Elsie A. Andrini, 107, died Feb. 15, 2022, of complications after falling in her home. She grew up in mining communities where her father worked in the mines. They moved to Dallas Coal Camp and eventually settled in the Granger area. As a teenager, her family moved to their first home on the Granger Homestead. This was a project developed by the late Monsignor Luigi L. Ligutti. He petitioned the government’s Subsistence Division Program and, with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, secured the loan to start the Granger Homestead which gave poor families the ability to own a home and feed their families by working the land and raising animals. Elsie was possibly the last living original resident of the Granger Homestead.
Elsie married Richard Andrini in 1948. They first lived in Madrid and later bought a home in Granger where she lived until she fell and was hospitalized. He preceded her in death.
A private burial will be held at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Dunn’s Chapel.
