Anna (“Anne”) Sansone Solari, 96, born on August 8th 1916, passed away May 2, 2013.
The matriarch and heart & soul of the Solari family, Anne was born and raised in the Village in New York City where she met Joseph (“Joe”) Solari. They married at Our Lady of Pompeii Catholic Church on June 19, 1938.
They moved to Wayne, New Jersey in 1940 where they raised 6 children. Anne and Joe lived in Wayne for over 70 years with extended stays in Dunedin Florida, where they eventually bought a winter home. After he passed, Anne stayed with her daughter, Gerri in Palm Harbor, Florida, until 2011, when she decided to remain in Wayne year round.
Anne is the treasured mother of 6 loving children: Rachelle Fitzpatrick of Belleview, Florida, Geraldine Maday (and husband, Robert) of Palm Harbor, Florida, Susan Geraghty (and husband, William) of Nutley, New Jersey, Arthur Solari (and wife, Dawn) of Wayne, New Jersey, Joseph Solari, Jr. (and wife, Bernadette) of Wayne, New Jersey, Lisbeth DeSiervo (and husband, Luca) of Vernon, New Jersey; 12 loving grandchildren: Joseph and LuAnn Fitzpatrick, Donna Griffin, Robert Maday, Gary and Ricky Geraghty, Arthur and Daniel Solari, William and Joseph Solari, Jason and Johnathon DeSiervo; 13 loving great grandchildren: Robin DeGraw, Caitlin, Lindsey and David Griffin, Robert and Maria Maday, Madison, Jackson, Mia and Isabel Geraghty, Jordan Solari, Joshua and Ethan DeSiervo; and 2 loving great great grandchildren, Tiffany and Zakary Brizendine, as well as her many nieces and nephews.
Anne’s faithful and steadfast belief in God set a touching example for family, friends and strangers about how to live your life and treat other people with love and kindness. A person could not encounter Anne without being touched by her warmth and inner beauty. There was no person she wasn’t willing to help and she was a stranger to no one. Her strength, integrity and compassion inspired her children to raise their families as she raised her own. She will be truly and deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105 would be appreciated.
