Obituary of Emily Grasso

Schenectady- Emily “Millie” Grasso, 97, passed away on Friday, March 24, after a brief illness.

Emily was born in Mechanicville and graduated from Mechanicville High School. She took additional evening classes at Linton High School in Accounting.

She retired from Sunnyview Hospital after 30 years, primarily in the finance office. She enjoyed playing golf, going to Cape Cod and Maine and the many trips to Radio Music Hall in NYC. Most of all she loved the adult coloring books, that she got to spend coloring with her family.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Emily's happiest moments were times spent with family. She touched the lives of many with her kindness, thoughtfulness, and affection. Her passing will leave a tremendous void in the lives of all who knew her.

She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Marcia Grasso of Scotia and Angie Fusco of Mechanicville, and many nieces and nephews.

Family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the aides, nurses, housekeeping and recreation staff at Kingsway Arms Nursing Center for their kindness, caring attitudes and respect shown to our mother. Special thanks to Linda in housekeeping who treated mom like her grandmother.
