Ana is the beloved wife of Osvaldo Rocha, with whom she shared 43 wonderful years. Loving mother of Jessie (Jesslyn) Rocha and Stacie (Shawn) Resendes, and the cherished daughter of Maria Branco and the late Norberto Branco (2012). A proud Avó, Ana adored her grandchildren: Isaac and Audrey Rocha, and Sloane and Palmer Resendes. She was a dear sister to Paula Branco and Mike (Laura) Branco, and will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
Ana was known for her incredible sense of humour and a laugh that could light up any room. She wanted to be remembered not for how she left, but for how fully and joyfully she lived.
