Anna Marie Sinopoli of Hermitage, formerly of Patt Dr., Farrell, passed away at 3:50 p.m. Monday, January 18, 2021, in St. John XXIII Home, Hermitage. She was 100.
Mrs. Sinopoli was born February 27, 1920, in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late Francesco and Rose (Madoro) Cavalieri. She was raised in the Duquesne section of Pittsburgh where she attended St. Peter Parochial School.
Her husband, John Sinopoli, whom she married in 1938 in St. Perpetua Church, McKeesport, Pa., passed away January 19, 1976.
Anna was an exceptional homemaker and would often comment that her favorite place to be was at her home where she raised her children and enjoyed cooking, cleaning and spending time with her family, particularly during the holidays when she hosted family dinners. She also enjoyed watching baseball, basketball and football on television and was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sunday mornings were spent listening to Dave DeMasey on the Italian radio show on WPIC.
Anna loved playing cards, particularly 6 handed euchre, with her husband and friends, Kenny and Rosie Clark, on Sunday evenings. She also enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas and Hawaii with the Clark's. Years earlier, she was a member of a mixed bowling league at Hickory Bowl and, more recently, enjoyed playing Bingo at St. John XXIII Home.
Anna is survived by three sons, Ralph Sinopoli and his companion Mary Kay Chestnut, of Sharpsville, Frank Sinopoli and his wife Lona, of Hermitage, and John Sinopoli and his wife Tracey, of New Wilmington; five grandchildren, Kara Leunis and her husband Fred, of Hermitage, Krista Redick and her husband Daniel, of Sharpsville, Kendra Ameduri and her husband Michael, of Butler, Tracy Sinopoli, of Hershey, and John "JJ" Sinopoli, of Virginia; five great grandchildren, Brady, Nathan and Payton Leunis and Julia and Madison Ameduri; 3 step grandchildren, Danielle Clingerman and her husband Mike, Melissa Black and Cody Black and his wife Jen; and 4 step great grandchildren, Harley and Huntleigh Clingerman, and Walter and Lawrence Black.
Besides her parents and husband, Anna was preceded in death by a sister, Frances Scalese (Jim); a brother, Joseph "Chisel" Madoro; and her father- and mother-in-law, Raffaele and Angelina Sinopoli. Anna will be deeply missed by her loving family and her John XXIII family, who provided a wonderful home for her and exceptional care.
