Anne Mary Trentacoste

Anne Mary Trentacoste, born on June 12, 1958, in Cheshire, Connecticut, passed away on September 7, 2025, in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She lived a life filled with warmth, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to her family and faith.

Anne's journey in life was greatly influenced by her education and career. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and later obtained her Licensed Practical Nursing Degree, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Throughout her professional life, she held Registered Nurse licenses in both Connecticut and Florida. Anne's nursing career flourished at Yale University's Waterbury Hospital, where she met the love of her life, Joseph Trentacoste. Their love story began when Joseph took care of Anne's father in the ICU after he suffered a heart attack. After Joseph left to pursue his residency in Miami, Anne followed him three years later, and they were united in marriage in 1988.

While Anne found fulfillment in her nursing career, her greatest joy came from being a mother to her four children: Christina Marie Farrell, Joey Trentacoste, Bridget Marie Trentacoste, and Benjamin Joseph Trentacoste. She often expressed that her proudest accomplishment was raising these four faith-filled and strong-willed children, who she regarded as the light of her life. Anne was deeply devoted to her husband, Joseph, and their partnership in marriage spanned 37 loving years, characterized by endless support and affection.

Known for her kindness, Anne touched many lives. She generously gave her time and support to anyone in need, embodying the spirit of compassion. Her Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life. She attended daily mass for many years, actively participating in Eucharistic adoration, and dedicated herself to educating her children in the faith, teaching CCD, and praying together as a family.

Anne had a zest for life, immersing herself in various hobbies and interests that brought her joy. She loved singing, doing crafts, playing with children, hugging, laughing, and, most importantly, praying. Her deep love for God and her family infused her life with purpose and meaning.

Anne is survived by her beloved husband, Joseph Trentacoste; her four cherished children, Christina Marie Farrell, Joey Trentacoste, Bridget Marie Trentacoste, and Benjamin Joseph Trentacoste; her son-in-law Bret Farrell, her daughter-in-law Greather Trentacoste, her granddaughter Guilia Joy Trentacoste, and her loving siblings, Veronica Puleo, Geri Napp, Terese Roberge, Mike Klimaszewski, Margaret Gray, Tina D'Amato, and Collette Cherneskie. She is preceded in death by her parents, Chester Klimaszewski and Norine Klimaszewski, and her brothers, John Batiste Klimaszewski and Gregory Klimaszewski. She is also preceded in death by her father-in-law, Joseph Trentacoste Sr., and mother-in-law, Millie Trentacoste.
