    Susie - My earliest memories of Mrs Granatir was in the mid to late 1950's and 60's when we would go to your house. I had the honor of eating the delicious baked goods she would have for us whenever we were there. Fast forward to the late 90's , early 2000's I remember your mom walking at the mall when my parents would go after Church and walk. Ms June would walk a little, sit down on the bench and talk a little as people walked by. She did love making friends! My sincere sympathies to you and all of your family, Sue. What a blessing to have her to love for 100 years! May she rest in eternal peace! Much love, Toni Gaumer Glanton

    Such a beautiful tribute to an amazing woman. I first met Mrs. Granatir 20 years ago when I moved on to Grandview. She introduced herself and delivered the most delicious homemade apple pie. It was the beginning of a special friendship. My family was so fortunate to have such an amazing neighbor. She was quick to share a joke or give advice on everything from parenting to gardening or how to effectively remove a hornets nest. She loved my family and we loved her. Thanks for the memories!! You will be missed dearly.
