Kenny, Anna Marie
By Canton CitizenAnna Marie Kenny of St. Augustine, Florida, passed away on February 15, 2025, with her loving daughters by her side.
Anna Marie was born on October 18, 1936, in Norwood to the late Philip and Pasqualina (Petterino) Zanazzo. She was predeceased by her husband, Donald Joseph Kenny, and her sister, Lillian Adele Zanazzo.
Anna Marie graduated from Canton High School in 1954 and Bridgewater State Teachers College in 1958 with her bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She taught fourth and fifth grade at Honey Hill School in Norwalk, CT, where she met her husband, Don Kenny. Anna Marie and Don married in 1962 and enjoyed 56 loving years together. They raised their four daughters in Old Saybrook, CT, and after 45 years, they moved to St. Augustine, FL.
Anna Marie was the devoted mother of Patricia Kenny of St. Augustine, FL, Kat Pineda of St. Petersburg, FL, Erin (Mike) Bicho of Assonet, and Cara (Christian) Chandler of Ashfield. She was the loving Nonnie of Marcus, Koral and Donald Pineda, Julia and John Bicho, and Christian Chandler.
Anna Marie was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Old Saybrook, CT, and later Corpus Christi Catholic Church in St. Augustine, FL.
Anna Marie cherished her parents’ hometown of Gattinara, Italy, and proudly shared, “Sono piemontese.” She loved eating fresh-caught blue crabs, enjoyed many beach days in Indian Town, getting together with family and friends, and making pizzelles during the holidays. We are truly blessed to have enjoyed her for so long — and are better people because of her.
In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Shriners Hospitals for Children in memory of Anna Marie Kenny are appreciated. A memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, March 22, at 9 a.m. at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in St. Augustine, FL. A memorial Mass and interment is planned for the summer of 2025 in Canton.
