In 1966, surprised by Joe Mancuso’s knock on her door and marriage proposal, she followed her sense of adventure. They married and immigrated to Canada, where they built the home in which their family of six would share more than 50 years of memories.

It is with great sadness that we hear the news of the passing of Anna. Her death has left a void in all the hearts that knew her. We were all fortunate to have known such a strong, passionate and outgoing person. We remember her devotion to her family and how they showed their unity to each other. There were numerous happy occasions that were spent all together which brought her joy. She was a good friend to our family and will sadly be missed by all of us. We are keeping the family in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. Love always
