WEST HAVEN, CT - (From West Haven Funeral Home): With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Anne M. Cubellotti of West Haven who left us on Saturday morning, August 29, 2020. Anne was born on April 3, 1940 in New Haven, a daughter of the late Paul Crissey and Cecilia (nee’ Ettore) Manson.

Anne touched many lives with her kindness, compassion and respect for others. She loved her family tremendously and her love was never doubted by anyone. Around the holidays, Anne baked hundreds of cookies and anyone who had the pleasure of tasting them will agree that they were better than those of even the best Italian bakery.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to replicate her signature chocolate chip cookies. Anne had a passion for animals from the squirrels and birds in her yard to the elephants, lions and tigers on Animal Planet.
