(1939 – 2024) - After 12 challenging and courageous weeks at the Sault Area Hospital, our mother, Nonna and great Nonna passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family at the Algoma Residential Community Hospice (ARCH) on Thursday, June 6, 2024 shortly after sunrise in her 85th year. Anna was born on August 4, 1939, in Piagge, Marche, Italy and immigrated to Canada with her family in 1956. She began working at Tomira’s Fashions on Queen St as a seamstress, a profession she loved and was good at.
She was a feisty and kind woman who loved her family to no end. After raising four children without the guidance of her mother, whom she missed terribly, she turned her focus to her grandchildren whom she loved unconditionally. She was then blessed with three beautiful great granddaughters which put her over the moon.
When we showed her pictures or videos of the girls in the hospital, she’d squeal from happiness. Nonna loved cooking for them and for all of us at every opportunity. When any of us walked through her door she would ask, are you tired, did you eat? She loved being surrounded by her family and always worried about us but never herself.
Anna was the wife to the late Alcide (2015), protective mother of Gabe Giulietti (Natalie), Steven Giulietti, Dan Giulietti (Audrey McEvoy) and Patricia Colyn (Paul). Proud Nonna of David (Megan), Matthew (Brittany), Nicholas (Rachel), Nathan, Roman, Andrew, Sofia and Stephanie. Elated great Nonna of Isabel, Maya and Luna.
