Anna Occhi, a retired seamstress in New York City, passed on Friday, Feb. 5, 2016. She was 90.

The daughter of the late Elvira and Secondo Croci, she was born on Dec. 27, 1925, in Pievi di Gusaliggio, Valmozzola Parma, Italy.

Anna was predeceased by her loving husband of 47 years, Ettore, in 1995. Ettore and Anna immigrated to the United States in 1966 from London after immigrating to London in 1958 from Italy, and settled in the Bronx.

Anna was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who thought of others first and cared deeply for her family. As the matriarch of our family, she taught us that family was the most important thing in life, and to love and care for each other. Anna was a hardworking woman throughout life, who always put family first. We will miss her kindness, thoughtfulness, smile, and sense of humor. We love you and we look forward to the day we will see you again. Until that day, we have gained a special guardian angel.
