She directed the university's Institute of Humanistic Studies from 1977 to 1980.
She and her second husband, James Corbett (a professor of physics at SUNY), prospered through long-term investment in the stock market, and she was able to contribute $1 million to SUNY in his memory after his death in 1994.
Grenander died in East Berne, New York, at 79 years of age.
