Anna Marie (Bacher) Torok, 90, of Allentown, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family, following a 12-year journey with Alzheimer's. She was the devoted wife of the late John M. Torok, Jr., with whom she shared 57 wonderful years of marriage until his passing in 2013.

Born in Allentown on June 30, 1935, Anna Marie was the daughter of the late Joseph and Theresa (Marx) Bacher. A graduate of Allen High School, she was a lifelong member of St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church in Allentown.

Together with her husband, Anna Marie dedicated much of her time to supporting the Catholic War Veterans. She had a gift for making friends wherever she went and was always generous with her time, offering kindness and help to anyone in need.

Anna Marie found joy in cooking, gardening, crafting, and painting, but her deepest love and greatest priority was always her family.
