Annie Atkinson Obituary
Florence, MA - Annie (Aizesky) Atkinson, 93, of Florence, passed away peacefully at home on October 3, 2025.
Annie was born in Erving, to the late Joseph Aizesky and Frances Gressen. Annie married Tom Atkinson for 22 years before his passing. Annie lived in Amherst and Florence residences through Behavioral Health Network for over 15 years.

Annie loved her Polish music, crafting with colorful beads, reading books and going to Friendly's each year for her birthday. Annie was a caring person with a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor. Annie would often tell jokes or make funny statements, as she loved to make people laugh.
