Anne Messina Scannavino

Anne (Messina) Scannavino passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on February 26, 2020. Beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt. Predeceased by her husband Christopher Scannavino. A native of Brooklyn, New York, she proclaimed herself a ‘Yankee’ even after a lifetime in New Orleans. Staunchly devoted to her family, she took much delight in her grandchildren of all ages. She was well liked for her warm and friendly spirit, and was appreciated for her deeply caring nature. She was quick to laugh at any opportunity. A devout Catholic with deep and unwavering faith in God, she was active in the prayer ministry at St. Edward the Confessor parish for many years. Her prayers touched the lives of those in need, near and far. Forever in our hearts.

Family and friends are invited to attend funeral services on Monday, March 2, 2020 at St. Edward the Confessor Church, 4921 W. Metairie Ave., Metairie. Visitation will be held from 10AM-11AM with a Funeral Mass to begin at 11AM. Interment will follow at Garden of Memories Cemetery, 4800 Airline Dr., Metairie.
