Mona Ann Grey Bucci

Mona Ann Grey Bucci (née Woodsome), 85, passed away peacefully at her

family home on September 10, 2026, surrounded by her family and in the

comfort of the home and cherished surroundings she loved.

 

Mona was born on December 15, 1940, in Washington, D.C., the daughter

of the late Onville Curtis Woodsome and Amelia Catherine Lacey

Woodsome.

 

Mona was the devoted wife of William F. Bucci and the loving mother of

James C. Bucci. She was a cherished grandmother of six: Sarika Nicole

Broussard Bucci, Christina Brook Bucci, Shelby Lynn Bucci, Sonya Renee

Bucci Magallanes, Sonju Eddna Bucci, and Sonhe Leslie Proctor. She was

also a beloved great-grandmother of seven: Alyssa Leigh Bucci, Madison

Noel Bucci-Miller, Isabella May Bucci-Miller, Noah Christopher

Bucci-Miller, Danae Bucci, Nashawn Proctor, and JJ Fullerton.

 

After graduating from Lackey High School, Mona pursued her passion for

caring for others and earned her Registered Nursing degree from

Washington Hospital Center. Her life later took a different and

equally meaningful path when she developed an interest in antiques.

 

What began as an interest grew into a successful business. Mona

obtained her sales tax license and established an antique shop in Old

Town Bowie, Maryland. She had a keen eye for unique and interesting

treasures and took great pleasure in both collecting and sharing them

with others. Over the years, she built a substantial collection of

antiques and collectibles, each reflecting her curiosity, appreciation

for history, and love of beautiful and unusual things. She continued

selling and collecting antiques until her retirement.

 

Outside of her work and collecting, Mona enjoyed antiquing, traveling

across the country to visit friends, and making trips to Maine to

spend time with family. She treasured the connections she made

throughout her life and the memories created with the people she

loved.

 

Mona’s final wishes were simple and deeply personal: she wanted to

remain at home with her family, surrounded by the cherished belongings

and familiar surroundings that brought her comfort and joy. Her wishes

were fulfilled, and she passed away peacefully and comfortably at

home, with her family close by.

 

Mona will be remembered for her independent spirit, her curiosity and

appreciation for antiques, her love of travel and family, and most of

all, the lasting love she gave to those who were fortunate enough to

know her. Her memory will live on through her children, grandchildren,

great-grandchildren, family, friends, and the many treasures and

stories she leaves behind.
