Lillian Larsen School has lost a beloved teacher:

The San Miguel community is deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. Ann Granados, beloved teacher and friend to the students and staff of Lillian Larsen Elementary School. Mrs. Granados has taught at Lillian Larsen since 1990 and contributed greatly in many ways. Ann spent more than two decades of her life dedicated to the students of Lillian Larsen School She began teaching third grade, but spanned several grades and disciplines, ending her career teaching 5^th - 6^th grade. Ann was very active in the after-school music program, Masters at Their Trade, as the music teacher. Ann taught keyboard and choir for the San Miguel Resource Connection’s MATT program for about 10 years. Ann was passionate about her students, pets, gardens and her cattle ranch in San Miguel.

Many in the community have been deeply affected by this sudden loss. The school is grateful to the Hospice volunteers who helped

. The family has graciously established a memorial scholarship for Lillian Larsen graduates in lieu of flowers. Donations can be made to the “Ann Granados Memorial Scholarship Fund” at any Wells Fargo Bank branch, account number 6254470591.

This scholarship is available to students who have attended Lillian Larsen school during their seventh and eighth grade years, graduated from Lillian Larsen and went on to graduate from Paso Robles High School. Ann Granados, age 62, passed away on February 21, 2013 at French Hospital in San Luis Obispo. She was born in Michigan on January 8, 1951 but moved to Ventura, California by the age of one. Ann attended Ventura High and later received her teaching degree and Master's from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Ann is survived by her husband, Julian Granados, her son Nathaniel Alary, her daughter Andrea Alary, four grandchildren, three step-children, six step-grandchildren, friends and c

ommunity. A community memorial service was held March 9th.
