On Sept. 28, 2022, Thomas Anamasi, 83, passed away, joining his wife,
JoAnn, after 59 years of marriage.

Tom was born on March 4, 1939, in Bridgeport, Connecticut to the late
Anthony and Grace (Incerto) Anamasi. Tom was a devoted husband, loving
father and grandfather, and beloved brother and friend.

He joined the Navy at 17 where he served honorably. Tom was a welder and
foreman in iron shops in Bridgeport until he relocated to Sarasota,
Florida, where he opened his own business.

He and JoAnn later moved to Kingman, Arizona where they resided for 27
years until her passing in June. Tom was a 4th degree Knight serving the
Knights of Columbus for many years. He was creative, dabbling in stained
glass and other sculpture works. Tom loved to cook for his family and
friends and for many fundraisers for the Knights and other
organizations.

The family would like to acknowledge the generous support and kindness
that friends and neighbors have provided over the years, especially
Darwin and Elaine Synder, Steve and Rebecca Davis, Donna and Jesse
Kellum, and Rose Gaia of Kingman; as well as friends in Charlotte, North
Carolina, especially Teresa Hu, Sergei and Lynda Bilcheck, Mary Shumway,
Scott Andresen and Deb Scholl.

Tom is survived by his daughter Lynn of Charlotte, North Carolina; son
Thomas of Venice, Florida; granddaughter Samantha (fiancé Jesse Renner)
of Queens, New York; sister Grace Hulford of Connecticut; brother Carlo
(Marie) of Connecticut and Anthony Anamasi of South Carolina; sister-in-
law Dianne (Mark) Petrino of South Carolina; and many nieces and
nephews. Tom was predeceased by his wife Johanna (Creter), his sisters
Josephine Carlson, Marie Cowell and Nancy Simmonds, and sister-in-law
Edwina Dempkowski.

The family will announce a Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu
of flowers, please donate in Tom’s name to the Kingman Regional Medical
Center Joan and Diana Hospice Home, 812 Airway Ave., Kingman, Arizona,
86409.
