EVELYN DIGIORGIO GRANT

Evelyn DiGiorgio Grant, daughter of Rosario and Carmelina DiGiorgio, passed away on Sunday, August 13, 2006, in Pasadena, California of natural causes at the age of 90 years. A former resident of Los Altos, she was a member of the DiGiorgio Fruit Corporation family, which was originally from Sicily and was prominent in California, Washington, Maryland and Florida. Mrs. Grant was an avid golfer and bridge player and loved to travel. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Wilbur J. “Bill” Grant, her two married sons, Philip and Steven, and their wives, Susan and Sharon, her five grandchildren and her six great-grandchildren. She had a wonderful and eventful life, and her family misses her very much. As she requested, she was cremated and her ashes spread at sea. The family hopes that her friends will keep her in their thoughts and prayers.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
