COLLEEN GRANERO Obituary
Colleen Gentry Granero
Born November 25, 1930, in San Francisco to Edith and Lloyd Gentry, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2012, with her family at her side.
A native of San Francisco, Colleen, also known as "Mimi," met and married Peter Granero in 1952, and they had six children. They raised their family in South San Francisco, moved to Redwood City, and then finally retired to Sonoma.
Colleen is survived by daughters Lorie Granero of Sonoma,
Christina Granero of Sonoma, Lisa Baldonado (Ben) of San Bruno, Maggie Granero (Brian Jarnutowski) of San Francisco, Colleen Ramirez (Brad) of
Sonoma, and son Peter B. Granero (Valerie). Her grandchildren include Ramon Baldonado, Nina Bratcher, Katie Collins, Bradley and Jazmine Ramirez, Duncan and Angelina Granero, Alex and Lana
Jarnutowski. Great grandchildren are Layla and Dylan Collins, and Norah Mimi-Lorraine Bratcher.
During the 70's, Colleen went to school and became a dental assistant for a few years. After that, she worked for the DOD-Western Division Naval Facilities, working her way through the ranks to become a family housing manager at Moffett Field, then Hamilton Naval Air Stations. She retired in the early 90's and spent the rest of her life in Sonoma enjoying her family.
Friends are invited to a visitation beginning at 5pm with a rosary at 7pm on Thursday, September 6th at Duggan's Serra Mortuary, 500 Westlake Ave. Daly City. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Friday, September 7th, 1030am at St. Robert Catholic Church, San Bruno Ca.

I can remember hanging out on Saturday nights as a teenager at the Granero house, watching Bob Wilkens Creature features and your Mom would make us Tea.
Rest in Peace

I had the privilege of knowing you for only a short time; it went far to fast. The love you have for your family will remain, for that I am grateful(I'll not forget my promise and remember to tell "your Ricky" often that you love him). I will always cherish the times we spent visiting, laughing and enjoying that really yummy toffee,(and my soap)! Much love goes with you my precious friend, you are so very missed...
