Anna Basciani Obituary
Anna Basciani, age 93 of Avondale, PA, passed away peacefully at home while surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Anna was the wife of the late Mario Chuff Basciani, with whom she shared over 70 years of marriage prior to his passing in September of 2020.
Born 1929 at home in Toughkenamon, PA, Anna was the daughter of the late Antonio Masciantonio and the late Mary DeDominic Masciantonio.
Anna graduated from Kennett High School. Until the age of 80, Anna worked as a bookkeeper for the family business, Basciani Mushroom Farms. Yet, the title Anna was most proud to have was mom. She dedicated her life to raising her family and found great delight in taking care of those whom she loved.
Anna loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a wonderful cook and her family always looked forward to one of her homemade meals. Anna also enjoyed traveling.
Anna was the matriarch of her family. She was a strong woman so strong that she beat cancer five times and through it all never complained. Annas faith was also strong and she was an original church keeper for St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother Parish, where she was a lifelong member.
Annas family and friends will deeply miss her lovable personality and the joy she brought to the world.
Annas family would like to extend their deep gratitude to all of her caregivers and acknowledge the special efforts of both Anita and Frances. They also thank Brandywine Hospice for their support through a difficult time.
Anna is survived by sons, Mario Monnie Basciani (Kathleen), Richard Basciani (Kim) and Michael Basciani (Carla); daughters, Joanne Regester (George) and Susanne Guizzetti (Victor); 18 grandchildren; and 42 great grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, Anna was preceded in death by her brother, Nick Masciantonio and her sisters, Julia Caputo and Helen Vallorani.
