Notes:

Frances D. Grana, age 98, passed away August 8, 2019 at O.L.P Nursing Care Residence. Born on June 18, 1921 in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Theodore and Mamie (Archie) Grana.
Frances attended local schools and graduated from Niagara Falls High School in 1939. One of her first jobs was working with her father’s produce business, T. Grana & Son, which celebrated 100 years of business this year. She also worked as a receptionist at Dr. Grana’s and Dr. Whiteman’s office for over 50 years.
Frances’ greatest pleasure was spending time with her “Grana” family. She never forgot a birthday and the opportunity to sing to everyone on their special day. As her family grew, she meticulously kept a calendar up to date with all important events and celebrations with her family.
Frances is survived by her brothers, Dr. Anthony (Egla) Grana, D.D.S. and Julian (Annabelle) Grana, and was predeceased by her sister Concetta Radomski. She was the cherished aunt of Connie Blackburn, Lenore (Michael) Moore, Julie Ann, Karen, and Ted (Lorrie) Grana, Tina (Robin) Shoemaker, Diana (Jack) Christiana, Tom (Laura) and Jim Grana. Frances was an aunt to nine, great aunt to seventeen and great-great aunt to nineteen and “Aunt Frances” to hundreds of others who knew her. We have never known anyone prouder of her family and of her hometown Niagara Falls. We have been blessed beyond measure.
Frances’ Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Thursday September 19, 2019 at 10AM at St. Raphael’s Church, 3840 Macklem Ave. Niagara Falls, NY. Interment was held privately for the family at St. Joseph Cemetery. Frances’s family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to “her favorites” of the 3 West Staff of O.L.P Nursing Care Residence for the excellent care given to her over the past 5 years.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Frances’ memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.  Arrangements by M.J.
