Anne was born in Archbald, Pa., to Nazareno Andreoli and Letizia (Crispino).
She worked in furniture and custom drapery sales at B. Altman & Co. for many years before retirement.

Anne valued family and her heart was happiest when surrounded by hers.
In addition to her parents, Anne was predeceased by her husband, Thomas Joseph D’Amico; her daughter Susan McEachern; her brother, Robert Andreoli; and her sister, Marie Pandolfi.
She is survived by her daughter, Lisa D’Amico; her grandchildren, Sadye Anne Reardon (Patrick), Andrew McEachern (Nika) and Matthew McEachern (Jessie); and her great-grandchildren, Max, Susannah, Theodore, Jossi and Tahlia.
