Obituary for
Adrienne Mary Gratta (Lombardo)
Adrienne Gratta was born in White Plains, NY to Marion & Anthony Lombardo on August 27, 1932. She started her life early and began her career with AT&T as an operator and worked to become an Engineer Associate for the Eastern Region Network Services, AT&T Communications. Adrienne is the mother of two, survived by Joanne Daley and Nicholas Gratta, grandmother of three, survived by Karen Marconi, Jennifer Marino and Eva Gratta, and great-grandmother of four, survived by Christopher Anthony, Isabelle, Emma and Christopher.
Adrienne cared for her grandchildren well into their teenage years before she retired at age 55 and shortly thereafter moved to Florida, for sun and fun. During retirement she became a certified nursing assistant and spent overnights caring for ill seniors.
Adrienne moved back to NY to be with her family. She was a caregiver to her great-grandchildren and helped her granddaughters immensely to care for their children.
Adrienne was an independent, free spirited woman who went and did whatever her heart begged her. Adrienne was a leader who modeled fighting the good the fight until moments before her death. She will be missed. She will always be loved and hold a place in our hearts that lives in us for the rest of our lives.
