Born on October 18, 1953, in Brooklyn, NY, to Phyllis and Anthony Esposito, Anna grew up surrounded by a loving family and developed a strong sense of commitment to education, which she fulfilled through her career at the Half Hollow Hills School District.
As a devoted wife, Anna shared her life with Michael Caparco Jr. Together, they built a warm and loving home where they raised their two children, Phyllis Ann O’Leary (Peter) and Michael Caparco III (Lindsay). Anna took immense pride in her role as a mother and later as a grandmother to her cherished grandchildren: Heather O’Leary, Hadley, Harper, and Holden Caparco. Her family's love was her greatest joy, and she was deeply involved in their lives, making lasting memories that they will hold dear forever. She was also a loving sister to Vincent Esposito and Rose DiBernardo (Jeffrey) and was preceded in death by her sibling, Frances Esposito. As an aunt, Anna found joy in the lives of her nieces and nephews, including Albert DiBernardo (Lauren), Victoria Shaikh (Hammad), and Andrea Hoffmann (Andrew). In addition, she was a proud great aunt to Jeffrey, Sofia, Anthony, Noah, Zayn, and Dominic. Anna also held a special bond as a niece to Rose Emmanuel.
