She was a 1945 graduate of Glassport High School. She retired after 21 years with Tygart Industries in payroll and accounting and stood her ground as her feisty self when questioned. Marie loved her garden of roses and tomatoes and her dark chocolate. As a member of the “greatest generation” she was very patriotic and would fly her flag for every holiday. She was truly an amazing woman. Reunited in heaven, at last, are Marie Grantz and her beloved husband, Bob. They had shared 59 wonderful years of marriage. She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia L. Corey and son-in-law Daniel W. Corey. Her daughter was her best friend and became even closer after Bob’s passing. She is also survived by her loving niece, Joan (Jack) Jenkins; nephews, John “Jack” (Susan) Truby and Richard “Rick” Truby; great-nephews, John Truby, Joshua Truby and Jeffrey Jenkins. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Jane M. Drogoski; and brother, John F. Truby.
