Russo, Gina Russo Wiley and husband Patrick; four grandchildren, Courtney Russo, Allison Russo, Cameron Wiley, Reid Wiley; seven siblings, Lucille Vining, Jenny Liner, Rose Bailey, Tony Lipari, Ronnie Lipari, Lana West, Mona Clausen.

Annie was preceded in death by her parents, Virginia, and Luke Lipari; husband, Frank Russo Jr.; his parents Frank and Una Russo Sr,: five siblings, Antonia Mire, Frank Lipari, Josephine Trahan, Leon Lipari, Luke Lipari.
