Aguanno, Grace Dahle
MADISON- Grace Dahle Aguanno, age 95, of Madison, passed away on Sunday, June 27, 2010. She was born on Sept. 24, 1914, the daughter of Claude and Gertrude (Dahle) Atkins. In 1936 she graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa, where she received a degree in Latin. She met Joseph Aguanno while he was stationed at Truax Field and the two were married on July 1, 1946. Together they started their married lives in New York, later returning to Madison in 1964. Grace taught at DeForest High School for more than 20 years. She loved to spend time reading and traveled extensively overseas and across the United States. She was very focused on her family, and her zest for life created many wonderful memories especially for her son and nieces and nephews. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Joe Aguanno of Sun Prairie; son, Joseph "Jody" Aguanno of Chicago, Ill.; and further survived by many nieces and nephews. It was mother\'s wish that no formal memorial services be held.

My mother, Dorothy Converse, taught with Mrs. Aguanno in DeForest in the late 1960's. She remarked many times about what a lady Grace was in her behavior and gentleness. Grace was "gracious" - her name was exactly what she was.
My mother was also born in 1914, but died of cancer in 1972. Mrs. Aguanno came to her visitation and introduced herself to me. I've always remembered and appreciated her doing so.
While teachers touch many lives, she was an easy person to love. Regards, Bonnie Clayton

It was truly an honor and a pleasure to care for Grace while she was a resident at an assisted living where I worked. Her kind and quiet spirit was nothing short of remarkable. She was always so appreciative and encouraging! I count it a blessing to have been able to meet this wonderful woman and, from time to time, to offer her reasons to smile. She will always be remembered fondly, as she made a difference in my life!
