I would drive my dad up to Ohio several times. My Aunt and Unclealways had us over to eat. I remember this one time Aunt Annmade 3 kinds of soup. When I make them I always remember her.
Aunt Ann was a loving and kind spirited person. She was a very strong Christian and a awesome cook…I will miss her dearly and I know she’s up there with my dad and pop…prayers to her family

I hadn’t seen Anna since the late 80’s early 90’s when I worked for Gary but remember her as a very nice woman who smiled a lot. Prayers for Gary, Jimmy, Phillip, and the entire family.
Gary, we are so sorry for your family’s loss. You have our deepest sympathies and prayers.
My prayers go out to the family of this wonderful lady. I remember her from the times she used to visit her husband, Vincent “Jimmy” Devendra, when he was co-owner/operator of Bellaire Auto Service on Guernsey Street. My dad always bought and serviced his cars with the family, and I got to know them when I was growing up. Now that I’m retired and back home in the area, I continue the family tradition with her son, Gary. Rest in peace, Mrs. DeVendra. You deserve it.
