It is with deep sorrow that the community of 

St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church

announces the passing of

RENEE ELIZABETH GRANGER

Age 70, passed away on December 13, 2024

On this sad occasion, the Pastor, Board of Trustees, and all the auxiliary bodies of St. Sarkis Church, extend their heartfelt sympathy to Renee’s family members.


Renee was a graduate of Rochester Adams High School and attended Ferris State University/Oakland Community College.

She was employed and retired from American Airlines in Dallas, Chicago and Detroit. She also was a retiree from the state of Michigan Department of Social Services.

Renee was a wonderful, loving, selfless wife, mother and grandmother. She was very proud of her Armenian heritage and culture. She passed down recipes and wisdom provided from past generations. She enjoyed travel (Europe, China and throughout the US), and the cottage that her and Scott owned for 41 years in Boyne City, Michigan on Lake Charlevoix. During her time up north, she was an avid boater and loved all water sports. She also loved cruising the Carribean and Mediterranean. Renee was an excellent cook and loved to host friends and family for holidays and other events. She was generous and kind to everyone (family and friends).
