Until her retirement, Anna worked for many years as a cook at Casa del Sole in Woodcliff Lake, NJ with her sons and best friend, Gloria. Later she was a caregiver for her granddaughters for fourteen years. Anna's favorite pastime was caring for her family. She was a devoted wife, a cherished mother, and a doting grandmother. She enjoyed sharing her love of cooking and her holiday traditions with her family, who always walked away from her table having indulged in a delicious meal and with warm memories. She also enjoyed watching and cheering on her grandchildren in their sports, music, academic and scouting events. Her loving foundation and pure joy for family will be carried on by her loved ones.
