Anna was known for her large heart, kind manner and wonderful cooking. She was famous for her fruit pies, homemade pastas and especially her pizza. She loved visits from her many nieces, nephews, grand and great grandchildren and was always happy to set another place at the table for unexpected guests. She loved to dance and was a member of the West Roxbury Social club. She and her husband danced weekly and would often track their favorite band down so they could enjoy the music and the dancing. She was a lifelong resident of Baker Street. She has left her mark on all the hearts of those she knew and will be forever missed.
