Anna May married Anthony (Tony) Sterantino on May 10, 1952 and celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary this year. Anna May lived a full life enjoying time with family and friends; taking care of her grandkids; making weekend/week-long trips to NY; going on tropical vacations with long-time friends and watching her soap operas and Hallmark Channel.
