Our precious mother, Anna "Ann" Louise Germano, the beloved wife for 68 years of the late Felix James Germano, departed from her loving family peacefully on Monday, December 6, 2021, entering eternal life after a heart-breaking period with dementia. Despite this diagnosis, her passion for life was no different and she was an inspiration to all of us for living life to the fullest. As long as mom could lift a hand, she would lift it in kindness to someone else. Ann was born in Troy and was the daughter of the late Joseph and Catherine (Girardi) Farina and was a graduate of Troy High School. After more than 20 years of service, Ann retired as an administrative assistant for the New York State Legislature and had fond memories of her time working for Assemblyman James McCabe Sr. and Assemblyman Elliot Engle. She loved to travel and was an avid golfer who had been a member of the County Club of Troy enjoying the competitions with her friends in the golf leagues. Ann was the devoted mother of Anthony J. (Laurie) Germano of North Greenbush, Cathy Krasnopolski of North Greenbush and Kelley (Gregory) Brown of Manchester, N.H.; sister of the late Anthony and Joan Farina; and is also survived by several adoring grandchildren and loving great-grandchildren. The Germano family extends heartfelt appreciation to the Eddy Hawthorne Ridge Memory Care Unit for the professional care and dedicated compassion they provided mom in her time of need. Relatives and friends are invited to St. Michael the Archangel Church, 175 Williams Rd., Troy, on Saturday, December 11, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. that will be followed by interment in the Calvary Cemetery, Glenmont. In lieu of flowers, those desiring, may make memorial contributions to Alzheimer's Association of Northeastern New York, 4 Pine West Plaza, Suite 405, Albany, NY 12205, in memory of Anna Louise Germano.
