Anna Sanchez (Jessica Hunt)

Anna Sanchez, 50 of Stratford, unexpectedly passed into eternal rest on April 22nd 2019 in Bridgeport Hospital surrounded by family. Anna was a resident of Stratford for over 3o years and was a Bus driver for Stratford, Bridgeport, and Fairfield public schools as well as a home Heath aid. Anna was born on January 3rd, 1969 in Bridgeport CT, to Robert Cosme and Marie Midge O'Neil.

Anna was a loving and caring person. She was generous and would give you the shirt off of her back if she could. She was honest and would tell you the truth regardless of if you wanted to hear it or not. Anna loved cooking for her friends and family, you couldn't find a better rice and beans or pig meat. Anna loved to conversate, my favorite memories are of sitting and talking to her for hours. Anna loved her children and grandchildren immensely. She always wanted to see them and be around them. She was a good person with a good heart. We are heartbroken by her passing.

In addition to her mother, Anna was predeceased by her sister, Madeline Cosme.
