It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, Anita Jane Reese, more affectionately known as "Nunni" to many.  She departed this world peacefully in her home on Sunday, October 20, 2024, with her loving husband by her side.

Anita was born on August 6, 1947, in Beaver Falls, to the late Victor and Jane Mannerino.  She lived her childhood years in her loving family home in Beaver Falls.  She proceeded to graduate from Beaver Falls High School and attended Garfield Secretarial School.  She started her career at Century Bank and finished with Huntington bank after 44 years.  At the young age of 28, she met the love of her life, Dennis, who continuously showed her unconditional love and support.  They would go on to live a life that many dreamed of.  Throughout her life, Anita showed her love for the Lord and her unwavering devotion to her family.  She was a beautiful person who spread joy and happiness wherever she went.

Anita was preceded in death by her parents, Victor and Jane (Brocius) Mannerino; sister, Thelma Mannerino; and brother, Vince Mannerino.

She will be forever cherished and remembered by her husband, Dennis Reese; sister, Jean (Bob) Hessenauer; brothers, Fred (Barb) Mannerino, and Danny (Ginger) Mannerino; grandchildren, Corinne (Rebecca) Weaver, Joey Yarosz, and Seneca Fuze; great-grandchildren, Jacen, Zoey, Damaree, and Demarco; as well as many nieces and nephews, which include Colleen (Brian) LaNeve, who showed love and support through this difficult time.

In accordance with Anita's wishes, there will be no viewing or funeral services.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Anita's name to McGuire Memorial, 2119 Mercer Road, New Brighton, PA 15066.

A life that touches others goes on forever.  We love you always and forever, through and through, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, too.
