She is also remembered by her wonderful nieces and nephews whom she loved as her own, and her many groups of friends including classmates, Red Hat Ladies, FM Global workmates, and neighbors, all of whom she prayed for often. Anna was predeceased by her parents, Antonio and Rosina (Imperiali) Ippoliti, her sister Irene Iafolla, her brothers Renzo and Albert Ippoliti, and her beloved daughter-in-law, Carol Sullivan Greene. She truly believed she would be joining them all again.
