Grace Albin Smith Bobrowski, loving wife of the late Russell Bobrowski; mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Friday, October 13, 2017. She was 87 years old.

Grace attended Sophie Newcomb College as a pianist and after marrying Russell, an accomplished symphony violinist and raising her family, studied pottery at the Penland School of Crafts. She later opened her own studio, The Empty Nest, and made thousands of pots, which she sold in local galleries, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and other craft shows for nearly 30 years.

She will be dearly missed by her four children: Angela Bobrowski; Gina Voelker Bobrowski; Paul Bobrowski and wife Donna; Dr. Joseph Bobrowski and wife Patricia; her grandchildren Kevin, Max, Griffin, August (Gus) Voelker, Benjamin and Laurel; and countless relatives and friends.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend her wake at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd, on Sunday, October 22, 2017 from 2:00-5:00 pm followed by a reception at Mandina’s Restaurant, 3800 Canal St, New Orleans. A funeral service will be held the following morning, Monday, October 23, 2017 at 10:00 am in the Lake Lawn Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you donate in her name to the Maryknoll Missionaries (www.maryknoll.org).

Glad that Grace was in our lives for so long. Her stories, many passed down from Granny, will live on.

Her art lives on in my household. Grace gave me a pitcher years ago with the instructions that I use it regularly and not just put it on a shelf for decoration. Been following her instructions daily for 25+ years.

Peace be with you Angie, Gina, Paul and Joseph.

My heart goes out to the family and friends. May the fond memories of your loved one and the loving support from others bring you consolation during this difficult time. 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 7 say to "throw all your anxiety on him [God] because he cares for you." Although it will take time to heal this thought continues to comfort me when anxieties and sadness overwhelm me. I hope you find comfort from this as well.
