"It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Stanley, who was a co-founder of Roger Satariano & Son Ltd," a post on the Satariano Facebook page read.

Highlighting Anna's personal achievements and dedication to the company, the post continued that: "Anna was a devoted and loving wife, mother & grandmother. Anna dedicated 63 years of her life to her family business and was instrumental to its growth and success."

"She will always be remembered as a driving force and pillar of the business by our long-standing employees and clients. Anna, we’ll never forget your ready smile, helping hand and most of all how warmhearted you were. You will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, our dearest Anna."

Anna's husband Colin also paid tribute to his wife: "My beautiful wife. She left me after 55 years. Love you," he wrote in a Facebook post on his personal profile.

A colleague of Anna's took to Facebook to share a touching eulogy: "She was my director, friend and mentor for 40 years. We worked side by side, and she showed nothing less than respect. She thought me perseverance and resilience. Her strong character showed through her dedication for work, but most of all for her family which she adored," the post read.

Our condolences to Anna's family, friends and colleagues.
