Consuelo Jones Grisetti
"Connie" (Age 92)
Connie Grisetti went peacefully to the Lord on Friday, February 24, 2017, at her home. She was born on July 18, 1924, in San Francisco, CA to the late Remedios Acero Ponce de Leon Jones and Enoch Roscoe Lukens Jones, Sr. Connie has eight older brothers and sisters, who all predeceased her. She graduated from San Francisco's Lowell High School in 1942. In 1946, Connie graduated from University of California at Berkeley, where she met her husband of 70 years, Robert S. Grisetti, a World War II Army Air Corps (Air Force) veteran. She devotedly endured the sacrifices of a 'manned-space program' wife while her husband pursued his part toward getting our early astronauts safely to space and back. She later happily supported him on adventures in telecommunications, both in the U.S. and overseas, including extended stays in Egypt and the Philippines. They lived together with their children in Upstate New York, Ormond Beach, FL, Franklin Lakes, NJ, Great Falls, VA, Pittsford, NY, Wellesley Hills, MA, and finally Oakton, VA since 2001. Connie enjoyed skiing, was an avid golfer and was an accomplished musician, among other pursuits.
Connie is survived by her husband, Robert Stephen Grisetti, devoted children, Stephen (Joann) Grisetti, Robin (Tom) Hilliard and Paul Grisetti; cherished grandchildren Amber, Robert, James, Timothy and Mark. She is also survived by many loving extended family members and friends. A funeral service will be held at St. Andrew & St. Margaret of Scotland Church, 402 E. Monroe Ave., Alexandria, VA 22301 on Saturday, March 11 at 11 AM. Interment will be held at Quantico National Cemetery on Monday, March 13 at 1 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Andrew & St. Margaret of Scotland Church.

Dear Robin- It is with heavy heart that I extend my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Your mom was a special person. I can still see her playing the piano as we sang along. They was probably 50 years ago. Robin: You were a wonderful daughter. Your mother was so fortunate to have you. I pray that you and your family find peace through this heartbreaking time and that you receive the loving messages from heaven that I have received. Love, Linda

Blessings to Connie’s sweet husband and family. I will miss her smile. She meant a lot to and did a lot for St. Andrews & St. Margaret of Scotland Church. Ellen
Lovely woman and strong woman of faith. So honored to have served with her at church and sing next to her in choir. She blessed so many of us. Thank you, Lord, for this your child.
Our prayers are with you
Our thought and prays are with you and your family.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory
Oh dear oh dear- we are very sad for your loss. Connie was a great woman. She’s singing Holy Holy Holy now with the Angels. Our love and prayers to you all. Group hug.
Robin – our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
To the Grisetti Family, The Martins have you in our thoughts. We understand what a special family you are. We learned this when we had the blessing of being neighbors in Great Falls. Thank goodness, Robin keeps us updated. Alabama is not that far, but we rarely travel out of Montgomery even though our goal was to visit Virginia often when we moved years ago. Please understand that y’all stay in our prayers. Mary Anne and Ed Martin
Into the paradise of God may the angels lead her; And at her coming may the martyrs receive her, And take her into the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels welcome her; And with Lazarus, once a beggar, May God grant her rest eternal.
