of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Roman Catholic Church in Wallington NJ, also a
member of the Rosary Confraternity.
Anna lived an active life and enjoyed sewing, knitting, baking, cooking, gardening
and watching Yankee baseball games. "Nan" loved her family and was an inspiration
to everyone. Her favorite activity was preparing meals and spending time with her
children, four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
