Anne liked nothing better than to spend time with her family. She loved to make biscotti and pizzelles and give them to friends and family. Anne was a life long member of St. Anthony of Padua Parrish and for many years she volunteered at Friday night fish dinners, at funeral luncheons, and making and selling pepper cookies for the Feast Days. She enjoyed playing golf with her girlfriends, having picked it up late in life, and following the New York Yankees, particularly with Frank while he was still alive. Her grandchildren brought her endless joy and she enthusiastically celebrated their every accomplishment. Anne worked at IBM in the Suggestion Department for many years and was a member of the Quarter Century Club. A Funeral Mass will be held Monday at 12:00 noon at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 306 Odell Ave., Endicott, NY. Entombment will be in Calvary Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
