Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial at St. John the Apostle R.C. Church, Linden, N.J., at 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 12. Interment will follow at St. Gertrude Cemetery, Colonia, N.J.
Anna was a longtime member of the Rosary Society of St. John the Apostle Church, the Linden Men's and Women's Seniors Club and the Winfield Senior Citizens, with which she and Tony enjoyed many bus trips.
We will all miss her unwavering love and devotion, as well as the kindness she spread wherever she went. We will also miss her chocolate chip cookies and lemon meringue pies.
