Anna was born on September 25th, 1935 in Nusco, Italy to her late parents Antonio and Saveria Della Vecchia. It was in this town where she met the love of her life, Antonio. They married November 6th, 1958, beginning their life journey together, which took them to Switzerland and finally to Canada in 1966. Through her great strength and hard work, alongside her husband, she built a comfortable life for her children. Family was her greatest priority and she fiercely protected those whom she loved. Not only did her compassion, nurturing and love flow outward from her heart to her children, but as well, to her grandchildren. She would spend countless hours caring for them and playing with them. Her selflessness will always be remembered.
Family and friends will have happy memories of times spent together filled with joy and laughter, not to mention the delicious homemade meals. Anna will be fondly remembered and missed by all those whose lives she touched.
