Continue ReadingAnna D’Alessandro, 51, of Port Charlotte, Florida, passed away Saturday, January 14, 2012 with the love of her family at her side.
Born July 23, 1960 in Astoria, New York, daughter to the late Ida and Giuseppe Tiseo, Anna graduated from Adelphi University in New York, with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters in Reading Education. She taught at St. Adalbert School in Maspeth, NY, and Polk Street School in Franklin Square, NY. Anna and her husband Paul moved from Franklin Square in New York to Port Charlotte in 1989. Anna, who was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Port Charlotte, was also a teacher for St. Charles Borromeo School.
Anna’s love for children was evident in the career path she chose. She left an indelible mark on the children whose lives she touched. Even greater than her love for teaching was the love she had for her family. She was beloved by her many nieces and nephews. Anna was a dedicated caregiver to her mother for many years but her world revolved around her husband and her sons. She was happiest when they were spending time together.
Her bubbly personality remained with her even while battling cancer. Those who shared her battle found her to be a source of inspiration – her infectious smile would brighten their day. Her faith gave her the strength to fight her battle as long as she did. Taken from us too soon, Anna will always be remembered for her large giving heart, her willingness to put the needs of others before her own, and the love she had for the joys of her life, Paul Paulie, and Nicky.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 30 years, Paul John D’Alessandro; sons, Paul Jr. and Nicholas D’Alessandro; brother, Albert (Wife Barbara) Tiseo; many nieces, nephews and other family members.
Visitation will be from 12:30 to 1:30 P.M. Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at Roberson Funeral Homes Port Charlotte Chapel. Mass of Christian burial will be held 2 P.M. Wednesday, January 18, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. Burial will be held Saturday, January 21, at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Queens, New York.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests Memorial Bequests in Anna’s name to Tidewell Hospice.

Dear Paul and Nick,
I extend my deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your beloved mother. Her profound influence upon you was apparent when you were students in my class at Charlotte High School. At open houses and in phone conversations, your mother was encouraging and supportive of both of you and of academic rigor. She wanted you to realize your potential, and both of you are well on your way to accomplishing that goal.
May God grant you strength, courage, peace, and hope in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead as your mourn the loss of your mother, yet celebrate her rebirth, preserve her memory, and anticipate your reunion with her some day.
Fondly,

We met during our chemo sessions almost 3 yrs. ago & easily became friends.
She was such a sweet & caring lady & a very mighty Warrior against this terrible Cancer.
Her great love of her husband & sons is what carried her through this battle.
But cancer did not win, Anna did, as our good Lord has her hand in heaven.
My heart goes out to you, her family.
Anna will always be in my prayers.
You now have your own special Angel to watch over you in heaven.

It is with deep sadness we send each of you our most sincere condolences with the loss of dear Anna.
We will always have her near in our hearts, especially at church where we sat together and compared our struggle with the big "C". We have been very fortunate to know Anna, and you, Paul and especially Paulie and Nick.
Very hard to know the workings of God's will and to accept but we must.
Please carry on as that's what she lived for, you and the boys.

Its hard to imagine that we will no longer see that beautiful smile - what a lose! It could be months even years that I did not see her but that didn't matter with Anna - it was as if was just yesterday - a huge hug and sincere interest in me and my family and how we were doing. She had that gift - when she spoke to you - it was like you were the only person in the world.
Nicholas - you and Philippe grew up together - since kindergarten. What a fine young man you've become! Your mom was so proud of you and your achievements through the years - she had a huge hand in that. What An outstanding mother and caregiver she was. I know her legacy will live on in you and Paul (the pride and joys of her life.). My heart is heavy with her passing. May your hearts find strength and comfort in what she has taught you and what she wanted for your futures. May Gods bless and keep you always - and may you rest in peace Anna - job well done!
