Obituary For Anna Romero
Anna Romero passed away on January 10th, at the age of 92. She is survived by her Sons Perry Romero and his Wife Renee, Richard Romero and his Wife Eva. Also survived by her Grandchildren Christopher, Spencer, Pierce, Anne, Kate, and Great Grandchildren Peyton, Levi, Kailer, Miles, Chase, and Grace. Anna was the last to survive from a family of 11 siblings Manuel, Mary, Angelina, Martin, John, Jack, Joe Jr., Anna, Charles, Gabriel, and Dolores.
Anna Marie was born in Boston, Massachusetts on April 20th, 1931 to mother Rose and father Joseph Francis. The family moved to Oakland, California in her early teens where she attended Castlemont High School until she started working at the Oakland Cannery at age 14. She met and married Arsenio Romero around 1950. Anna and Arsenio (Archie) loved to dance and that is how they met. They lived with Joseph and Rose a short time then bought a house in Oakland. While there they had two sons Ronnie and Perry.
Early in their marriage Anna traveled with Arsenio to New Mexico and was loved by the Romero family. Those family relationships have lasted throughout her life. Francis or Romero made no difference, Anna loved all the family. In 1963 they bought the home in Niles where Richard was later born. She loved living in the town of Niles. Anna was a member of Corpus Christi Church and always had faith in God.
She loved to attend Portuguese picnics and events into her middle ages. Anna loved to cook and was passionate about baking family members favorite cakes on their Birthdays. She loved to travel, visited Portugal, and made several trips to Europe touring different countries.
Anna loved going to Disneyland. She made it a priority to take sons, then Grandsons there, and also liked to take her sons to Santa Cruz. She would drive there in her Thunderbird. After 3 Sons and 3 Grandsons Anna was overjoyed when her Granddaughters Anne and later Kate were born. By then it was harder to go on longer trips so she enjoyed taking them to Sulpher Creek, the movies, and shopping.
Anna had all her sons sign up for Niles Centerville Little League Baseball and it became a life long passion for the family. She was always there to support and encourage her Sons, Grandsons, and first born Great Grandson. She continued to love baseball and the community of friends she met.
She worked for Costco for about 15 years meeting many friends. Anna enjoyed being with the Red Hat Group and meeting at Dino's for breakfast. She always loved to attend Birthdays and other occasions and celebrations with family and friends at Scoma's, Spenger's, Bancheroe's, La Casita, El Patio, Olive Garden and many other restaurants.
Anna Romero was a proud and loving Portuguese American woman who was always there for family and friends. Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Godmother, Aunt, and Friend who will be missed and forever in our hearts.
