers. Those wishing to pay tribute may consider contributions to Hospice Buffalo, Inc., reflecting the care and compassion that so defined her life. 

Grace’s presence may have departed from this world, but the love she inspired remains a shining light for all who knew her.
