Obituary
Anna V. (Vezza) McDonald
A mother, wife, sister, volunteer, and friend, Anna was so much to so many. Her life was focused on her family, but she always made time to help others as well. Her husband, children, family, friends and the community reaped the benefits of her caring nature.
Anna might have told you that the best day of her life was the day she married her best friend. She met Bob McDonald while volunteering as a dispatcher with Greece Volunteer Ambulance. They had 3 beautiful children together; William, Melissa and Patrick who kept them very busy. She took her job in raising her family very seriously. They were blessed by her abundance of delicious and nutritious meals. She also enjoyed planning the family camping trips, which were always memorable, especially the time sliding down the waterfall over the rocks.
In addition to volunteering at the Greece Volunteer Ambulance, Anna gave of her time in other ways including volunteering as a children's advocate at special hearings within the Greece Central School District. She also discovered that she enjoyed boarding foreign exchange students, of which she had several! She enjoyed helping feed the children who attended VBS at St. Monica's Church as well.
Anna's generous good-hearted ways will be remembered fondly by those who knew her.
