Edgewater, New Jersey passed peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Friday

March 29, 2024. Born on August 1, 1933 in the Bronx, New York she was the loving

daughter to the late Christy and Natalie (nee: Majonica) Mercora. Devoted sister to the

late Vincenza Stabile and her husband Ronald. Anna was the Beloved wife to the late

During Anna’s life she had a variety of jobs. In her early years she worked as a

seamstress. She moved on to using her talent and passion for cooking catering and

managing small kitchen/cafeteria operations. She went on to work for Lipton for 15

years working in the Packaging and Consumer Testing Dept. After retirement she took

one of her favorite jobs as preschool aide at Ivy League School. She ended her

working career as cook for her Pastor/Friend at Holy Rosary Church.

 

Anna had the ability to make everyone feel loved and cared for. Her warmth, smile and

welcoming spirit brought sunshine to so many lives. Her love for her family, Italian

traditions, and exceptional cooking talent brought people together sitting around a table

filled with delicious food, laughing, and talking for hours. She had the ability to turn

small visits with family and friends into a party. Her summer backyard parties were the

best. Anna welcomed everyone into her home and made friends with everyone she

met.

 

Anna can be remembered for her love and service to people. Through her almost 40

years of volunteer work at Holy Rosary Church and the Edgewater community she

touched many people’s lives. She went on to do the same in Pennsylvania where she

volunteered at Brandywine Hospital and was part of the Women’s Project Group at

Exton Community Baptist Church where she made many beautiful friendships. Even in

her later years of health struggles, Anna managed to be a light in the lives of friends

she made at her dialysis center.
