Anna M. (Morandi) Carbone, 88, a lifelong Woburn resident died peacefully in her home on January 18th surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Peter Carbone, Sr. and daughter of the late Michael and Maria (Gentile) Morandi.
Anna, affectionately known as Nana, was entirely devoted to her husband and family which included six children, 29 grandchildren, and 44 great-grandchildren. As a dedicated mother and grandmother, she never missed a first communion, graduation, sporting event, or birthday party. Nana was always the first one to call and express her best wishes on every birthday or your special day.
Each visit to Nana’s home began with a cup of tea at the kitchen table. It was also at this table that she displayed her gift of cooking and demonstrated the importance of family values. Nana then published an extensive cookbook of her own recipes, which she perfected throughout her lifetime.
Anna was also very supportive and involved over the years with her husband and children in the running of the family business, the former Amoco Pete’s Service Station, later known as Peter Carbone & Sons, Inc.
In addition to her late husband and parents, Anna is preceded in death by her son-in-law James L. Murphy, Sr., her sister Angelina Vasapoli, her brothers, Joseph, Anthony and Paul Morandi. Anna is survived by her children, Salvatore and his wife Janice of Wilmington, Peter Jr. and his wife Carol, Joseph and his wife Constance, John and Dianne, Anna Marie Murphy, Robert and his wife Diane, all of Woburn. She is also survived by her brother, John Morandi of Woburn.
