Anna Sikora, 71, passed away peacefully at her home on June 22, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.
Anna was the heart of her family. She truly loved being a mother and a wife, but her favorite title by far was, “Nonna”, a role she cherished deeply and was filled with endless love, laughter, and affection.
She was a beautiful soul who brought warmth, love, and joy to anyone and everyone around her. She was the kind of person who complimented everyone she met- whether it was a complete stranger in a store, a friend or family member, or someone she had just met, she made everyone feel so special. She had such a gift of making simple moments so extraordinary.
She loved cooking and baking and keeping the traditions she grew up with alive through her family. She loved listening to music and somehow was able to sing along to every song she ever listened to. You could always find Anna with the kids at any family function. She had such a gift of making everything so fun and always making them laugh.
Anna will be remembered for her loving and selfless heart, her tremendous strength, and the way she made the people she loved feel cared for.
Beloved wife of Bernie Sikora. Devoted mother of Gianna Sikora. Cherished grandmother of Rosalia Luna. Sister of Peter Esposito, his wife Teresa, Jenny Malgieri, her husband Carmen, and Walter Esposito. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, family members, cousins and friends.
Anna was pre-deceased by her parents Charles and Rose Esposito, and her brother Charlie Esposito.
