Anna was a Tampa native and would share many stories about her days growing up in Ybor City. Anna graduated from Our Lady of Perpetual Help and enjoyed going to her class reunions. Anna loved to dance and attended dance classes. She always loved to sing and dance to crooners. She was an avid Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Florida Gators fan and attended many of their games. Anna served as a loyal employee for Lykes Bros. for 52 years where she established many long-term friends and relationships that she held near and dear to her heart.
Anna loved her family and family always came first. She was always willing to help and give her wisdom and advice. She attended every game, play, and recital of her children and grandchildren, cheering for them with a smile and words of encouragement.
Anna adored adventures and was a traveler at heart. She went to many places in the US and abroad, including Italy, Spain, France, Argentina and Mexico. She saw Arizona, New York City, New Orleans, and went on an Alaskan cruise. She loved to see the world and her travel stories will be greatly missed.
Our beloved Anna's absence will be felt by all who knew her. She always lit up a room with her smile and her wonderful nature. The family will receive friends on June 30, 2022 at 10am at St. Paul's Catholic Church followed by a Dove Release at 11am. There will be a lunch reception immediately following the service in the Church's Family Center. She is now singing praises to her Jesus and dancing in Heaven!
