Devine, Anna M. SARATOGA SPRINGS Anna Madeline Devine, 99, peacefully entered into eternal life on Saturday, January 9, 2021, at the Wesley Community. Born in Green Island, she was the daughter of the late Gardner and Sara Leonard Ruggles. She was a graduate of Heatly High School and the beloved wife of the late John Joseph Devine Sr. who passed away in 2002. Anna was a resident of Round Lake for over 50 years. Mrs. Devine had been employed at Cohoes Manufacturing in Cohoes and had previously been employed at the Watervliet Arsenal in the payroll department during World War II. Anna especially loved the time spent with her family. This love only grew during the Christmas season, as she enjoyed holiday traditions with her loved ones. This love extended to many children that she cared for during her time in Round Lake. Anna was a founding member and communicant of Corpus Christi Church in Ushers and a member of the Women's Club. Anna was also a member of the WRLIS (Women's Round Lake Improvement Society), the Round Lake Bowling League and a loyal Saratoga County Board of Elections poll watcher. She was the devoted mother of John J. Devine Jr. (JoAnne Lanne and the late Patricia Devine), and the late Colleen Abeel; cherished "Nana" of Tammy (Ann) Devine, Beth (Mike) Minervini, Erin (Bill) Grogan, Meghan (John) Kephart, John (Melissa) Devine, Kate (Matt) Wilson; adored great-grandmother "Nana" of Samuel, Michael, Brandon, Matthew, Justin, Abigail, Allison, Isaiah, Maxwell, Madison, Elijah, Natalie, John, Glory and Isabelle; also survived by two nieces and several nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers, John, Lawrence and William Arthur Ruggles. Anna's family would like to thank the staff at the Wesley Community, especially Beth Mannarino and everyone on 2-Springs as well as to Anna's team at Community Hospice of Saratoga for their loving care and compassion provided to her.
