Anna D'Apuzzo passed on August 26, 2026, at the age of 88. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and adored great-grandmother, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.
Anna was the beloved wife of Ralph, with whom she shared 64 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a beautiful life centered on family, love, tradition, and countless cherished memories. Their years together included many special trips to Italy, where they enjoyed reconnecting with the beauty and traditions of their heritage.
She was the loving mother of Joseph and his wife Pam, Steven and his wife Michele, and Isabella and her husband John. Anna was also a cherished Nonna to Deanna Lamella and her husband Nick, Gabriella, Steven Jr., Daniella, Annabella, and Gianna, and the adored great-grandmother of Gio and Lino.
Family was the most important thing in Anna’s world. Nothing brought her greater happiness than being surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She treasured every moment with them and took great pride in creating a warm, loving home where family, food, and tradition always came together.
Anna found joy in the little things that made life special. She loved tending to her garden, especially growing fresh vegetables and fragrant herbs. Her string beans and other garden vegetables were prepared with love, while her abundant basil found its way into many of her beloved dishes. She was especially famous for her Neapolitan pizza pies, lovingly prepared and enjoyed by generations of family.
She also enjoyed shopping and her many trips to Costco with Ralph, which became special outings filled with companionship and laughter. Above all, however, Anna’s greatest joy was being with the people she loved.
Her warmth, generosity, devotion, and love of family will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, family traditions, wonderful meals, and treasured memories that will continue through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
