Anne Muccino Harper

Anne Muccino Harper, 98, of New Britain, beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away peacefully on Thursday August 24, 2006 at the Brittany Farms Health Center in New Britain, surrounded by her loving family after a long illness. A native of Waterbury, Anne was a New Britain resident for some 60 years, where she devoted herself to her family, her church, and to helping others. She was a daughter of Rocco and Maria Tomasso Muccino, who emigrated to the United States from Montagano, Province of Campobasso, Italy in the latter part of the 19th century. A twin and the youngest of eight siblings, Anne finished grammar school at the Marriman School in Waterbury and then went to work at age of 14 to help her struggling family. She worked on the assembly line at the Scoville Manufacturing Company and the Button Shop in Waterbury. After her fathers untimely death, when she was 19 years old, Anne took on the added responsibility of supporting and taking care of her ailing mother. After her mothers death, she married and settled in New Britain where she began a family. In Waterbury, Anne was a communicant at Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church. A great source of pride for her was the fact that her parents were founders of Lady of Lourdes. Later in New Britain, she was a communicant at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church and St. Josephs Church. Early in life, Anne became a devoted believer in Christian values and strove to practice them throughout her life. She lived a humble and unpretentious life, but left her impression on all who came to know her through her kindness, generosity and compassion. She is survived by two daughters, Mary Ellen Jimenez of New Britain and Carole Anne Santos and her husband Roger White of Newington; a son, former State Senator Joseph H. Harper, Jr. and his fiancé Marilyn Katz of Berlin; two grandsons, Fernando Jimenez and Rory Broe; a granddaughter, Sarina Lee Santos; and great granddaughter, Kayleigh Jimenez; several nieces and nephews. Anne was predeceased by her husband Joseph H. Harper, Sr.; two granddaughters, Robin and Myra Yuskis; five brothers, Joseph, Thomas, Nicholas, Angelo Charlie, and her twin Anthony Toddy Muccino; and two sisters, Theresa Fruschella and Susan Daloia. Funeral services will be held Monday 9:15 AM at Carlson Funeral Home, 45 Franklin Square, New Britain followed by a Mass of Christian Burial 10 AM at St. Josephs Church, New Britain. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery. Calling hours are Sunday 4 to 7 PM at Carlson Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made to St. Josephs Church, 195 South Main Street, New Britain, CT 06051 or to Hospital for Special Care, 2150 Corbin Ave, New Britain, CT 06053.
