COSTA (SAHLI), Anne

September 27, 1935 - September 6, 2023.

Beloved child of God, the apple of his eye. Cherished daughter of John and Margaret. Precious sister to Fran, Chris and Joey. Devoted wife of 59 years to Manuel. Loving mother of Anette and Michelle ( Paul ). Treasured grandmother of Vanessa and Dylan. A priceless jewel with a heart of gold. With your love in our hearts, you will always be with us.

God looked around his garden

And found an empty space.

He then looked down upon this earth

And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

He knew the road was getting rough

And the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids

And whispered Peace be thine.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

A funeral service will be held at Corpus Christi Church in Rutland at 11 am, Saturday September 23, 2023

Annette, Michelle and family - our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom.
I truly cherished Sunday’s as a child when we met up with your family. I always felt safe and was happy in your parents company. Your Mom’s smile always big and her hug warm.
I hope you find comfort in the days ahead with the memories of yester years.
