Anna worked for Westinghouse Electric Company in Tinicum, PA for 20+ years before retiring in 1984. She was a member of Brookhaven Fire Company Women’s Auxiliary and past president of the Brookhaven Chapter of AARP.

Anna was an extraordinary single parent who devoted her life to raising her 5 children in a loving and caring environment. She enjoyed crafting, bingo and was an avid reader, often reading as many as 70 books per year. She also enjoyed spending time with and corresponding with her family and friends. She was “phanatical” about the Phillies.
