Anna Nania

1936 - 2026

Anna Nania
Anna Marie Pennatto Nania, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully at her Cos Cob, CT, home on February 1, 2026. She fought a long and hard battle with dementia for many years.
Born in Port Chester, NY, on March 13, 1936, to James Pennatto, Jr., and Margaret Cofino Pennatto, Anna will always be remembered for her warmth, humor, kindness, and amazing work ethic. She loved her husband, Lorenzo, her children, her grandchildren, and her many friends.
Anna and Lorenzo met at the Polish Hall in Port Chester, NY, and were married in Corpus Christi Church in Port Chester. When their children were younger, they loved their family vacations to Wildwood, NJ. She was employed by the Greenwich, CT school system for 20 years.
Anna is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Lorenzo; her sons, Frank Nania (Annie) of Trumbull, CT and Rick Nania of Yorktown Heights, NY; her daughter, Marie Nania of South Salem, NY; and her brother, Anthony Pennatto of White Plains, NY. She cherished her time with her grandchildren, Nicholas Nania, Dominic Luciano, Amy Rodak, and Eric Nania. Though she never had a chance to meet her great-grandson, John Rodak, she would have spoiled him just as she spoiled her grandchildren. Also surviving is her best friend of almost 80 years, Theresa Donnelly (Aunt Theresa) of Ridgefield, CT.
Anna was predeceased by her parents; and her brothers, Patrick Pennatto and Junior Pennatto.
Anna will forever be a bright and guiding light to her family and loved ones.
Visitation will be from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday, February 5th, at Bosak Funeral Home & Cremation, 453 Shippan Avenue, Stamford, CT. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, February 6th, at 10am at St. Catherine of Siena Church, 4 Riverside Avenue, Greenwich, CT.
