Rest in Peace +MRS. ANNA TURRI+
We mark the passing from
this world unto God of a
faithful parishioner of St. Thomas
More.
Mrs. Anna, as she was fondly
known, surpassed the venerable
age of 100. She lived in her own
home until a very brief stay in
hospital. She received the Last
Rites and comfort of The Church
and her priests.
Mrs. Anna’s name will forever be
remembered and honored for her
great generosity to St. Thomas
More.
During the pastorate of Rev.
Frank O’Laughlin, Mrs. Anna
was the major benefactor of the
St. Thomas More Pre-School
and Faith Formation Buildings.
She endowed a fund, The Anna
Turri Trust, to benefit the Pre-
School and to provide assistance
to needy families when interest
was available. She was a practical
Catholic lady, giving of her tithes
and offerings, and worshiping on
the Lord’s Day in the chapel.
Many Eucharistic Ministers have
visited Mrs. Anna with Holy
Communion over the years,
but most prominent among
them are Josephine Desantis,
Vita Dean and most recently
Lucille Swinney. Mrs. Anna
bore her physical pain without
complaint and with great courage,
maintained her devotion to the
Blessed Virgin and often prayed
through the night from her easy
chair by the window. She knew
little comfort and accepted her
suffering in the spirit of Christ
Crucified. It was a privilege to
minister to her, and Rev. Alex
Vargas, Rev. Peter Truong join me
in commending Mrs. Anna to the
mercy of God and her family to
the consolation of the Spirit.
Rev. Julian P. Harris, Pastor
