Anna was an amazing mom who filled her home with love, laughter, and the smell of home-cooked meals. She had a passion for baking and always found time to take her sons, Anthony (15) and Austin (18), on local adventures, making every day special. Whether she was driving her boys to theater rehearsals or cheering them on at school events, Anna was their biggest supporter. Her relationship with Ben was a true partnership. Ther were high-school sweethearts who weathered every storm together and built a life full of cherished memories.

Tragically, Anna passed away suddenly at work from a brain aneurysm, leaving behind Ben and their two sons. The family is now facing an uncertain future, as they relied on both Anna and Ben working full-time to make ends meet. With Anna gone, Ben is doing his best to hold things together, but the financial strain is becoming overwhelming. They need help with funeral expenses, meals, and covering missed time off work, as well as some support to get through the next few months while they adjust to this heartbreaking loss.

Those of us who knew Anna, knew how amazing she was. From the annual July 4th parties, to her open door and welcoming home, she was always there for us all. Now, let’s come together to be there for her and the family she loved so much. Your support will mean the world to Ben, Anthony, and Austin as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. Ben is exhausted and needs some time to mourn, so if you have any questions, please reach out to me directly and I can fill you in.

As soon as we get a funeral date, I'll update you all with the details.
