Anna Maria Risi was born on March 30, 1933 in Cervaro, Italy. She passed away peacefully and was greeted in heaven on July 26, 2020 at the age of 87 years in Vancouver, BC. She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Agostino; her cherished son, Roberto and countless nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her younger brother, Giovanni Recchia and older sister, Giuseppina DiCamillo.
We will remember Anna for her kindness to everyone, her compassion and beautiful soul. She was an absolutely amazing daughter, caring mother, supportive sister, devoted wife, greatest aunt ever & best friend. Anna’s lovely smile and laughter brought happiness to everyone around her. She shared wonderful stories of earlier years, was extremely hard-working, resilient and a brave individual.
