Anna Mascetti, age 92, a resident of Windsor Park in Carol Stream, formerly of Melrose Park and Glen Ellyn, went to be with the Lord on Monday, November 14. She was born October 6, 1924 in Melrose Park to Francesco and Pierina Giancarli.

After skipping two grades, she graduated from Proviso East High School and received an award for being the youngest graduate in the school's history. She married Joseph Anthony Mascetti Sr. on November 15, 1941. They raised their family in Melrose Park where they lived until 1987. She was an active founding member of her church, Melrose Park Christian Assembly, where she taught Sunday School for 40 years.
