Anna was born in Aielli Italy on March 8, 1945. She came to Kamloops, B.C., Canada, on July 11, 1970. Anna had only one occupation in life, her family -especially her grandchildren. Anna will be fondly remembered for her cooking. Her lasagne, bread and pizza were one-of a-kind, her hand made pastas and sauces were incredible - all prepared with "Nonna's" love. She enjoyed all that came with a houseful of family and friends, the laughter, the food and conversation.
