It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Fanelli, who left this world on October 23, 2025. Born on February 12, 1940, Anna was a radiant soul whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Anna was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Giuseppe, whose memory continued to bring her comfort every day of her life. Her legacy is carried on by her devoted daughter, Lidia, and her son-in-law, Maurizio, who have forever been the anchors of her heart. As a proud grandmother, Anna cherished the moments spent with her granddaughters, Melissa and Stephanie, and her grandson-in-law, Eugene. The laughter of her great-grandchildren, Olivia and Gabriel, brought her immeasurable joy, grounding her in the beautiful legacy of family she cultivated throughout her life.
Anna built a fulfilling life raised in the rich tapestry of her beloved Italian heritage. She was a woman of passion and grace, embracing life’s simple pleasures. She found great joy in planting flowers come springtime, going for walks outside, listening to Dean Martin on repeat, and losing herself in the pages of a good book. Her kitchen, infused with the delightful aroma of baking, was a special haven where she lovingly crafted her famous Italian cookies, each batch filled with love and tradition.
We are left remembering her immense spirit, her unwavering love for her family, and her ability to make every moment count. She will be dearly missed, but her legacy of love, laughter, and the sweetest memories of her baked treats will remain in our hearts forever. Anna Fanelli's life was a testament to the beauty of family, love, and the simple joys that make life truly rich.
All arrangements will be held in private, and we ask that you kindly respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.
Finally, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer's Society, in memory of Anna, would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
