Anna V. (Perla) Antocci

Leominster-Anna V. (Perla) Antocci, 98, of Leominster, Massachusetts passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 19th at Manor On The Hill.
She was born on July 18th, 1927 to Domenic and Mary (Trenta) Perla and lived in Leominster all her life. She was married for 62 years to her loving husband Joseph P. Antocci and was predeceased by her sister, Madeline Girouard, her 4 brothers Louis (Sonny) Perla, Sam Perla, Julio Perla and Richard Perla.
Anna was happiest when surrounded by her family and cherished the decades she spent hosting Christmas Eve gatherings and Sunday dinners, her table always full of loved ones. Anytime you stopped by unannounced, she would gladly set aside her crossword puzzle, brew you a cup of tea and serve some homemade pizzelles. She shared a long and fulfilling marriage with her husband, Joe, raising three sons, creating countless family traditions, and later in life traveling the country together and taking several special trips to Italy. She was an active member of Saint Anna Parish for many years. You could often find her volunteering at parish fish dinners, attending church events and enjoying the fellowship of her church community. She leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity and devotion to family that will continue through the generations she loved so deeply.
