"The words "your grand father has past away" were anathema to the little girl."

Absolutely awful example, because "past" is not a verb, it's a noun, as in "the distant past". "Passed away" is the correct word to use when referring to death in the form of a verb.

Example of proper usage: "The question from the moderator required actual thought, a word anathema to most talking heads on Fox News that were reviewing the presidential debate, as they weren't able to put their normal spin on the candidates' responses."
