Born in Bernalda, Italy 1922, Anne grew up in the Township of Millburn, NJ. She worked as a volunteer during WWII with the American Red Cross, and went on to volunteer with them for 27 years. She also served as an air-raid warden during the war.

She leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, and good friends. She will be missed deeply by all that her life touched.
“How simple life was long ago,
our family life, I loved it so.
Our world was small, our wants were few, with good friends old and new.”
