Anna Marie Zatorski, 87, of Lebanon, formerly of Lower Paxton Township, passed away on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at Linden Village. She was the wife of Stanley Zatorski, to whom she was married for almost 60 years, and built a life of love and devotion.
Born in Philadelphia, PA, on July 1, 1937, Anna Marie was a daughter of the late Domenic and Anna (Angeloni) Capaldi. She earned her nursing degree at St. Agnes School of Nursing in Philadelphia, where, after graduation, she served as an RN before moving to Harrisburg. She later found that she enjoyed retail work immensely, working at Fellers Clothing, then at Matthews Hallmark in the Colonial Park Mall. She was a member of St. Margaret Mary Church in Harrisburg and then St. Paul the Apostle Church in Annville.
She loved to do counted cross stitch and word finds, and watch Real Housewives and her beloved Philadelphia Mummers parades. Traveling was also a favorite pastime, especially to Disney World, and the Outpost Harry Survivor’s reunions. Most importantly, Anna Marie cherished spending time with her family in Philadelphia, her husband’s family in Nanticoke, and dear friends, Maggie Kirsch and Carol O’Donnell. At home, she adored her three rescued grand dogs, Jake, Bandit, and Ace, to whom she would sneak treats and encourage them to do things they were not supposed to.
In addition to her husband, Anna Marie is survived by her son, John Zatorski, husband of Dawn; and a multitude of nieces and nephews. She was the last of her immediate family. She was preceded in death by four sisters, Rose Pelone, Pauline Fiorentino, Lucielle Migatz, and Theresa Pinto; niece, Lisa Heliniak; and nephews, Joey Pinto, Michael Zatorski, and Henry Zatorski.
The family would like to thank the staff at Linden Village for the excellent care they provided.
