Obituary

MARY ANNE COTRONEO GRANDINETT, after illuminating this world for ninety-one years, passed away on Friday, March 28, 2008 at the Washington County Hospital. Born in Johnstown Pennsylvania, on February 7, 1917, she was the daughter of the late Pasquale and Angelina (Bifano) Cotroneo. She attended Johnstown High School, and graduated from Lebanon Valley Conservatory of Music (College) in Annville, Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's Degree in music education. Mary Anne was the first violinist with the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, and taught for over thirty-five years in Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia elementary schools. Music was an important part of Mary Anne's life, but nothing mattered more to her than family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, and will be deeply missed by all. She made everyone she met feel special and appreciated the special gifts that each had to offer. Mary Anne is survived by her beloved husband of sixty-five years, Harry F. Grandinett; and sons David H. Grandinett and wife Kay of Merritt Island, Florida, and Harry L. Grandinett and wife Mary Ann of Fairplay, Maryland with whom she joyfully resided the last three and a half years of her life. She is survived by sisters, Celestina Komar and husband John, and Gloria Cotroneo, all of Glenshaw, Pennsylvania; and grandchildren, Scott Grandinett, Kelli Grandinett, Kari Counselman, Sabrina Grandinett, and Caitlin MacRae and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by one brother Anthony (Nino) Cotroneo, and sisters, JoAn Hufford and Clelia Hanzel. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:00am Monday at St. Marys Catholic Church, 224 W. Washington St., Hagerstown with Rev. Kevin Mueller the celebrant. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. The family will receive friends Sunday, 6:00-8:00pm at Minnich Funeral Home, 415 E. Wilson Blvd. A prayer service will be held at 7:30pm Sunday.
