Celebrating the life of
Barbara Brandt GrangerOctober 26, 1930 - September 30, 2019

Barbara Brandt Granger, 88, died September 30, 2019. Mrs. Granger was born in Evanston, Illinois, on October 26, 1930 to Matthew Vincent Brandt and Ethel James Brandt. In 1935 the family relocated to Atlanta where Bobbe grew up in Brookwood Hills, attended Christ the King School, and graduated from Washington Seminary in 1949.

Mrs. Granger then attended The University of Georgia for two years where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. During this time, she met her future husband, Harvey Granger, Jr. of Savannah who was a student at Georgia Tech. They were married at Christ the King Church in 1951. Thereafter, they moved to Savannah. During their 58 years of marriage, they treasured family and many friends. Many may recall the annual Super Bowl party that Bobbe and Harvey hosted in their home for almost 50 years. They also enjoyed extensive travel with family and friends before Mr. Granger died in 2009.

Deepest condolences to the family. She will be missed.

Dear Harvey and Ruth: I am saddened to hear this has happened. We spent many hours at your house during summers engaging in epic ping pong battles out back in the garage, and when we were done your mother always had a kind word and a cool drink ready for us. My mother knew that when I was at your house I was in good hands. She was a kind, wonderful person and always wore a smile. I will always remember her fondly. Bill Oliver

Dear Harvey and Ruth, I want to extend my condolences to you and your family about your Mother. She was always kind to me when we rode together for car pools to SCDS. I recall her warning you about maintaining your grades at a high level to enable you for college/graduate school. Both your Mother and Father were highly respected by my parents, Brooke and Virginia, who are now deceased. We appreciate the friendship and the support your family has given to our family over my life time and before. Sincerely, Pearce
