Anna Dehanich, 99

Anna Dehanich died on Friday at home on Harbor Road in Amagansett, where she had lived since 2002. She was 99.

Her family said she was a caring, loving, religious person, who lived life to the fullest. “Anna was full of knowledge and wisdom,” they said.

Ms. Dehanich was born in Brooklyn on July 25, 1915, and grew up there, attending P.S. 172 and Bay Ridge High School. Her parents, John Dehanich and the former Catherine Uravich, had been married in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1906; they came to America three years later.

When Ms. Dehanich was 26 she went to work in Manhattan for the Radio Corporation of America, which became RCA Communications. She started out as a “comptometer” operator, before the modern calculator was invented, using a machine to multiply, divide, add, and subtract numbers, as part of her work on the company budget. She was with the company from 1941 to 1976.

In 1949, she moved from Brooklyn to Rockville Centre. Two of her three sisters followed with their families, all of them living right around the corner from each other. Ms. Dehanich, who never married, enjoyed helping her sisters raise their sons. Among her happiest memories, the family said, were her sisters’ weddings.

She enjoyed walking, too, relatives said — she never drove or owned a car. She walked to her sisters’ houses, to stores, to church, to meetings of her church groups, and to the Rockville Centre senior center.

In 2002 she moved to Amagansett to be close to her sister Margaret Fromm, who survives. She leaves six nephews including five in the Fromm family; 17 great-nieces and nephews, and 17 great-great nieces and nephews.

A wake will be held from 5 to 9 tonight at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. Mass will be said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton tomorrow at 10 a.m., with burial following at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale.

The family has suggested memorial donations to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.
