Obituary: Anna (Robstock) Golias, 91, of Stratford

STRATFORD, CT - (From Pistey Funeral Home) Anna (Robstock) Golias, age 91, of Stratford passed away with her loving family by her side on April 17, 2021 at Lord Chamberlain Nursing & Rehabilitation Center from complications of Covid 19.

Anna was born on February 16, 1930 in Stratford, daughter of the late Anna (Ploskunyak) and William Robstock.

Anna was the wife of the late Michael T. Golias who passed away in 2012.Anna and Michael built their home and were lifelong residents of the North End of Stratford.

There they provided a wonderful childhood for their son Daniel who feels blessed to have grown up with the woods of Wooster Park as his backyard. Anna was first and foremost a loving, selfless and devoted wife and mother, her concern always for the health, happiness and safety of her family.

She retired from GE and spent her retirement enjoying her home and the simple pleasures in life. She enjoyed listening to the music of the classic crooners.

In fact, Daniel credits his mother with introducing him to the Beatles, his biggest influence, which led to his own lifelong musical career. She also loved watching classic movies, especially dramas featuring the stars of old days.

She herself could have been one of those stars given the classic beauty she possessed in her younger years. She particularly treasured her Sunday night TCM movie dates with Dan and Kathy and the delicious meals created by her son.

In addition to her husband and parents, Anna was predeceased by her siblings Dorothy Bassaline, William and Ronald Robstock and her daughter-in-law Barbara Golias.

Left to cherish her memory are her beloved son Daniel and his wife Kathleen of Beacon Falls, her cousin Raymond Robstock of Naples, FL and several nieces and nephews.

Her family would like to send specials thanks to Patti Hudak for her friendship and special caring attention over the last several years.

Funeral arrangements are private, there are no calling hours.In lieu of flowers the family kindly requests memorial contributions in Anna's name be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
