Ruth Ann Anzalone, a treasured wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 86. Born in Jersey City, NJ to John and Mary Jazwick, she married Richard Anzalone in 1966, embarking on a 58-year journey of love and companionship. Together, they raised four children, who in turn blessed her with 14 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

Her Christian faith was the bedrock of her life. For years she enjoyed doing women's Bible studies with her friends. Her favorite scripture verse was Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Ruth was an exquisite hostess, her home always abuzz with the joy of celebrations, from birthdays to holidays, each one uniquely adorned with her personal touch. She had a beautiful love for her grandchildren, orchestrating delightful activities like tea parties and paddleboat rides, ensuring every moment was magical. Her passion for beauty extended to her home, which she kept impeccably decorated in her personal style, which she pursued with an eye for elegance and grace.

Ruth was not only a loving mother but a woman who poured her heart into nurturing her family, creating a legacy of love, warmth, and memories that will endure forever.
