Anna, affectionately known as "Gram", will always be remembered for her ability to please her family. She was extremely proud of her Italian heritage. All anyone had to do was mention a favorite Italian dish and it was immediately prepared. Some of the cherished memories her family will always have are: pans and pans of sauce, a constant supply of licorice in her "candy drawer", dozens of cookies to be fought over, her amazing salad dressing, and the way she created a loving atmosphere in her home. She will always be remembered with loving thoughts. Anna was a member of St. John the Baptist Church.
