Elpidia Granado

It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of my beloved sister, Elpidia (Pily) Granado, who left us on April 19, 2026, at the age of 79.

Pily is survived by her sister, Margarita Granado Esparza and her nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brother Ricardo Granado and her parents, Jesus and Aurora Granado.

Pily was a retired educator who believed all children deserved a good education. She especially worked as an ESOL teacher helping students learn the English language to further their education.

Pily fought a hard life having multiple cancer illnesses. She was a fighter in life and very religious. It was her faith that kept her going. It is her faith that brought her peace.
