Our deepest condolences to the Benincasa Family. Anna was a great neighbour and friend. Will be greatly missed. May we be of some support to the Family and this very sad time.
So sorry to hear of Anne’s passing. She was a hard-working colleague at York University.
To the Benincasa Family:
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of a wonderful lady, dear friend and colleague. Anne and I worked in the same building at York for many years. I remember the first time I met her was during my lunchtime walk at the Track and Field Centre. She was walking ahead of me but looking back at me and although I didn’t know who she was and wondered what she wanted, I realized she was determined to become my friend and a good friend (and mentor) she became. It felt like we were inseparable as we spent many lunch hours and coffee breaks together. It was a sad day for me when she took early retirement. I missed seeing her almost every day but I knew she was enjoying her days away from York and that was reassuring. Anne’s passing has hit me as hard as losing my very own sisters. I will always treasure the beautiful (and sometimes crazy) times we spent together. She will be missed but never forgotten. Sharing in your sadness…
Dear Anne,
Every time you came into the salon you blessed everyone with your smile!
Over the sink, you blessed me with your wisdom…
Every time…you never missed a time…
You’ve blessed me with your kindness!
My deepest condolences to everyone,
Pina (Ruffles Hair Salon “over the sink” ) xxoo

There are no words to describe someone who brings you truth and joy in the same breath, love and freedom in one glance, supremely kind, who believes in you regardless, … this is Anne, used by God to bless others…
Love and prayers for Lino, Jordan, Mark and beloved ones
Lino, Mark ( Amanda), Jordan (Mary),
You were the centrepiece of her universe!
Anna was a very special friend for me we had a lot in common. We met at York University many years ago while we worked in the same building in Steacie. She was incredibly vibrant with an infectious feisty and giving personality! I was fortunate to have been able to continue our relationship after we retired. I have warm memories of us getting involved in crazy adventures and sometimes a bit of trouble. I will miss her greatly.

Will always be grateful for your generosity and kindness.
As a student working for you at York University, it was an honor and something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I have so many fond memories, because you created those moments for me. I will always remember you.

Anne was an institution at the Steacie Science Library. She was kind and generous and we all looked up to her. We remember her legendary cooking skills and the Christmas luncheon parties she organized. Her vibrant personality lighted up our work environment. I have fond memories of the twenty-five years that I worked alongside Anne at Steacie. She will live on in our hearts and minds. May her soul rest in peace.
