Anne Margaret "Annie" Mancuso

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the sudden passing of my beloved daughter, Anne ("Annie") Margaret Mancuso, who left this world far too soon at the age of 11. Though her time with us was brief, it was filled with light, laughter, and love that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Annie had a remarkable gift for kindness and an extraordinary quick wit that could brighten even the darkest of days. Whether it was through her ability to make everyone feel seen and valued, impromptu compliments to strangers, or her clever remarks that brought laughter to those around her, she left an indelible mark on everyone she met. She was wise beyond her years, radiating a warmth, intelligence, and sense of humor that inspired those lucky enough to know her.
Her passions were as big as her heart. She loved all things makeup, skincare, and nails: spending countless hours creating videos and being brilliantly creative. Always the adventurer, she loved winter and summer sports, especially skiing, ice skating, and stand up paddle boarding. She recently discovered her passion for volleyball and – despite her mother's concern for broken windows – would practice with a rebounder in the living room. Annie was always up for a travel adventure and the trips she happily went on with her mother to places like New York City, the Dominican Republic, and Toronto are treasured memories. Forever the social butterfly, she especially loved her friends. Annie had a way of turning the simplest moments into cherished memories from countless late-night sleepovers, last minute shopping trips, and many, many after school Starbucks stops.
A treasured daughter, granddaughter, and friend, Annie brought joy to her family through her compassion, humor, and endless curiosity. Her love knew no bounds, and her caring heart will forever remind us of the importance of kindness in a world that often forgets it.
She is survived by her loving mother, Sarah Liccini; her grandfather, John Liccini; her uncle, Joseph (Hilory) Liccini; her cousins, Stella Liccini and Julian Liccini; and countless other family members, friends, and teachers who were touched by her beautiful soul. She is preceded in death by her beloved grandmother, Mary Liccini ("Nana"), who was a constant source of unconditional love in Annie's life.
Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we take comfort in the memories of her radiant smile, her tender hugs, and the extraordinary love she shared with us. Annie taught us to live in the present moment, to laugh often, to be kind without expectation, and to always be unapologetically ourselves.
A public celebration of Annie's life will be held on March 2, 2025, from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm at Nazareth University, Beston Hall in Glazer Music Performance Center, 4245 East Ave Rochester, NY 14618. In honor of Annie, we invite those who attend to wear any
color of the rainbow as a tribute to her vibrant spirit and her forever changing favorite color.
In lieu of flowers, her family kindly asks for donations to Verona Street Animal Shelter, Willow Domestic Violence Center of Rochester, or Brighton Central School District's Rainbow Club (FRES Rainbow Club C/O BCSD, 2035 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY 14618).
