Annetta's family meant the world to her.  She lived a simple but very meaningful life that demonstrated hard work, strength, resilience and courage despite the challenges she faced.  She dedicated many years to working numerous jobs that she took pride in including roles at Carmela Coats, RapidPrint, Kaman Corporation, EIS Brake Parts and Habasit ABT before retiring in 2012 when she really enjoyed time with her young grandchildren.
Annetta's generous heart and kindness inspired and touched many lives.  Her greatest passion was cooking for her family and sharing the fruits of her labor.  Weekend gatherings always included her specialty eggplant, pizza, cutlets and pistachio cake.  Annetta was a devoted member of St. Sebastian Church.  She was a special woman that was adored by everyone and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
