Quintenz, Anna Soza
Anna returned home on June 10, 2009 and is survived by her husband, Chris and daughter Casey Bone (Mike) and son Travis. Anna was born on December 1, 1958 in Tucson, AZ to Hank (deceased) and Grace Soza. She was the oldest of 6 children and will be missed by her brother Henry (Adriana) and sisters Leticia Gaxiola (Gil), Mary Jean Lopez (Steve) and Theresa Mendel (Kevin), many nieces and nephews and godchildren. With her passing, she joins her brother Ron (Lettie). Anna spent 30 years in dentistry, loved her job and was respected for her knowledge in that field. Her Catholic faith was everything to her; from RCIA and the Lenten Fish Frys to cooking on the parish teen retreats to Cursillo and Christ Renews His Parish. Anna lived in several houses in Phoenix but her home was at St. Thomas the Apostle. Family gave Anna her greatest joy. She was happiest when surrounded by her brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, Nana and Tata and her husband and children. Anna would just as soon as argue with you as have a conversation and she remained a fighter to the end. We'll miss hearing the "Be my little baby bumblebee" song, playing jacks, your laugh, and your hugs and kisses. A Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 16, from 6:00-8:00 pm, with a Rosary at 7:00 pm at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road. Funeral Mass will be at 10:30 am, Wednesday, June 17, at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 2312 E. Campbell, Phx. In
lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Anna's name to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul St. Thomas the Apostle Conference.
