Notes:

Annabelle (Baio) Grana, 89, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, June 18, 2020, after a 17-year courageous battle on Dialysis. Born in Niagara Falls, she was the daughter of the late Sam and Catherine (Cervola) Baio.
Annabelle graduated from Niagara Falls High School and began working at her parent’s business, Baio Appliance on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls.
She met her beloved husband, Julian “Julie” Grana while attending South Junior High School and they later were married on March 31, 1951 at Our Lady of Lebanon Church. Annabelle worked side by side with her husband at their business, T. Grana and Son Produce for many years.
Annabelle was a devout Catholic and longtime parishioner of the former Our Lady of Lebanon Church.  She was active in many facets of the parish including the bible study group, Bishop’s committee, the St. Vincent de Paul organization, cooking for the priests and teaching religious education for eight years. Her and her husband were also one of the first couples to receive the ‘Saint Joseph the Worker Award,’ for the religious devotion and dedication to the community.
Annabelle was a talented arts and crafts artist who especially enjoyed making ceramics, soaps and chocolates. She also enjoyed baking pies and will be remembered greatly for her black raspberry pies.
Annabelle loved going to the casino with her husband and sister, but above all she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband of 69 years, Annabelle is survived by her children, Julie Ann (John Soltys) Grana, Karen Grana and Ted (Lorrie) Grana; her grandchildren, Tom (Suzanne Senzig) Bosso, Jr., Cori Lynn Bosso, David (Kristen) Cassert, Christine (Al) Franjoine, TC (Beth) Cassert, Justin (Jess) Grana, Lauren Grana and Adam Grana; her great-grandchildren, Alyssa and Tom Bosso, III, Julianna, Sienna and Evan Franjoine, and Cooper Cassert and Julian Cassert, and was happily awaiting one great granddaughter on the way. She is also survived by her sister, Josephine (late Augie) Moceri, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by two siblings, Joseph (late Rose) Baio and Angie (late Joseph) Simone.
