MAPLETON & PRESQUE ISLE – The Amero family sadly announces the passing of their wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Anne Lucille (McCready) Amero on November 7, 2016. Anne died with her family by her side due to complications of dementia.

Together they raised a large family of six children. She and Lou enjoyed spending time with each other, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, golfing, and traveling while savoring the local food wherever they went. Anne also loved animals of all species, crossword puzzles, reading, accounting, and shopping on QVC. She enjoyed her jobs as an orthodontic assistant, town clerk for the towns of Mapleton, Castle Hill and Chapman, and finally retiring from Burrelle’s.
