Emily Grosso (Reiter) - Class Of 1961 VIEW PROFILE

Emily Grosso (Reiter)

Emily Reiter, 77, passed away on Sunday September 6, 2020 at Miller's Merry Manor, Plymouth.
      
       Born in Mishawaka, Indiana on May 5, 1943 Emily was the daughter of Louis and Josephine (Zanetto) Grosso. She graduated from John Adams High School in South Bend with the class of 1961.
      
       On June 6, 1964 she married her best friend Clark and together they would have two amazing sons.
       Emily worked for St. Joseph Medical Center in the billing office before retiring. For most of her adult life she poured her heart into being a stay-at-home mother. She will always be remembered for being a wonderful wife, mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, as well as coaching girls' softball in Lakeville back in the 1970s. Of special note, in January of 1980, Emily's sister Janet donated a lifesaving kidney that miraculously worked flawlessly until the time of her passing. Thank you so much Aunt Janet!!
      
       Forever a child, whether it was playing video games till the wee hours of the morning, or canasta or other games with her friends, her sisters, or her numerous nieces and nephews, Emily truly cherished her time with family and friends. Emily was also known as a "piddler" and was late to nearly every event she was invited to, including her own wedding.
      
       Before her illness, she attended Grace Baptist Church in Plymouth, and enjoyed reading her Bible.

Emily was a wonderful person.  Quiet, kind, memorable.  River Park,  grade school at Nuner School and on to John Adams.

We were not close friends but Emily made a possitive impression on me.  My deepest sympathies to her husband, children, grand-children and family.  Another star in the heavens to look down on us..... But you will be missed....

I remember seeing Emily wandering the hallowed hallways of John Adams scurrying between classes.  We were not well acquainted, but classmates...always.  I pray God's richest blessings on her husband and family as you grieve her passing.  But you know where she is, and Who she is with.  In that there is much comfort.   Share many memories, cry...and laugh.  She would have wanted that.  Another Eagle has flown into the clouds.  Emily will be missed, I'm certain, but never forgotten.  G
