Anne Pellegrini “Annie” (nee Landi) age 88 of Wayne died on Thursday, December 24, 2009 peacefully at home receiving the loving care of her family and friends who were continually at her bedside.
She was born in Harrison where she lived her formative years on Third Street in Harrison. Anne received her formal education at Harrison Grammar School and Harrison High School graduating with the Class of 1938. While in high school she was on the softball team and the basketball team.
After high school she worked at IT&T in Nutley as a secretary and met her future husband, William Pellegrini. They married in September 1946 and had a wonderful loyal and trustworthy relationship for thirty-six years until Bill’s passing in October 1982.
While at IT&T she took up league bowling and enjoyed it immensely and continued bowling until she was 82.
She encouraged her daughter to bowl and they won the mother daughter tournament in Wayne.
After her marriage to Bill they lived in Harrison before moving to Wayne in 1951.
While in Wayne she became a parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church and was active in the church choir and the church’s Rosary Society. She possessed a very devoted dedication to her Roman Catholic Faith and passed the precious gift of faith to her children.
She also volunteered at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne.
As a widow she joined the Oakland Chapter of Parents Without Partners and became President of the organization.. She enjoyed dancing and developed a great deal of friendships through the organization.
She also loved to played bridge and that is where she met Frank Scotti. Her loving companion for the last 12 years of her life.
Anne had a personality that was kind, selfless and had the gracious ability to reach out to others in caring and comforting ways. She never complained and even in the last year when life was so tough she always said she was fine. She had many friends as a result of her loving and caring demeanor.
As a Mother she was very loving and devoted. For many years she ran Mom’s taxi service making sure that her children got to all of their activities and sports games. It did not matter how old her children were she was still the loving caring Mother who placed her children first in her life. She made her home a special place for her children that they will always remember. She loved to travel and one of her favorite places was Cancun. How proud she was when she went to Cancun with her sisters and bought a timeshare for not her but her family.
Another talent Anne possessed was her singing. She was in several musicals and loved to sing at various functions including singing the National Anthem and God Bless America at the Memorial Day parade in Wayne.
At home she was the best at cooking, baking cookies, flower arranging and sewing. She would make gift platters of cookies and distribute them to family, friends and hospitals. Oh those famous Greek cookies.
Surviving to mourn this wonderful person are one daughter Rina Pellegrini of Alexandria, Virginia, two sons James Pellegrini and his wife Deborah and William Pellegrini of Wayne; one sister Rose Sturchio of Middletown and one grandson Michael Pellegrini; also her loving companion of ten years Frank Scotti.
