Anna worked as a dressmaker for Marynan Dress Company for more than 25 years. She retired from full time work to raise her family and then worked part time from her home. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting and gardening. Her passion was cooking and she excelled in the kitchen. Anna enjoyed spending summer days at the patio in Nahant with her family Jo, Charlie, Nunce, and Maryann. Her family remembers the passion she had for her Christmas Eve traditional Italian seafood festival at their open house and all the favorite dishes she prepared and served to everyone. But, her true devotion was her beloved grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Anna may be made to Children's Melanoma Prevention Foundation, POBOX 254, Hingham MA 02043.
