Anna Marie Capito Pecorelli

1929-2026

Warren -- Anna Marie Capito Pecorelli, 96, passed away January 9th, 2026.

Anna was born September 25, 1929, in Warren, OH, one of four daughters to Guy and Raefale "Rachel" Toto Capito.

Anna graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1947.

Anna was co-owner with her husband Joseph Guy of Pecorelli's Hoagie Shake for close to 19 years considered by many as a favorite Warren sub sandwich shop. She was a member of Blessed Sacrament Church.

Anna was a very strong independent resilient woman who generally insisted doing things her way first, always resisting help or asking for help, preferring instead to do things her way first before accepting help. She was the first and last to speak up and not afraid to offer an opinion, even when it was not wanted, but you got it anyway and not always at the best time. She was kind and shared what she had with others. There was always a place and plate at the dinner table for family and friends, including her children's friends even welcoming them into her home when they had no where else to go. She enjoyed traveling with her husband. She was an avid reader and enjoyed talking about old time Warren including the "Flats", the old "Jungle Inn" and other clubs she was not supposed to attend. She enjoyed cooking for the family and at holidays. She especially enjoyed having family and friends around the dinner table playing cards or dice after holiday dinners. She and family members often recalled our infamous Aunt Mary who had a reputation of bringing excitement to the dice games. She often volunteered at St. Vincent De Paul with her brother Greg and older sister Mary Josephine. She just enjoyed her family.

Anna is survived by her sons, Joseph (Judith) of Warren, David (Sally) of Leesburg, FL and daughter JoAnne M. Pecorelli of Warren. She leaves five grandchildren, Joseph Dominic Pecorelli (Laura) of Gainesville, GA, Matthew Gregory of Warren, David Joseph Pecorelli (Kristen) Brunswick, and Gregory (Alexi) of Newton Falls. She leaves seven great grandchildren, Cara and Joey (Brunswick), Dominic and Giulia (Sharpsville, PA), Sophia and Niko (Newton Falls), and the latest addition, Lorenzo (Gainesville, GA).

Anna was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Guy Pecorelli, whom she married on September 25, 1948 who passed away on March 19, 1994; her brothers Gregory D. and Guy "Pint" Capito; and sisters, Mary Josephine Nicopolis, Gloria Young, and Antonetta "Toni" Capito.

The family wants to thank Ohio Living Hospice and their wonderful staff Jenn and Heidi, Social Worker Keri and our mother's Aide JoAnn and the Jewish Community Center.

Last, we want to thank the "Village" of caring people and community organizations that helped us care for our family member. A reminder to all of us, especially today, that it does take a village of caring people coming together to care for others.
