Mrs. Anne (Biamonte) Maggi

UTICA – Mrs. Anne (Biamonte) Maggi, age 100, passed away on Thursday, January 2, 2025, with her loving family by her side. Born in Utica on May 4, 1924, Anne was the daughter of the late Nicholas and Frances (Battaglia) Biamonte. She attended T.R. Proctor High School and was proud to be part of the first class celebrating its opening. During World War II, she worked to aid her country in the war effort on the Homefront. On June 7, 1947, Anne wed Louis A. Maggi. The couple shared almost 64 happy years together prior to Louis’ passing on April 4, 2011. Anne was known for her generous heart, always greeting others with her beautiful smile and warm hazel eyes. She devoted her life to her family and was an exceptional homemaker. Always resourceful, her diverse skills allowed her to take advantage of what she could cultivate to make her home a welcoming one in all aspects. She enjoyed her garden, walking in Proctor Park with the "Girls," and was an excellent cook who loved to entertain. She cherished time spent with family and friends, gathering each week with friends for breakfast, afternoon gatherings, and playing cards with her close-knit group. Some of her fondest memories were the holidays spent surrounded by loved ones. She often said, “Just take one day at a time.” A devoted member of the Knights of St. John Ladies Auxiliary, Anne dedicated herself to their many events and acts of goodwill. She also loved travelling throughout the United States with her husband. Anne was deeply spiritual and a devout Catholic. A lifelong parishioner of St. Anthony & St. Agnes Church, she supported many loved ones and friends and supported the parish and the Ladies Auxiliary through her prayer chains and phone calls. She volunteered her time and talents at feasts and breakfasts hosted by the parish and the organization. Anne is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Robert and Maggi Maggi, David Maggi, and Gary and Erin Maggi; and grandchildren, Benjamin and Sarah Maggi, and Nicholas Maggi. She cherished the memories of her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Regina and Van Jackson, who preceded her. She leaves, to cherish her in their memories, her great-grandchildren, Harrison Loui, Max, Arianna, Gianna, and Lily. She fondly remembered her siblings and their spouses who preceded her, Frank and Louise J. Biamonte, Rose and Benjamin Longo, Mary and Anthony “Tony” Salvo, and Giovanna G. “Jennie” Fonseca. She is further survived by her brother-in-law, Robert Fonseca, many great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins; and a multitude of dear friends and neighbors who were devoted to her up until her passing. She was additionally predeceased by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Antonio and Christine (Miullo) Maggi. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the very compassionate and respectful people who cared for Anne at the Masonic Care Community of NY; their expert assistance ensured that she was happy during her time there. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Anne’s Mass of Christian Burial and Celebration of Life, which will commence on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Anthony & St. Agnes Church, 422 Tilden Ave., Utica.
