Anna J. Muziani

In Loving Memory of Anna J. Muziani A Life Well-Lived and Cherished Anna J. Muziani passed away peacefully on Juneteenth, leaving behind a legacy marked by strength, kindness, talent, intelligence, beauty and compassion. Her life measured 93 years, and she spent it devoted to serving others and seeking peace and justice. A Legacy of Love Anna assumed a traditional role as a mid-century wife and mother, but she was different. None of her three daughters had a Barbie doll because Anna did not approve of the body image message Barbie was sending. Anna was a very talented and creative clothing designer and seamstress. She made just about everything her children (and their dolls) wore. She was voted “Best Dressed Girl” in high school, learning to sew at age 11, earning money to help support her family. Anna was handy inside and outside her home, mowing the lawn, cleaning the gutters, shoveling snow, painting the house and sewing her one-of-a-kind window treatments. Friends and family eagerly looked forward to her delicious homemade pizzelles and coveted the recipe which remains a mystery! Anna was a consummate volunteer. She was room mother, brownie leader, altar and rosary member, and enjoyed listening to family and friends, offering advice, prayers, and encouragement. Anna enjoyed many friendships and gifted each with her love and understanding. Her unwavering love and support is the cornerstone of her family. Her wisdom, humor, and generosity left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Celebrating Her Achievements Anna was a pioneer in many ways. Uniquely skilled for several different professions, at age 47, she entered nursing school and graduated first in her class in academic and clinical achievement. She was the nurse that everyone wished they had. Kind, thorough, dedicated, compassionate and hard working. Early to work and late to leave, it was all about her patients, whomever and wherever they may be. This included hospital med-surg units, methadone clinics, prisons, and nurseries for babies born to drug addicted mothers. Anna was fearless and took on jobs and cases that no one else would do. She was strong physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She loved God and knew she was His child from a very early age. She pursued spiritual and metaphysical studies and practiced healthy eating and physical exercise before it was fashionable. Anna was always ahead of her time and right on time. She loved helping and educating others and many found solace in her bright smile and accepting demeaner. Anna brought joy and dedication to everything she did. Cherished Memories Anna is predeceased by her husband of fifty-five years, Mr. Fix-It and ballroom dancer, Daniel. Fellow dancers stopped and just watched Danny and Annie glide across the ballroom floor. Anna is survived by her children Roseann, Bill, Rhonda, Renee, Mario, Damian and Adriana and grandchildren Maria and Michael who will carry forward her lessons of love and perseverance. She is also survived by two sisters-in law, Katherine and Marie, Cousin Joanne, Godchild Gina and her cherished nieces and nephews. Acknowledging Her Impact Anna will be remembered not only for her accomplishments but for her unwavering kindness and generosity. She was a light in dark moments, a guide through challenges, and a source of inspiration to those fortunate enough to know her. Service Information Funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the charity of your choice, honoring Anna’s volunteering spirit and commitment to improving the world around her. We love you and miss you, beloved and beautiful Anna. Rest in peace, knowing your legacy will never be forgotten and we will honor your memory as we live our lives each day.
