Joan C. Anelli (nee Connors) was born in the Bronx on July 9, 1933 and passed away on January 23, 2022 in West Harrison, NY. She is the loving mother/mother-in law of Deborah and Dominick Ardino of White Plains, NY and Valerie Anelli of Palisades, NY; devoted grandmother of Mathew (Stephanie) Ardino of Stamford, CT, Robert (Nicole) Ardino of Armonk, NY and Michael Anelli of Palisades, NY; and great-grandmother to Emilia Clare Ardino. She is predeceased by her parents, Anna and Charles Connors, her husband John Anelli and son Michael Anelli.
Soon after Joan married her “Johnny,” they moved from the Bronx to Northvale, NJ where she devoted her life to raising her family. She also volunteered at Northvale Library, loved playing tennis and mahjong, and spending time with her many friends. But her grandsons were the loves of her life and we’re so grateful that she was able to meet and spend time with Emilia before she passed.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 920 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, NY 10605, toady, at 11 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Avenue, 17th Floor, Chicago, IL 60601.
