René Graniere

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Rene Graniere of Atlantic City, NJ.

Born to Richard Charles and Janet Graniere, Rene grew up in Wayne, NJ, where she built lifelong friendships and cherished memories. She graduated from DePaul Catholic High School in 1984 and later earned her bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Business Management from Stockton University in Galloway, NJ.

In her mid-twenties, Rene began her career at American Express in Manhattan. Through her dedication and strong work ethic, she rose through the ranks, earning leadership positions and earning great success.

Rene was a force of nature—a take-charge woman with a bold personality and an even bigger heart. Her greatest joy in life was her family, especially her beloved niece and nephews. She adored every moment spent with them and was deeply devoted to her parents, brother, and sister-in-law. Rene’s love extended beyond her immediate family to her aunts, uncles, and cousins, with whom she shared a special bond.

She found peace on the beaches of South Jersey and loved walking along the boardwalk. A skilled Blackjack player, Rene inherited her passion for the game from her uncle and often found herself on the winning side of Atlantic City. She also had a deep appreciation for music, especially The Grateful Dead and Queen.

Rene’s presence and unwavering love will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her mother, Janet Graniere of Lakewood, NJ; her brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Ann Marie Graniere of Wayne; her niece, Brooke Graniere of Easton, Pennsylvania; her nephews, Richard, Anthony, and Jake Graniere of Wayne; and many loving extended family members. She is now reunited in peace with her father, Richard Charles Graniere.

May Rene’s memory live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
