Obituary

Anna "Cookie" Lucia Candela

Anna "Cookie" Candela was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She left this world suddenly on November 12,2021 at the age of 79.
She was born to Bartolomeo and Theresa Giampietro on December 13, 1941 in Manhattan. Anna met Vito, her loving husband, best friend and travel companion in 1962. They were married for 57 years and lived in Cliffside Park, NJ. She was a member of the Rent Leveling Board and served as Town Committee Woman for District 14.
"Cookie" loved her family more than life itself and would have given the shirt off her back if asked.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Vito Candela, Son Steven and his wife Lisa Sciaretta-Candela. She will be missed by her grandson, Steven Anthony Candela and sister, Mary Nacca. Anna worked as an Executive Administrative Assistant at Simon and Schuster in Manhattan for more than 25 years as well as Leeds, Weld & Co. and finished her career at Farmland Dairies in Wallington, NJ.
Anna was an amazing cook who was known for her famous pasta and red sauce. Through the years, "Cookie" could be seen in the stands watching her beloved grandson, Steven, play baseball. Above all else she maintained that her greatest accomplishment in life was raising her beloved son, Steven, her true treasure.
