Anna B. Francisco

Anna "Bess" Francisco, a loving and kind woman known for her friendly demeanor, passed away peacefully on October 12, 2023. Born on May 10, 1934, in Newark, NJ, Bess lived a fulfilling life filled with music, love, and family.
Bess was a devoted wife to her husband, Nick, and a loving mother to her five children, Robert, Teddy, John, David, and Nancy Firestine. Her family extended to include stepchildren, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom she cherished deeply. In addition to her husband and children, Bess is survived by her sister, Ellen Daly.
Bess was a woman who loved life and lived it to the fullest. Her love for music, particularly the sounds of Elvis Presley and Vince Gill, was infectious. Her love for music was only exceeded by the love she had for her family, with whom she spent many hours creating memories that they will cherish forever. Her friendly demeanor and kind heart also made her a beloved figure in her neighborhood.
As we mourn the loss of Anna "Bess" Francisco, we also celebrate the life of a wonderful woman. Bess lived a rich and fulfilled life, and her memory will live on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the love that continues to bind us all together.
Visitation will be held Thursday, October 19, 2023, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm at Waitt Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Morganville, NJ.
