Mrs. Grace B. Pignataro passed away on Sunday, July 30, 2000 at Vaca Valley

Mrs. Pignataro was raised in San Francisco and attended Everett Junior High
School and Mission High School.  In 1947 she married her high school sweetheart,
Frank Pignataro in San Francisco.  In 1953 the couple moved to Belmont,
California where they resided until 1984 when they moved to Winters.  While
living in Belmont, she raised three children and was very involved in local
youth athletic programs, doing everything from running the concession stand to
fund-raising for local athletic events.  Her children recall growing up with
many friends around and described Mrs. Pignataro as a mother to all the
neighborhood children.  In 1989, Mrs. Pignataro moved to Vacaville when multiple
sclerosis became debilitating and she needed professional care.  She has resided
in Vacaville for the pat (sic) 11 years.

She is survived by her mother Beatrice Pacheco of San Jose; children, Frank
Pignataro and wife Sue of Hudson, Illinois, Dan Pignataro and wife Jackie of
