Anna M. (Tollis) DiLorenzo, 81, of Northbridge, formerly of Milford, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 28, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. She was the devoted wife of the late Concezio R. DiLorenzo, who passed in 2023.Born in Cansano, Italy, Anna was the daughter of the late Rocco and Nicolena (Guadagnoli) Tollis.

In 1968, she bravely made the journey to the United States in pursuit of a better life, bringing with her a deep love of family, tradition, and faith. A proud and loving mother and grandmother, Anna's greatest joy was being surrounded by her family. Her kitchen was the heart of her home-filled with the aromas of her delicious cooking and the warmth of laughter and conversation. She had a passion for solving puzzles, attending church, and cherishing the simple moments with those she loved.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and strength in her children: Antonio DiLorenzo and his wife Tiffany of Northbridge; Pasqua Reed and her husband Thomas of Whitinsville; Dona Salus and her husband Jay of Northbridge; Tina Bates and her husband Jason of Northbridge; and Daniela Anderson and her husband Adam of Hopedale. She is also survived by her beloved brother Lino Tollis and sister Rina Veramessa, both of Italy; ten cherished grandchildren; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Anna's life during calling hours on Sunday, July 6th, 2025, from 2 to 5 P.M. at the Consigli-Ruggerio Funeral Home, 46 Water Street, Milford. Her funeral will be held on Monday, July 7th 2025, beginning at 9 A.M. from the funeral home, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 A.M. at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, 5 East Main Street, Milford. Anna will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband at Sacred Heart Cemetery on Medway Road in Milford.
