Anna (Russo) Shea, 89, a resident of Raymond, NH died on Saturday, November 23, 2024 at her daughter's home surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of the late Francis E. Shea Jr, who passed away in 1978 and the late James F. Hulme.
She was born in Boston, MA on June 20, 1935 and was the daughter of the late Carmen and Angelina (Alberto) Russo. Anna was raised and educated in Everett, MA. She later moved to Medford where she started her family. Anna was a homemaker, the true definition, she cared for her seven children, her husband, and all the children in her close-knit neighborhood. Anna was "the mom". She enjoyed baking, and cooking for the family, and she was known for her manicotti. When Anna had a little time for herself, she played cards, bingo and took trips to the casino. She will be dearly missed.
Anna is survived by her children Kathleen, Maureen, Doreen, Corinne, Laurine, and Frank E., her stepchildren James and Stephen, her grandchildren Carmen, Shayne, Stacy, Kevin, George Jr., Gregory, Cassandra, Michael, Deanna, Nicholas, Shayla, Brianna, Jackie, and Joseph, and her twenty-one great grandchildren.
She was sadly predeceased by her son Michael P., her stepchildren Carol and Gary, her son-in-law George, and her six siblings.
Family and friends are invited to attend a graveside service on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at 11am at Oak Grove Cemetery, 230 Playstead Rd., Medford, MA. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Anna's memory to St. Jude’s at www.stjude.org.
