Anna Marie DiVico Weisenmiller, 92, of Hampstead, MD, passed peacefully on November 18, 2019, surrounded by her family. Born on August 23, 1927 in Cumberland, MD, she was the daughter of the late Benjamin Camillo DiVico and Marie Ines Anita Grande DiVico. She was the loving wife of the late Robert “Bob” J.

Anna graduated from St. Mary’s High School of Cumberland, MD., in 1945. She worked at Kraft Foods in Cumberland. She met Bob after his service in the U.S. Navy in World War II in Cumberland, and they were married on September 15, 1947 at St. Mary’s Church in Cumberland, MD. Bob worked as a boiler maker on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Cumberland until 1954, but then joined the Maryland State Police. He served first in Waldorf, Maryland and then in Westminster until 1981. They moved to Waldorf, MD., in 1955 and then to Hampstead, MD., in 1970.
Anna’s parents were immigrants from Italy and she was proud of her Italian heritage. She traveled to Italy several times and connected with her relatives there. She attended one of their parish masses in Rome, and stayed for private meeting with the pope, St. John Paul II, who she met and talked to. She enjoyed music, conversation and cooking Italian food. She was a very sharp dresser. She was a member of the Anita Garibaldi Society of Cumberland, MD. She also was a very active member of St. Bartholomew’s Church. She was most proud of her family and was a busy homemaker. She greatly enjoyed being a grandmother, a great-grandmother and even a great-great grandmother.
