Anne was born October 31, 1922 in New York City, daughter of the late William Joseph and Agnes (McElwee) Lynagh.

Anne married Frederick Karl Herbert Yosca on November 23, 1950 in New York. Acquaintances since childhood, he was the love of her life and her best friend until his death in 2014.

She is survived by her daughter Anne Marie Massale (John J. Massale), four sons Rick Woolard (Sandra), Frederick S. Yosca (Patricia), William K. Yosca (Kate) and Kevin J. Yosca (Donna), her grandchildren Jennifer, John Paul, Pamela, Matthew, Luke, Jenna, Timothy, John Frederick and Ryan. She is also survived by her 12 loving great grandchildren.

Along with her parents and husband, Anne was preceded in death by her two sisters Mary Agnes Cortese and Dorothy Mandia and her brother John Jerome Lynagh.
