Anna will be lovingly remembered by her six children, Giuseppina DiStasio, Rocco, Andrea (Anna), Maria, Tony (Helen) and Diana Bohun (Tim); along with grandchildren, Matteo, Tony, Andrea, Tara, Vincent, Adam, Cole, Andrew, Lukas, Rachel and Maria and great-grandchildren, Justina, Tianna, Dominick, Kevin, Hawksley, Emily, Liam, Hayden and Enzo. She will be greatly missed by sisters, Maria Costantini (Angelo) of Colleferro, Italy, Rosa Zarrillo (Vincenzo) of Montivideo, Uruguay and Maria Carmela Tagliaferri of Winnipeg, along with brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, many nieces and nephews in Italy, Uruguay, upstate New York and here in Canada. Anna was born in Balvano, Italy, and was from a family of 11 children, being the fifth child to Maria Iaquinta and Carmine Zarrillo. She was predeceased by her parents, her in-laws, five brothers and two sisters, along with many brothers and sisters-in-law. In 1976, she was predeceased by her beloved husband Vincenzo Zarrillo, in 1999 daughter-in-law Sheila Zarrillo and in 2000, son-in-law Gerardo DiStasio. Anna married Vincenzo Zarrillo in 1941. In 1955, she immigrated to Canada with their three children (Giuseppina, Rocco and Andrea), joining Vincenzo who immigrated after the Second World War and was able to sponsor his wife and children and they settled into Winnipeg. Winnipeg blessed them with three more children, Maria, Tony and Diana. We are mindful of our good fortune to have had our Mom with us for so many good years. Grateful is an understatement. She taught all of us so much by her words, wisdom and deeds. Special thanks to the staff at Irene Baron Eden Centre where our mother spent her last two years, and to the caring teams at both Seven Oaks and Concordia Hospital.

I remember her when I was young girl as a short and beautiful woman and now that I am older I realize what a strong and courageous woman she also was. My condolences to the Zarrillo family, you were very lucky to have her in your lives for so many years. - Posted by: connie pietrafesa (family friend) on: Dec 06, 2016

I work at Irene Baron Eden Centre and work specifilly on the neighborhood where Anna lived. What a truly amazing blessing Anna was. I absolutley loved being around her and having chats with her. Loved her stories, her passionate love for her family and her spunkiness. She always made me smile and if I wasn't smiling, she'd make sure I was. Amazing beautiful family!!!!! - Posted by: Karen Cavers () on: Nov 16, 2016

Mrs Zarrillo always had an open door for us growing up in Elmwood. She always kept Tony in line and the rest of us as well. She lived a long life and will be in our thoughts always.

Art and I would like to send all of you in the family our condolences. Antonia lived an amazing life. I knew her since 1958 and have some fond memories from when I lived in Winnipeg. "Such a strong personality." Those we lose continue on in our hearts and memories. She lived a long life and has left a continuing legacy in her children and grandchildren. God bless you all. - Posted by: Lucy and Art Traini (Friend) on: Nov 14, 2016

Tony, Helen, Adam and family: I knew your mother, only through conversations I had with Helen, when we worked together. However, I know that you will miss your Mom, as will all your family - she leaves behind a few generations. I offer my condolences to you all on your loss, and wish you days and years of good memories. - Posted by: Linda Henderson () on: Nov 14, 2016

My sincere condolences to the Zarrillo family. Our family moved to Atlantic Ave. in the North End in 1960 and meeting and getting to know the Zarrillo family was exciting, being they were the first Italians I had ever met. Mrs Zarrillo was a wonderful, loving mother and grandmother and will be missed greatly. God Bless her family R. Jim Campbell - Posted by: Jim Campbell (family friend/neighbour) on: Nov 14, 2016
