It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Anna Maria Romano of Hamilton, Ontario, who passed away peacefully on May 13, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Anna Maria was deeply loved, and her presence brought warmth, strength, and comfort to everyone blessed to know her. Her devotion to her family was unwavering, and her kindness touched countless lives in quiet and meaningful ways.

In moments of remembrance, may comfort be found in the love she gave so freely, the sacrifices she made with grace, and the beautiful memories she leaves behind. Her gentle spirit, generous heart, and steadfast love will continue to live on through her family and all who were fortunate enough to be part of her life.

Anna Maria was the beloved wife of the late Giuseppe (“Pino”) Romano, and a devoted and loving mother to Rocco (Jennifer), Marco (Joanne), and Amelia Stern (Christopher). She was a cherished Nonna to Matthew and Skylar, who brought her endless joy and pride. Anna Maria will be deeply missed and forever lovingly remembered by her extended family, dear friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to every doctor and the phenomenal nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital who cared for Anna Maria with such compassion and dedication. Your kindness, comfort, and support will never be forgotten.
