Anita was a kind and loving soul who touched the lives of many as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother "Nonnie", and best friend. She was known for her boundless generosity and willingness to help others in need. Anita's warm and caring nature endeared her to all who knew her. Anita excelled in school, by graduating at the top of her class in grammar school, with Honors at Crosby High School, and Valedictorian from the Waterbury Hospital School of Nursing. In her professional life, Anita was a Registered Nurse at Waterbury and Bridgeport Hospitals, serving in the NICU units, a Realtor at David Mase Real Estate, and a Volunteer Broadcast Reader for the Blind. She dedicated herself to caring for others in various capacities, leaving a lasting impact on those she served. An active attendee of both St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church and Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Anita found comfort and community in her faith.
