Anne M. Martorana

A celebration of her life will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, 1/14/2023 at Santa Maria del Mar Church in Flagler Beach, Florida.

Anne is survived by her children Robert Martorana (Sharon) of Springfield, MO; Donna Kinnier (Jeffrey) of Johns Creek, GA; 4 Grandchildren: Allison Kusel, Brian Martorana, Bethany Marcol, Danielle Horvat and 5 Great-grandchildren: Kate and Joe Martorana, Luke and Claire Kusel, Brett Marcol, Dominic Horvat. She was predeceased by her husband, Emanuele (Manny) and daughter, Janice Kennedy.

Anne was born in West New York, NJ to the late James & Anna (Schuck) Martin. She attended St. Joseph’s High School. She lived most of her life in Lodi & Highland Lakes, New Jersey before moving to Florida in 1985.

After many years working as a receptionist and switchboard operator her last job was with her passion, the Santa Maria del Mar Catholic Church. She retired in 2010.

Volunteering and helping others was second nature to Anne. She served as Eucharistic Minister, Member of the Welcome Committee, MOM’s Group & Funeral receptions at Santa Maria del Mar. Anne also supported the Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice Center in NJ.

Anne loved tennis, dancing & watching NFL football – her favorite NFL teams were the Giants/Fran Tarkenton & the Jets. Her baking specialties were Italian pizzelles, lasagna & cheesecake, recipes she learned from her Italian Mother-in-law.

She always remembered everyone’s birthday and until late in life, travelled regularly to be with her Great Grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to the Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation, 99 Sparta Ave. Newton, NJ 08760 be made in her memory.
