October 24, 1931 ~ July 18, 2024
Our sweet mother, grandmother and great-grandmother returned peacefully home to God on July 18, 2024. Anne was born October 24, 1931, to Italian immigrant parents Nicolo Caruso and Angela Domenica Di Sibio in Joliet, Illinois. She was the second of five children: Assuntina (Sue), Anthony, Rosealie (Rose) and Antonetta (Antoinette). She resided in Joliet until she was 16. Her family then moved and settled in Magna, Utah. Anne graduated from Cyprus High School Class of 1949 and went on to attend LDS Business College.
During a trip to visit cousins in Joliet, Anne met and fell in love with Bruce Neal Wallwork. They were married in Magna on October 23, 1954, where they lived until shortly after their first child Steven was born. In 1957 they moved back to Joliet for a short time where their second child Karen was born. In 1959, Anne and Bruce moved to Phoenix, Arizona where their third child Sandra was born and completed their young family. Anne secured a job with General Electric and 1966 brought about another move, this time to Portland, Oregon where Anne worked for the Veteran’s Administration hospital.
In 1969, Anne and Bruce divorced, and Anne and her children moved back to Magna to be close to family. Over the next 45 years, Anne worked for Kennecott Copper, Hercules, and ended her career working for Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, where she was an active member for many years. Anne loved her family, and her friends were very important to her. She made regular efforts to stay in contact with them.
Anne is survived by her children Steven and Robyn Wallwork, Karen Zamudio, Sandra and Dave Wallwork Baker; grandchildren Randy (Stephanie) Wallwork, Katie (Kyle) Hildreth, Tawny (Justin) Cruz, Taylor (Ethan) Beckstrand; great-grandchildren Audrey (Marcus) Mortensen, Natali, Emily, Kathryn Hildreth; Camille, Sabrina, Ashley Wallwork, Avery Carlston, Hailey and Arlo (Cruz); her sister, Antonnette Swasey, and brother-in-law, Fred Perfilli as well as many loving nieces, nephews and grand-nieces and nephews.
Anne is preceded in death by her parents Nick and Angela Caruso, brother Anthony, sister and brother-in-law Sue and Ted Pasternak, sister Rosealie Perfilli and brother-in-law Larry Swasey.
A funeral Mass was celebrated on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Magna. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
