A fifth-generation Washingtonian, she was a graduate of both the Madeira School 
in Greenway, Va., and Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Conn. She attended 
George Washington University.

Washington. Founding rector of All Souls' was the Rev. J. MacBride Sterrett,

There she met her future husband, a Norfolk native, who was also employed by the 
OSS. In 1945, a few years after their marriage, the Grandys moved to Norfolk.
Mrs. Grandy served on the boards of the auxiliary of Medical Center Hospitals, 
Citizens Against the Refinery's Effects, the Norfolk Forum, the Tuberculosis 
Association and the Hermitage Foundation. She was a multigallon donor to the 
American Red Cross, Tidewater Regional Blood Services program.

She also was a member of the Colonial Dames, the Sulgrave Club in Washington, 
the Garden Club of Norfolk, the Westover Garden Club, Princess Anne Country Club

She is survived by a daughter, Carter Grandy Scott of Norfolk; two sons, Cyrus 
Wiley Grandy V of Norfolk and Hatch Dent Sterrett Grandy of Richmond; two 
brothers, Judge Samuel Black Sterrett of Chevy Chase, Md., and Dr. Henry Hatch 
Dent Sterrett of McLean; and five grandchildren.
A memorial service for Mrs. Grandy will be conducted at 2 p.m. today in Christ &
