Anna Marie Stark

In Loving Memory of Anna Marie Stark (DiPronio)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend, Anna Marie Stark (DiPronio), who departed this life on April 21, 2025, at the age of 70. Held in love and with her husband by her side, she passed peacefully, just as she lived-with grace.
Anna Marie was born on May 13, 1954, in Hazleton, PA, and throughout her life, she was a beacon of strength, compassion, and unwavering love. She married her best friend and partner in life, Benjamin Stark, with whom she shared 48 years of love, laughter, and adventure. Together, they built a home filled with warmth and enduring love.
A devoted mother to Anthony and Lisa, Anna Marie lovingly raised her children while her husband served in the Navy. Often holding down the home front on her own, she embraced motherhood with resilience, grace, and fierce love-instilling in her children the values of kindness, courage, and integrity. But beyond being a wonderful mom, she was an extraordinary Nonna-her greatest joy was found in the laughter, stories, and hugs shared with her grandchildren, who adored her beyond measure.
She touched countless lives with her generosity and light. Whether through her work as a Registered Nurse, her friendships, or quiet acts of kindness, she left every space better than she found it. Her smile and laughter was infectious, and her love for those around her was the thread that held everything together.
Anna Marie is survived by her loving husband, Benjamin; her children, Anthony and his wife Amanda, and Lisa and her husband Chris; and her cherished grandchildren, Aaron, Alec, Dylan, Mya, and Tenley. She is also survived by her extended family and many dear friends.
A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, April 25th at [Location], with a viewing beginning at 11:00 AM and the funeral service following at 1:30 PM. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend and share in remembering the incredible woman she was.
Her love will echo in our hearts forever. She was our center, our cheerleader, and our home. Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit remains deeply woven into the fabric of our lives-and now, she watches over us with the rest of the angels, her light shining ever bright from above.
Rest in peace, Anna Marie. You are dearly loved, endlessly missed, and forever cherished.
