Mary D. Grisaffi

Mary Darrow Grisaffi sadly passed away on July 18th, 2023 at Northeast Baptist Hospital at the age of 82. Mary Jo as she was known to many was born July 27, 1941, in St. Louis, MO. She graduated from ASU with a BA in Education and then worked for the LA Unified School District for 40 years. She took pride in teaching and continued her education by becoming a bilingual teacher, so she could show the children she taught that there is a world of possibilities.

She was a beautiful person who always smiled at all times and spread joy and happiness wherever she went. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She had many friends in Santa Clarita Vally, CA where she resided for 56 years before moving to Cibolo, Texas in 2021. She had many friends and was a well-loved member of the community in Santa Clarita and Cibolo.

Mary Jo was preceded in death by her father Arthur Charles Darrow II & her mother Mary Sweet Darrow. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara Nunez & son-in-law Daniel Nunez, and their six children: Jon Ross Nunez, Jennifer Nunez, Jeremy Nunez, Samanthan Luba, Jacquelyn Nunez, and Jared Nunez along with twelve grandchildren, as well as her brother Arthur Charles Darrow III and his three children.

At this time there will not be a funeral or memorial services. I invite you to make a donation to any of the following charities in her honor, instead of sending flowers:

• SAMS Ministries

• Planned Parenthood

• Meals on Wheels

• Wounded Warrior Project
