Anna M

Martin

Anna M. (Di Cross) Martin passed away on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, at Franciscan Care Center, Toledo, OH. Born on January 7, 1926, in Mansfield, OH, she was the daughter of Anthony and Agnes (Colaianni) Di Cross.

She graduated from Mansfield St. Peter's High School and spent her working years as a seamstress at the Ohio Overcoat Factory, Stratbury's, and National Seating. Her exceptional sewing skills gave her the opportunity to be the person asked to make the samples.

She lived at the Franciscan Care Center her last five years, where she entertained everyone with her charm. Her room there was for sleeping. She was at any activity (especially Bingo and Rummy) that was on the calendar. We want to thank all the employees at FCC for the loving care she was blessed with at their facility. We also want to thank Senior Independence Hospice for the loving care they provided in her last months.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Emma Bachelder and Rosie Di Cross; and son, Michael.

Surviving her are her daughter, Jo Ann Richards; son, David (Gail) Martin; daughter-in-law, Susan Martin. Grandchildren: Jeffery (Rishelle) Martin, Lindsay (Mike) Ditton, Brian (Suzy) Martin, Joe (Lisa) Martin, Michael Richards, Mary Richards Ayling, and Mark Richards. Great-grandchildren: Nicholas and Michael Martin, Matthew and Tyler Martin, Owen and Tristan Ditton.
